Community Reviews. Fun heart-felt stuff, with great art! It was clear that they were trying to do a lot of Marvel crossovers--Captain America, Spider-Woman, Cloak and Dagger, and Bombshell off the top of my head. In Book the Second, Miles gets taken to school on symbiotes… …but tragedy is just around the corner, with this as the sad consequence. And yet feeling the ways Bendis echoes and harmonizes with elements of the original Spider-Man stories here--not retelling, not even a homage, but lovely echoes throughout--and watching Miles build his own world is fascinating. It's just such a creepy and unknowable adversary, and it looks metal as fuck. Pickup not available. He gets anxiety, he's incredibly sweet and kind. Your review has been submitted successfully.

Ganke is so gentle with him when Miles comes to him for support. There's also the weirdness of Gwen Stacy and Aunt May not really knowing who Miles is when they set up a meeting with him, despite the fact that in the first collection Spider-man from the regular Marvel universe was sent through a portal and they all visited for a day. It's just such a creepy and unknowable adversary, and it looks m This is a solid entry, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the Ultimate Collection Volume 1, which gives Miles's origin story, has a great storyline with his uncle Aaron Davis, and has a really fun universe-crossover with Peter Parker-Spiderman.

Miles has quit being Spidey for an extremely understandable reason. I would be certain that they were introducing Ganke as a gay character and perhaps, we'd get more on that later. This relationship is wonderful. Anyway, he works with them, Spider-Woman and Bombshell to stop Roxxon corp's evil scientists and we get the iconic panel: Overall, pretty solid.

Miles Morales is a very good character for the new Spiderman. She seems a lot less interesting than her counterpart. I'm loving this series so much and thanks to all the characters introduced throughout this volume, I'm even more pumped to continue reading. Roxxon has a very different appearance when he's introduced than when his sub-story kicks into gear.

  • Creating a Superheroine: a Rhetorical Analysis of the X-Men Comic Books
    CREATING A SUPERHEROINE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE X-MEN COMIC BOOKS by Tonya R. Powers A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August, 2016 Approved: __________________________________________________________ [Chair, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Head, Major Department] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Fine Arts and Humanities] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Graduate School] [Date] ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of a two-year X-Men comic book publication that features an entirely female cast. This research was conducted using Kenneth Burke’s theory of terministic screens to evaluate how the authors and artists created the comic books. Sonja Foss’s description of cluster criticism is used to determine key terms in the series and how they were contributed to the creation of characters. I also used visual rhetoric to understand how comic book structure and conventions impacted the visual creation of superheroines. The results indicate that while these superheroines are multi- dimensional characters, they are still created within a male standard of what constitutes a hero. The female characters in the series point to an awareness of diversity in the comic book universe. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my thesis committee chair, Dr. Hanson, for being supportive of me within the last year. Your guidance and pushes in the right direction has made the completion of this thesis possible. You make me understand the kind of educator I wish to be. You would always reply to my late-night emails as soon as you could in the morning.

  • 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.

    FREE ALL-NEW X-MEN: HERE TO STAY PDF Brian Bendis,Stuart Immonen,David Marquez | 136 pages | 29 May 2013 | Panini Publishing Ltd | 9781846535475 | English | Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom All New X Men Special Here To Stay | Viewcomic reading comics online for free The Phoenix decided to get involved and possessed and corrupted Cyclops, the leader of the X-Men who then struck down Professor Xavier. It took all of the Avengers and the X-Men to bring him down. The Phoenix Force was dispersed across earth creating new mutants. They would, of course, rather have these mutants under their roof learning. It goes without saying that in this world the law and others like them want to lock up mutants. Beast, however, has another plan to try to change things. He finds a way to go back in time to when he and Scott were just starting out as X-Men in order to bring back the past Scott to see his future self in order to prevent him from becoming that. Like a Christmas Carol in a weird, yet cool way. Only it all goes awry when all of the X-Men insists on coming too. Back then Jean didn't have her telepathic abilities yet and more importantly, All-New X-Men: Here to Stay still alive. Neither side knows what to make of the other when they arrive back in the present. Jean's psychic powers become suddenly activated and she has to figure out how to use them herself on the fly. Kitty Pryde helps Jean begin to learn how to use her powers and boy does she.
