Once in custody, Myers breaks them out and demands his leadership status back, the four not knowing it was Myers who manipulated events to his advantage agree. However, as they start to regroup Schultz pulls Myers aside and informs him he is aware of Myers working with The Chameleon, and he is also aware that he owes Chameleon a debt of some kind. Myers panicking makes up a lie which Schultz seems to believe, but Myers, unable to trust Schultz, pushes him off a bridge in an attempt to silence and murder him. The next day the remaining members of the Sinister Six now missing Living Brain and Shocker start their heist on The Owl's compound none the wiser of Myers' multiple back stabbings the day before. Things initially go well for the team despite heavy conflict, but Myers quickly splits off from his three remaining teammates and allows Sanders, Lincoln, and Overdrive to be captured by The Owl's forces. Myers then reveals that at no point does he believe The Owl ever had the head of Silvermane, nor does he even believes it exists. He tricked not only his team, but also The Chameleon, just to steal his real prize, a painting of Doctor Doom that Doom himself had commissioned years ago. Myers believes the painting to be of high worth, and escapes The Owl's compound with the painting while leaving his former three teammates for dead. With all of his former teammates dead, and him being the only one who knows about the painting, Myers believes he can become a major crime lord all by himself without having to split the money. However unbeknownst to Myers, the head of Silvermane does exist, and through a series of coincidences, Schultz who has survived Myers' murder attempt comes into possession of the head at a junkyard. Back in The Owl's base, Owl prepares to slowly torture and kill the three captured members. Lincoln then reveals to the shock of everyone that she is the daughter of crime lord Tombstone and asked her father for rescue, to which he obliges. The Owl escapes the ensuing chaos while Lincoln, Sanders, and Overdrive escape with Tombstone and his men. Realizing that Myers was lying to them the whole time, but not entirely sure to what degree, the three split up to find Myers. Myers himself is also having a hard time, after lying to Mach VII about his whereabouts the day before, he is then visited by the Chameleon who tortures him until finding the painting of Doom shoddily hidden in haste. The Chameleon then tells Myers that he is taking the painting as reparation, and that their business together is concluded. Feeling at his lowest, Myers meets up with his new girlfriend at a bar and tells her that not only is he a super villain, but he also had just let the biggest score of his life slip though his fingers to Chameleon. At the end of the date, she convinces Myers to believe in himself as they kiss. The kiss is cut short by Bullseye who was hired at the request of The Owl. Bullseye captures Myers and his girlfriend, but only after Myers shows his true colors yet again by offering to trade his life for hers to mimic Bullseye's infamous murder of Elektra. The Owl reveals that this Bullseye is only a robot constructed by Tinkerer , and that he knows that Myers stole the painting of Doom. Myers then constructs another lie, saying that The Chameleon stole his identity and lead his team. The Owl believing Myers to be of little threat and incapable of any real power plays, offers Myers a chance to prove his story. Myers then goes into The Chameleon's base with a hidden camera, and manipulates Chameleon into mocking Myers while wearing Myers' face. The Owl, who now believes Myers' lie, lets Myers live and plans to attack Chameleon in revenge with his original team and additional super-powered henchmen, dubbed the Sinister Sixteen. Myers this time lets Overdrive steal Doom's portrait. Shultz escapes Hammerhead, who was tipped off by Hydro- Man as to Shultz's location and possession of Silvermane's head, and meets up with the team at their safe-house. The team steal SIlvermane's head, beat up Shultz and bury him alive in a grave, then decide to trade Silvermane's head with the Maggia, but unbeknownst to them they each made a secret pact to double-cross each other: Beetle asked her father to bring an army, Sander's asks Madame Masque , and Overdrive asks Mister Negative. The trade-off turns into a fiasco as the four armies battle. Hydro-Man, feeling guilty for betraying Shultz, rescues him from the grave. Myers is nowhere to be seen since the whole fiasco was just an elaborate plot to steal some of Chameleon's shape-shifting serum, so he can pretend to be the Mets ' pitcher, who was about to break his strikeout record. He calls his girlfriend to tell her to watch him on TV, but she turns out to actually be Black Cat , who stole the real Doom portrait hidden in his room. Owl then blackmails Myers to throw the game and not beat the record, but Myers throws the last strike anyway. Most of the team escape the battle and Shultz accidentally ends up saving the Maggia by knocking out The Punisher , who then crown as the new head of The Maggia Family. The series ends with Myers at a bar, having just finished recounting the tale for another patron. This edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:.

