Spider- Man pas la hauteur devant SupermanPar PrsenceIl s'agit d'un rcit complet et indpendant de tout autre, paru initialement en 1976. Il constitue la premire rencontre entre les 2 personnages, et la premire rencontre entre un personnage de l'univers partag DC, et un autre de Marvel. Le scnariste est Gerry Conway, le dessinateur Ross Andru, et l'encreur Dick Giordano. Neal Adams a redessin plusieurs apparitions de Superman, et John Romita junior a apport des amliorations sur les visages de quelques personnages.Ce tome est dcoup en 4 chapitres, pour une histoire de 92 pages. Dans le premier chapitre, Superman doit se battre contre Lex luthor qui a drob un mystrieux composant lectronique dans les laboratoires STAR de Metropolis, bord d'un robot gant. Dans le deuxime chapitre, Spider-Man se bat contre le docteur Octopus dont les hommes de main sont en train de dvaliser le Metropolitan Museum New York. Les 2 criminels se retrouvent dans la mme prison, dans des cellules voisines. De son ct, Clark Kent est envoy New York pour couvrir une confrence mondiale de reportages, avec l'quipe du Daily Planet. Sur place il croise Peter Parker et l'quipe du Daily Buggle. Lois Lane et Mary-Jane Watson sont enleves sous leurs yeux par un individu portant le costume de Superman. Il n'en faut pas plus pour que les 2 hros revtent leur costume de Superman et Spider-Man, et bien sr commencent se taper dessus suite une mprise.Dans son introduction, Gerry Conway explique trs bien les rgles du jeu de cette histoire, premier crossover du genre, fixant les rgles pour tous ceux qui suivront. L'histoire doit tre approuve dans ses moindres dtails par les 2 quipes de responsables ditoriaux, celle de DC, et celle de Marvel. Les 2 superhros doivent disposer de la mme exposition, en termes de nombre de pages (et mme de cases) sans que l'un soit mis en avant au dtriment de l'autre (les diffrentes versions de travail de la couverture sont trs difiantes sur ce point). Et bien sr, l'histoire ne doit absolument rien modifier du statu quo puisque l'accord pass pour cette co-publication est ponctuel, donc Spider-Man ne pourra pas faire rfrence Superman dans ses aventures mensuelles, et rciproquement.Au premier niveau de lecture, il s'agit d'un rcit destination d'un public jeune, avec des superhros aux valeurs morales sans ambigut. Les criminels sont irrmdiablement mchants et rvent soit de s'enrichir par le vol, soit de devenir matre du monde. Le faux Superman enlve Mary Jane Watson, sans qu'il ne soit jamais expliqu le pourquoi de son acte. Le lecteur a bien sr le droit au clich des clichs, avec les 2 superhros qui se tapent dessus avant de discuter. Les personnages se conduisent plus en adolescents (et mme en enfants) qu'en adultes (ah ! le fameux coup du seau d'eau au dessus de la porte entrebille). Quelques lments laissent songeur : pourquoi Spider-Man s'est-il tiss des skis en toile pour glisser sur l'air quand il est tir par Superman ? Mystre, mais a fait joli. L'intrigue et trs linaire et fourni une escalade de menaces, jusqu'au tsunami se dirigeant sur New York. Les rencontres entre les personnages secondaires des 2 sries sont galement trs superficielles, un niveau d'interaction limit l'change de 2 phrases entre d'un ct J. Jonah Jameson, Robbie Robertson, et de l'autre Morgan Edge, Steve Lombard et Perry White.Les dessins sont moins nafs que le scnario et bnficient d'un encrage des plus soigns. Ross Andru ralise des planches la lisibilit immdiate, avec des superhros aux postures trs iconiques, et des mouvements trs fluides. En fonction du scnario, il ne peut faire autrement que de dessiner 2 ou 3 reprises des dispositifs enfantins (le vaisseau d'Octopus cach dans l'enveloppe d'un ballon