The Starfish Steals the ShowBy S. H. WellsCollecting: X-Club (miniseries) 1-5Bonus: Pencil Gallery Art Process GalleryI have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by this miniseries. The issues collected here feature the X-Men's ("the real X-Men of Utopia" as Cyclops points out) science team: Dr. Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, Kavita Rao, and Danger. As a fan of the X-Men I was aware of these generally peripheral characters, and I was dubious about a series spotlighting them. However this graphic novel contains at its core a fun romp through quantum theory interspersed with a man-machine love story with some Nazis and a hilarious starfish thrown in to round out the story.Yes this is one of more "out there" x-plots, but the novel also has enough nods to the mainstream x-series that I think it is worth picking up. Cyclops in particular comes across as nearly desperate in his post-Schism position.Writer Simon Spurrier handles the series well. Spurrier tackles science/theory jargon with Big Bang Theory timing. He also manages to cram a lot of philosophical food for thought between these covers including: the relationship between science and religion; the definition of life; the multiverse.Artist Paul Davidson handles some unenviable tasks well (how exactly does one draw a person being disincorporated across eleven dimension?). Moreover Davidson's art particularly after Nemisis is beaten within an inch of his life really humanizes the pompous doctor.A few notes of disappointment about this graphic novel. First the paperstock is extremely thin. I prefer graphic novels with glossy durable pages, the paper here feel cheap and the artwork look about the same as in the magazine/serial version. A nicer paper could have made the art "pop." Second (and this only for shoppers and in no way reflects on novel itself) I received this directly from in a padded bag, no backboard or anything. So it had some bent corners and dings. Shoppers may want to ask for a box or cardboard backer when purchasing.Overall I was pleasantly surprised to find a mini-series featuring some lesser known characters that was fun to read. I can recommend this to x-fans for the chance to see some of the science team's characters developed more fully than in the mainstream comics.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Unexpectedly goodBy ravl13Having read the disappointing X-Men: S.W.O.R.D. - No Time to Breathe TPB, which was about an X-men-related "side team" from the Astonishing X-men run, I came into this TPB - which is about a different X-men side team - with low expectations. Fortunately, this book was way better than I thought it would be."X-club" consists of Dr. Nemesis, Dr. Rao, Danger, and Madison Jeffries; if you have no idea who these characters are, skip this book - it is not for you. However, as long as you have seen all 4 of these characters before - even if you're not particularly attached to any of them - this book is worth a read...ESPECIALLY if you like Dr. Nemesis. He absolutely steals the show in this book.The plot of this book is rather absurd, but it's a fun ride. It's chaotic, but manages to remain understandable. And it's quite funny in places.This book gets 5-stars if you have any interest in the X-club members, but if you don't know about these characters beforehand, it's probably going to be a junky read for you.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun X-Men spinoffBy Wonder CilantronThis 5 issue miniseries is a complete-in-itself fun romp with three scientists (Dr. Nemesis, Kavita Rao, and Madison Jeffries) plus Danger, the A.I. formerly known as the X-Men's Danger Room. I don't think you really need any familiarity with these characters or the X-Men (who are only tangentially involved) to enjoy this story. Marvel should do more with these characters! "WE DO SCIENCE!" In the wake of SCHISM, the X-Men's Science Team takes it upon themselves to make a gesture of goodwill on behalf of mutantkind and better the world ... using SCIENCE. But just as construction of the X-Club's state of the art space elevator nears completion, chaos erupts! And it appears to the world that mutants are to blame. Can Dr. Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, Kavita Rao and Danger clear the X-Men's name before their experiment backfires? Don't miss the story that will surely change how you look at the X-Men and the Periodic Table of Elements FOREVER!

  • Calabozo 26.FH10
    Salgo del departamento de mi hermana a las 8:00 a.m. en punto. Me lleva media hora llegar Calabozo del Androide nº 26 / Octubre a la universidad caminando. En mi ruta encontré 2005 hoy unos negativos junto a otra basura en la calle. El voyerista que hay en mí no pudo resistirse Director/Editor a recoger aquellos negativos. Aparentemente Sergio Alejandro Amira son de un viaje, aparentemente de una familia, hay una foto donde aparece un hombre, una Diagramación y Dirección de Arte mujer y dos niños. ¿Quiénes serán?, ¿en que Sergio Alejandro Amira sitio tomaron sus fotos? Se las mostré a un compañero de curso, me dijo que parecía San Portada Pedro de Atacama. La mayoría de las fotos son John Cassaday de cactus, playas, carreteras, iglesias, hay una donde se distingue un letrero que dice Chungará, Colaboradores altura 4.500 metros. El Chungará es uno de los David Mateo lagos más altos del mundo a 4.517m de altitud Daniel Vak Contreras y se encuentra a los pies de los volcanes gemelos Payachatas y las lagunas Cotacotani, en el Norte Grande chileno. Estoy seguro que nunca iré por esos lados, odio viajar. exxSupongo que podría escribir que gracias a esa familia anónima y a los negativos desechados de sus maravillosas vacaciones me vi mágicamente transportado al desierto chileno y blablablá, pero no lo haré. No quiero saber nada de desiertos ni de familias chilenas de vacaciones, sentido y en el mismo sujeto describe muy bien ¿habrá algo más detestable que una familia de el principio de incertidumbre de Heisenberg que vacaciones? Odio las vacaciones.

    Major Research Paper Fear of Apocalypse and Sinister Truths in the X-Men Universe An Analysis on Metaphors of Mutation, the Collective Shadow, and Prevalent Archetypes of Good and Evil in the X-Men Comics By Marco Mesquita, B.A. (Hons.), B. Ed. A Major Research Paper submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Supervisor: Dr. Karen Krasny Second Reader: Dr. Warren Crichlow Submitted: March 29, 2017 Faculty of Education York University Toronto, Ontario Mesquita 2 Introduction Joseph Campbell (1949), the author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, declares that myths and mythmaking is an integral component to the paradigm of consciousness and the manifestation of cultural and social awareness. Myths and religion, the stories of our ancestors, resonate deeply in our collective consciousness and the study of archetypes presents for this reader’s consideration, a way of constructing meaning of and purpose for our very existence through the exploration of texts old and new (in this case, through superhero comic books). For Campbell, the realization of our own potential and destiny goes beyond making whimsical connections with heroes, gods, and the natural world; it is through the vast nexus of patterned and interwoven stories (spanning the history of our world) that we may realize how the hero’s journey correlates to our own pursuit of knowledge and amelioration. The hero’s quest may indeed be reflective of our own moralistic pursuits and journey to transcendence; however, I contend that it is through the final confrontation with the Jungian shadow that real lessons are learned by both the characters and the reader, which in turn add to the construction of a shared consciousness and reflections on morality and identity.