Hold me, Rhino Jeff , thank you so much for pestering me till I picked this up! Honestly, it has been one of the funniest titles I've ever read, and I'm planning on purchasing all the the volumes. All of you who know how cheap I am are probably picking yourselves up off the floor right now. I hope you didn't get hurt when you fell out of your chairs. Anyway, this was a good wrap-up for these characters. Like most great ti I'm so sad this is over! Like most great titles, when they come to an end, there's always bit of that letdown feeling. I mean, just look at this one's Daddy, Superior Spider-man. It's almost impossible to get everything perfect for the end of a beloved run. But, to Spencer's credit, he didn't shit the bed. There's still plenty of offbeat humor in Game Over , and to me that makes up for most sins. And as long as you keep giving me the funny, I'm pretty content to overlook other problems. Not that I thought there were any real problems So, this is Boomerang's swan song. And even though he's a total douchebag, you just can't help but root for him to finally score big. Or at least not die. In fact, you want all of these guys to get a Happily Ever After You want something not horrible good to happen to each and every one of these lovable losers! Does that happen? Read it, and find out. Ok, so there's no moral of the story or lesson to learn in these books. It's just a straight-up watch the stupid people fuck themselves over kind of thing. And, really, you can't ask for anything more than that, can you? Highly Recommended! View all 16 comments. Jan 16, Jeff rated it really liked it Shelves: comix. Imagine being on the bottom of the pecking order in one of the worst super heh villain groups in the history of comics, the Sinister Six Five. This is where Herman Schultz, aka The Shocker finds himself. After years of getting kicked in the dome by Spider-man, the Shocker is also a little slow on the uptake as well. Poor, poor Shocker. Ooo Boy!! Things are looking up, right? Um, no. The cybernetic head of Silvermane is a profane, nasty, undermining, rude, ugly noggin with no off switch unless you have duct tape handy. Poor, poor Twinkler Shocker not only has to deal with countless demeaning versions of his name, but is unmanned at every turn by a head.

Abstract Established in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a ubiquitous transmedia sensation. Its uniquely interwoven narrative provides auspicious grounds for scholarly consideration. The franchise conscientiously presents larger-than-life superheroes as complex and incredibly emotional individuals who form profound interpersonal relationships with one another. This thesis explores Sarah Hagelin’s concept of resistant vulnerability, which she defines as a “shared human experience,” as it manifests in the substantial relationships that Steve Rogers (Captain America) cultivates throughout the Captain America narrative (11). This project focuses on Steve’s relationships with the following characters: Agent Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier).

  • Masculinity, Aging, Illness, and Death in Tombstone and Logan
    ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER 791-51 DOI:10.5937/ ZRFFP48-18623 DANIJELA L J. P ETKOVIĆ1 UNIVERSITY OF N IŠ FACULTY OF P HILOSOPHY ENGLISH D EPARTMENT (IM)POSSIBLE MARTYRDOM: MASCULINITY, AGING, ILLNESS, AND DEATH IN TOMBSTONE AND LOGAN ABSTRACT. The title of this paper alludes to Hannah Arendt’s famous claim that in Nazi concentration camps martyrdom was made impossible, for the first time in Western history, by the utter anonymity and meaninglessness of inmates’ deaths (Arendt, 2000, p. 133): the paper, in contrast, examines two contem- porary films which, while intersecting normative/heroic masculinity with debilitating illness and death, allow for the possibility of martyrdom. Tomb- stone and Logan , directed by George P. Cosmatos and James Mangold respectively, depict the last days of such pop culture icons of masculinity as John Henry “Doc” Holliday and James Howlett, aka Logan/Wolverine. The films’ thematic focus on the (protracted) ending of life, which is evident not only in the storylines and dialogues but also in the numerous close-ups of emaciated, bleeding, scarred and prostrate male bodies, afflicted with tuberculosis and cancer-like adamantium poisoning, invites, first, a discus- sion of the relationship between the cinematic representations of normative and disabled masculinities. Specifically, since normative masculinity, as opposed to femininity, is synonymous with physical and mental strength, power and domination – including the control of one’s own body – the focus of this discussion is if, and how, the films depict Doc Holliday and Wolverine as feminized by their failing/disobedient bodies, thus contribut- ing to the cultural construction of gender. Secondly, the paper discusses the halo of martyrdom with which the films’ dying men are rewarded as emo- tionally deeply satisfying to the viewer: in Logan and Tombstone , death is not averted but hastened for the sake of friendship, family, and the protec- tion of the vulnerable and the marginalized.

