  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

As companies around the globe continue to shift to the cloud, strategic and financial buyers are on the hunt for innovative cloud-based technology acquisitions. The global public cloud services market is estimated to be growing at 6.3% in 2020, bringing the total market size to $257.9 billion by the end of the year, up from $242.7 billion in 2019.

  • John J. Sullivan
    NNATIONALATIONAL RRIGHTIGHT TOTO WWORKORK CCOMMITTEEOMMITTEE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PERSONNEL ALERT John J. Sullivan Big Labor Lawyer Nominated Position: Federal Election Commissioner Executive Summary The phrase of the week has been “life experience” regarding President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination. So, today’s National Right To Work Committee alert looks at the real “life experi- ence” of Federal Election Board nominee John Sullivan. From his time as a Steelworkers Union President (1978) through today, Sullivan’s working life experience has been focused on defending the actions of labor union bosses and promoting their forced-dues power. Even during his brief time as a Teamsters Election Officer Counsel, the public record available indicates that his actions supported power grabs by corrupt, incumbent union bosses. In one case, he represented the Election Officer in his demand to disclose personal information about those who supported the incumbent Teamster boss’ opponents. Sullivan’s legal positions must have impressed some Teamster union bosses because soon-to-be barred-for-life Teamster Boss Ron Carey hired Sullivan to be the Teamster Associate General Counsel. While Sullivan was Teamster Counsel, the Teamsters and multiple organizations, in- cluding the Clinton White House and the Democrat National Committee, devised and pursued a multi-million dollar election campaign finance money laundering scheme. This scheme directly involved familiar names like Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes. Despite the legal efforts of Sullivan and other Teamster lawyers, the federal government took the extreme and rare step of barring Sullivan’s boss, Ron Carey, for life from the Teamsters un- ion.

  • Keeping Our Focus on Francis an SFO REVIEW - Fr
    Keeping our focus on Francis AN SFO REVIEW - Fr. John Sullivan, ofm ALL CREATION in Christ B1 have on hand: SFO Rule; Catechism of Cath.Church St. Paul wrote to the Colossians (1:15-18) “He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creatures. In him everything in heaven and on earth was created, things visible and invisible. All were created through him; all were created for him. He is before all else that is. In him everything continues in being. It is he who is head of the body, the church!.. he who is the beginning, the first-born of the dead, so that primacy may be his in everything. Friar Celano-I in (-p.250-1 ) chapter 29 describes the love that he [Francis] had toward all creatures for the sake of the creator and a description of both aspects of his person. “To enumerate and recount all the things our glorious father Francis did and taught while living in the flesh would be a lengthy or an even impossible task. Who could ever express the deep affection he bore for all things that belong to God. Or who would be able to tell of the sweet tenderness he enjoyed while contemplating in creatures the wisdom, power, and goodness of the Creator? From this reflection he often overflowed with amazing, unspeakable joy as he looked at the sun, gazed at the moon, or observed the stars in the sky. What simple piety! What pious simplicity!” And there’s more.... Friar Thomas of Celano reflects (Cel-II, chap.124,in Omnibus,p.494): “In every work of the artist he [Francis] praised the Artist; whatever he found in the things made he referred to the Maker.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.