dirigeable, crdibilit zro, ou encore le vaisseau spatial de Luthor frapp du sigle de l'Injustice Gang, quelle discrtion !). Giordano ralise un encrage d'une prcision poustouflante, clair et mticuleux. Si la scne du tsunami manque d'ampleur, les acrobaties de Spider-Man sont trs enleves et Superman impressionne par sa puissance.En tant que curiosit ce tome mrite entre 3 et 4 toiles, en fonction de la tolrance du lecteur pour les histoires enfantines. Pour un lecteur plus g, il se produit un phnomne plus trange au fil des squences. Gerry Conway met en scne Superman tel qu'il tait dfini l'poque : tout puissant ou presque, avec des utilisations de superpouvoirs trs imaginatives. Par contraste, Spider-Man reste un simple tre humain dot "uniquement" d'une grande agilit, d'une force surhumaine, d'un sixime sens l'avertissant du danger et de ses lance-toiles. Cet tat de fait gnre un trange dcalage entre Spider-Man qui doit visiblement faire de vrais efforts pour triompher de ses ennemis, et Superman qui encaisse sans coup frir jusqu' temps de trouver la bonne manire d'utiliser ses pouvoirs. a commence avec la bagarre entre les 2 o Luthor a trouv le moyen d'augmenter la force de Spider-Man pour qu'il tienne le choc face Superman. D'un ct, le lecteur se rend bien compte que le choix de faire se rencontrer ses 2 superhros est dict par leur niveau de notorit similaire, plus que par une logique narrative ; de l'autre ct Spider-Man n'est pas la hauteur (avec un moment magnifique lorsque Superman prend conscience que si son poing touche le visage de Spider-Man pleine puissance, il va le pulvriser). Or ce gouffre de niveau de puissance (ou de capacit) ressort chaque scne o ils sont prsents ensemble. Dans l'une des bases de Luthor, un ordinateur explose dtruisant les donnes qu'ils recherchaient. Non seulement Superman pousse Spider-Man pour le mettre en scurit hors d'atteinte du souffle de l'explosion, mais en plus il reconstruit l'ordinateur super-vitesse, aprs coup grce sa super- mmoire, sans parler du fait que Spider-Man a mis 10 minutes pour parvenir jusqu' cette pice, alors qu'il a suffi Superman de passer travers mur.Du coup cette rencontre qui devait mettre les 2 superhros sur un pied d'galit se transforme en une srie d'humiliations involontaires vis--vis de Spider-Man, tout juste bon retarder les supercriminels pendant que Superman fait le gros du travail. Cette histoire a t rdite dans le premier tome de "Crossover classics", avec la deuxime rencontre entre ces 2 superhros : Superman et Spiderman (1981), crite par Jim Shooter, dessine par John Buscema, et encre par Joe Sinnott, Terry Austin, Klaus Janson, Bob McLeod, Al Milgrom, Steve Leialoha, Walt Simonson, Bob Layton, Joe Rubinstein et Bob Wiacek.-PLUS DE CROSSOVERS MARVEL / DC (en VO)DC/Marvel crossover classics 1 : Superman vs. Amazing Spider-Man (1976), Hulk / Batman (DC Special Series 27, 1981), Spider-Man / Superman (Marvel Treasury Edition, 1981), Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (1982)DC/Marvel crossover classics 2 : Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire (1994), Punisher/Batman: Deadly Knights (1994), Batman/Captain America (1996), Silver Surfer/Superman (1996)DC/Marvel crossover classics 3 : Spider-Man and Batman (1995), Spider-Man/Gen13 (1996), Team X/Team 7 (1996), Daredevil/Batman (1997), Generation X/Gen13 (1998), Incredible Hulk vs Superman (1999)DC/Marvel crossover classics 4 : Darkseid vs. Galactus : The Hunger (1995), Green Lantern/Silver Surfer : Unholy Alliances (1995), Batman/Spider-Man (1997), Superman/Fantastic Four (1999)Il est possible d'ajouter cette liste deux rencontres plus prestigieuses : Wildcats / X- men (1997/1998) et JLA/Avengers (2003).

