  • Invincible Jumpchain- Compliant CYOA
    Invincible Jumpchain- Compliant CYOA By Lord Statera ​ Introduction Welcome to Invincible. Set in the Image comic book multiverse, this setting is home to older heroes and villains like Spawn, The Darkness, and The Witchblade. This story, however, focuses on the new superhero Invincible (Mark Grayson), the half-breed Viltrumite-Human hybrid and son of the world famous hero Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson). Invincible spends the beginning of his career working alongside the Teen Team, and with his father, to defend not only Baltimore but the Earth from many and varied threats. Little does he know that his father, rather than being an alien from a peace loving species, is actually a harbinger of war to the planet Earth. Viltrumites are actually a race bent on conquering the universe, one planet at a time. And with their level of power, not much can stop them. Fortunately, there is one secret the Viltrumite Empire has been hiding. Over 99% of the Viltrumite population had been wiped out using a plague genetically engineered by scientists of the Coalition of Planets, they are forced to wage a proxy war using their servant races against the Coalition, all the while sending individual Viltrumites out to take one world at a time, in their attempt to conquer the stars. As humans are the closest genetic match for the Viltrumite race outside of another Viltrumite, the remnants of this mighty alien race turn their sights on Earth in the hopes of using it as a breeding farm to repopulate their race. To help you survive in this universe, here are 1000 Choice Points.

  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • GOSPEL MAGIC Jonathan Allen Opens up God’S Box of Tricks
    TRIVIA: GOSPEL MAGIC Jonathan Allen opens up God’s box of tricks In Modern Enchantments (2002), cultural historian Simon During describes the magic of conjuring and stage illusion using the term ‘secular magic’. Such magic is to be distinguished from the ‘real’ or ‘potent’ magic of the shaman (and later the institutionalised priest), and the ‘natural’ magic of the alchemist (and later the scientist). Gospel magic, tricks performed by committed Christians, represents therefore something of an amalgam since it operates within the spheres of secular magic and real magic simultaneously. According to American evangelist Duane Laflin in Greater Gospel Magic (2000), the first documented gospel magician was Rev Charles H Woolston, a Pennsylvanian pastor who used magic tricks, or ‘object lessons’, to illustrate biblical themes to late nineteenth- century revivalist congregations. The use of magic effects in the didactic service of Judeo-Christian belief was in fact common to European mediaeval mystery plays; the decollation of John the Baptist, and the miraculous ascension of Christ were both achieved using principles well documented within magic history (see Reginald Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft [1584], and John McKinven’s Stage Flying: 431BC to Modern Times [1995]). Cloistered monk Thomas Betson (d.1516) was busy at Syon Abbey with invisible inks, levitating eggs and mysteriously ambulating apples (created, respectively, with urine, a human hair and an inserted beetle), and lets not forget the infamous Rood of Boxley, a kind of Jesus-as-Action

Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.