  • Avengers Dissemble! Transmedia Superhero Franchises and Cultic Management
    Taylor 1 Avengers dissemble! Transmedia superhero franchises and cultic management Aaron Taylor, University of Lethbridge Abstract Through a case study of The Avengers (2012) and other recently adapted Marvel Entertainment properties, it will be demonstrated that the reimagined, rebooted and serialized intermedial text is fundamentally fan oriented: a deliberately structured and marketed invitation to certain niche audiences to engage in comparative activities. That is, its preferred spectators are often those opinionated and outspoken fan cultures whose familiarity with the texts is addressed and whose influence within a more dispersed film- going community is acknowledged, courted and potentially colonized. These superhero franchises – neither remakes nor adaptations in the familiar sense – are also paradigmatic byproducts of an adaptive management system that is possible through the appropriation of the economics of continuity and the co-option of online cultic networking. In short, blockbuster intermediality is not only indicative of the economics of post-literary adaptation, but it also exemplifies a corporate strategy that aims for the strategic co- option of potentially unruly niche audiences. Keywords Marvel Comics superheroes post-cinematic adaptations Taylor 2 fandom transmedia cult cinema It is possible to identify a number of recent corporate trends that represent a paradigmatic shift in Hollywood’s attitudes towards and manufacturing of big budget adaptations. These contemporary blockbusters exemplify the new industrial logic of transmedia franchises – serially produced films with a shared diegetic universe that can extend within and beyond the cinematic medium into correlated media texts. Consequently, the narrative comprehension of single entries within such franchises requires an increasing degree of media literacy or at least a residual awareness of the intended interrelations between correlated media products.

  • Chapter Eleven an Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881
    Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 1 Chapter Eleven An Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881 Tombstone, Arizona Territory, 1800s (Courtesy Tombstone Courthouse) Nellie stepped off the stage onto Allen Street’s dusty board sidewalk. She turned to catch her carpetbag when the stage driver lifted it down, but stumbled over the hem of her skirt into the path of a dark-haired man with a full mustache. The stranger grabbed Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 2 her waist. “Whoa. Welcome to Tombstone! Got your balance there, Ma’am?” Nellie pulled her traveling skirt out from under her button-down shoe and noticed the man wore a silver star on his blue shirt. He took her grip from the driver and set it on the sidewalk. “My name’s Virgil Earp.” Next to him two other men attempted not to laugh. Virgil smiled, and indicated the other two with his hand. “May I present my brother, Wyatt, and Doc Holliday?” Earp, not a common name. These must be the Earps who had served as lawmen in Dodge City. She’d read newspaper articles and one of T.J.’s dime novels about Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday stopped stamping his black boots to remove the dust, bowed at the waist and swept his bowler hat from his head. He smelled of leather and, what was that? Sage? “Indeed, welcome to Tombstone, lovely lady.” He drawled in a bass voice from under another wide black mustache. That made Nellie think of how Papa had always joked that men with mustaches were trying to hide something -- their upper lips.

    “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes by Brett Pardy B.A., The University of the Fraser Valley, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology Brett Pardy 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2016 Approval Name: Brett Pardy Degree: Master of Arts Title: “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes Examining Committee: Chair: Frederik Lesage Assistant Professor Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskander Supervisor Assistant Professor Michael Ma External Examiner Faculty Member Department of Criminology Kwantlen Polytechnic University Date Defended/Approved: June 16, 2016 ii Abstract The Marvel comics film adaptations have been some of the most successful Hollywood products of the post 9/11 period, bringing formerly obscure cultural texts into the mainstream. Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that a hegemonic American model of militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products. I consider the locations of narrative ambiguities in two key comics texts, The Ultimates (2002-2007) and The New Avengers (2005-2012), as well as in the film The Avengers (2012), and demonstrate the significant reorientation of the film franchise towards the American military’s “War on Terror”. While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful.