  • Comic Book Journalists Beyond Clark Kent It’S a Different Era of Anti-Heroes and Realism, but the Reporter Is Still an Effective Device, Comics Insiders Say
    138 Matty Roth runs into trouble in Brian Wood’s title DMZ #17 (May 2007). Comic Book Journalists Beyond Clark Kent It’s a different era of anti-heroes and realism, but the reporter is still an effective device, comics insiders say. Bill Knight Professor of Journalism Department of English and Journalism Western Illinois University [email protected] The public respects journalists and holds “the press” in low esteem, according to several surveys – much like Congress’ approval ratings that are low collectively while individual incumbents usually are re-elected. Americans seem dissatisfied with institutions but appreciative of people they know who happen to make up those institutions. A We Media/Zogby Interactive poll released on February 29, 2008, showed that 70% of Americans believe journalism to be important to their communities, but 64% are dissatisfied with its quality. In popular culture, journalists are often featured in novels, films, and other forms of entertainment, but one of pop culture’s most enduring uses of the journalist is in comic books. 139 However, comics’ often shallow journalist characters – embodied by the milquetoast version of Clark Kent – recently have evolved into more full-bodied roles: weak or vain, blustery or cynical, realistic or at least somewhat more credible for twenty-first century audiences. In the last few years, running characters or situations that expand the role of journalists in comic books range from DMZ’s Matty Roth and Transmetropolitan’s Spider Jerusalem to Phantom Jack’s Jack Baxter, Deadline’s Kat Farrell, and Front Line’s Ben Urich and Sally Floyd. This year is the seventy-first anniversary of the publication of Action Comics No.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.

  • SUPERMAN GENESIS EXT: KRYPTON Krypton, Twice the Size Of
    SUPERMAN GENESIS EXT: KRYPTON Krypton, twice the size of earth, is a dark green tented planet with massive cities visible from its atmosphere. On one side of the planet sits the, red sun, Rao while the moon Wegthor counters the other. Krypton’s surface is made of high rise buildings, enormous statues of former leaders. The vast countryside depicts breathtaking mountain ranges; crystal clear lakes surrounded by lushes meadows. The more prominent cities include Argo City, Kryptonopolis and the planet’s capital Kandor. EXT: KANDOR The busy city is made of countless skyscrapers and busy streets. At the cities center lies the Council Temple. INT: COUNCIL TEMPLE The temple is made of high ceilings, statues honoring previous leaders of the science council. INT: COUNCIL ROOM In the middle of the large room sits a massive table. The walls resemble famous Kryptonian art passed down from generations. At the table, members of the council sit for an emergency meeting. JAX-UR, one of the leading scientific minds of Krypton, wears the dark red cloak representing his place in the Science Council. The cloak also sports a center chest piece of an altered Superman logo. Jax-Ur is bald with an eye patch. Jax-Ur: “It is my strong recommendation we activate the Krypto Genesis Protocol while there is still time.” KOR-TE, an out spoken council member, quickly counters the recommendation: “I was under the impression that project had been placed in remission.” Jax-Ur: “And I was under the impression we are trying to save our home. Releasing the selected elements into Krypton’s core can reverse the degeneration.” 1 Kor-Te: “Or immediately kill us all! Just as your brilliant mind nearly destroyed Wegthor!” Jax-Ur standing in frustration: “We have no other choice! If we do not act now everything will be lost!” A booming voice comes from the table’s head: “Silence!” Everyone’s attention is turned toward, the science council leader, JOR-EL.

He can pick up a book and read it instantaneously! We’ve seen this in the superman movies and in the comics. His eyes light up golden, and he just reads through the book in a second. Within Milliseconds, he can read full encyclopedias, dictionaries and textbooks. Even the thickest book in the world would only take him a matter of seconds to fully read. The other thing about Superman is, he's very gifted at writing. Let's think about it, he is with Lois Lane writing and journaling all day. He and his lover are writers. These are two main skills of superman. We can start being particularly proficient at reading and writing. Obviously, we will not read a book in the matter of seconds.

BATMAN, CATWOMAN, GOTHAM CITY, ET AL CREATED BY BOB KANE, PROPERTY OF DC ENTERTAINMENT, USED WITHOUT PERMISSION KNIGHT OF THE MIRRORS “You look around and see a lot of negative things, and you can’t help but feel like you’re a part of something negative, and that maybe you're something negative.” The Wayne One engines hummed quietly in the background while Bruce studied the photograph that accompanied the quote. A boy in his early teens, about the age Tim was when Bruce had met him. About the age of the boys in the favela who’d played such a role in finding the so-called Gang of Six that were running Demon in Ra’s al Ghul’s absence. The boy was describing life, not in an impoverished shanty town in Brazil but in the housing projects of Gotham. You look around and see a lot of negative things… It was obvious why Lucius wanted this quote for the website, the quote and the boy were the perfect 5-second capsulation of what the Foundation was trying to accomplish with the Neighborhoods program. Throwing money at a school did nothing on its own, not when everywhere a student looked reinforced the message that tomorrow would be no better than today. A multi-tiered approach was vital. That’s why the arts and cultural programs had to stay, right alongside the health, education and conservation efforts.
