  • 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.

This new series took everything good about the old one, and distilled it. But no, "Hold still while i turn the air into rubber bands to hold you. August 27, Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. First and foremost, the first story here is widely acknowledged as the story that kicked off the "Silver Age" of comics. What the actual fuck? Panels are often horizontal and spread across the page, giving things a streamlined look. I was so curious where it is that I looked it up and opinion is divided as to whether it is in Ohio or Florida. This metabolic limitation would later be continued into Barry Allen's character for the brief television series The Flash broadcast in —91, as well as The Flash series which debuted in , though to a lesser degree. One thing we didn't mention was the name of his artistic collaborator. Modern comics would also probably play for comedy the idea of Barry Allen imitating and trying to live up to a fictional character in the real world, sort of like Walter Mitty but with power to back it up. March 21, Besides the introduction of Barry Allen, in this volume you'll find the first appearances of what would become many of Flash's most iconic villains: Captain Cold, Mirror Master, the Pied Piper, and Gorilla Grodd.

The output of the Marvel Conics Group in particular is literate, is both narratively and pbSlosophically sophisticated, and is ethically and morally responsible.

  • (Marvel Entertainment LLC) Marketing Strategy Case Study
    Marvel Enterprises, Inc. (Marvel Entertainment LLC) Marketing Strategy Case Study Ferris State University MKTG 476-001 Dr. Dedeaux April 30, 2015 By: Kellie Adams Alison Jarabeck Mary Karle Melissa Mattila Emily Schreur 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the generation focuses on the current implementation of the scientific revolution overtaking the industrial revolution period, Marvel sees itself at the coming of an entirely new time of age. Comic books are no longer traded, dealt, or prioritized in print as they once were. The technological advancements and the adaptation of social media and personal computers for the everyday user has changed comics and superhero worlds completely. Society and comic lovers want to purchase stories, movies, games, and apparel instantly to fulfill their superhero wants and desires. What once was a market for men, dominated by male figures, is now trending into an alternative pathway. Women rate the highest trending commodity, and the superhero industry must follow this change to capitalize on society’s wants. Lead roles and high-priority characters are taken on by feminine and ethnically diverse actors, as opposed to the traditional method of a superhero being a white male. To help Marvel improve their relevance among this upcoming market, a comprehensive marketing plan has been built from secondary research and collaborative insight. Marketing Research Findings ● The male market is declining, however those 18 to 49 years old males have been the focus for Marvel. ● There is 1 woman superhero for every 4 male superheroes in the Marvel Universe, making the female characters under represented. ● The majority of Marvel characters fit within the typical superhero stereotype, ignoring ethnic diversity.
