Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 was originally very excited to read her Deadpool run, as I've always loved every cameo in her other Marvel books, and humor with a dark edge is Simone's bread and butter at least, it is now. Plus, several elements from her run were incorporated into the Deadpool movies, and this is the first appearance of Simone's original character Outlaw part of the bff trio Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 her Domino run. I finally got to read it with my Marvel Unlimited subscription, and I wish I hadn't. Well, just Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 Deadpool issues, I'm not making it to the Agent X. Some of Deadpool's humor was there, but nothing to make me laugh out loud, and a "doorknob" running joke got old fast. The plot was complete nonsense, every woman was a half dressed Barbie doll I know it was the mid's, but I still hate itwith some very cringey panels that looked like soft porn and even worse gender stuff that I would have never expected from Simone - apparently women are either golddiggers or being beaten up by their boyfriends. In the same vein, all Outlaw does is flirt. Aside from that, there's some very problematic mental health related stuff with a homeless person, and the only Black character is a very terrible villain. Udon's work was serviceable, but too anime for my taste I like anime, just not for a DP comic. Just a bad read all around. Dec 01, Adelaide Metzger rated it it was amazing Shelves: comic-books-and-graphic-novelsthe-reading-plansummer- reading-list I held off for the longest time to get into this volume and it was partly because I was uncertain of where Gail Simone would take the story. Gail Simone Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 that, but instead of leaving Deadpool hanging in the hands of someone else, she continues her Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 I held off for the longest time to get into this volume and it was partly because I was uncertain of where Gail Simone would take the story. Gail Simone does that, but instead of leaving Deadpool hanging in the hands of someone else, she continues Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 Wilson-story by erasing his name and creating a completely new character--but with the same-ish personality. Enter Agent X. Enter a very confused Wade Wilson fan. Simone does a great job with Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 chemistry Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 personality this is her strongest trait in story-writing. The Agent X issues were Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 funny. Things like the Deadpool game portrays Wade as a boob-loving, overly unbalanced mercenary with no care for anyone. But I really believe that Classic Deadpool has the best personality. Feb 08, Aaron rated it liked it. Finally, Deadpool's back! Following Joe Kelly's stellar run on the character disregarding the Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 he just kind of pooped out the endingthis book hit a serious rut. Nobody knew how to write Deadpool Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 seemingly decades. Then Gail Simone came along, in what just so happened to be her first mainstream comic book, and man did this book improve a lot. She brought Deadpool back to being a maddening, wisecracking goofball Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 deep down wants to be good, but just can't quite get there. She added, Finally, Deadpool's Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 The action is at times hilarious, and even UDON Studios' art, which is usually very cookie-cutter, seems to fit here. The only thing is, she didn't get much time to actually live in this reinvigorated Deadpool. I don't know if it was her decision or editorial's, but the Deadpool comic ended only 5 issues into Simone's run, instead getting replaced by the decent-but-not-great Agent X. You can still catch Simone's joyful writing style in Agent X, and it definitely FEELS like it's a Deadpool book of sorts, but not actually having Deadpool involved just makes it lose a lot of its energy. View all 3 comments. Dec 29, Chris Lemmerman rated it really liked it Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. After struggling through a few mediocre runs, Deadpool finally hits the jackpot again as Gail Simone and Udon Studios bring him back to the big time with amusing plots with the edge of serious drama reminscent of Joe Kelly's character defining run. The Merc With A Mouth goes out with a bang, literally, and the revered yet uncollected until now Agent X series rounds out the collection with Deadpool Classic: Volume 9 first six issues.

  • Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle
    THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Michelle Haughey August 2011 © 2011 Sarah Michelle Haughey THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE Sarah Michelle Haughey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation, The ‘Bestli’ Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle English Literature explores the reasons for the survival of the beast-like outlaw, a transgressive figure who highlights tensions in normative definitions of human and natural, which came to represent both the fears and the desires of a people in a state of constant negotiation with the land they inhabited. Although the outlaw’s shelter in the wilderness changed dramatically from the dense and menacing forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright, known, and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads, the outlaw remained strongly animalistic, other, and liminal, in strong contrast to premodern notions of what it meant to be human and civilized. I argue that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national political and ecological crisis—as they did during the Viking attacks of the Anglo-Saxon period, the epoch of intense natural change following the Norman Conquest, and the beginning of the market revolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Figures like the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward, the exiled Marcher lord Fulk Fitz Waryn, and the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood, represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested.

    COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies Texas A&M University-Commerce in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2017 COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

  • Why Wonder Woman Matters
    Why Wonder Woman Matters When I was a kid, being a hero seemed like the easiest thing in the world to be- A Blue Beetle quote from the DC Comics publication The OMAC Project. Introduction The superhero is one of modern American culture’s most popular and pervasive myths. Though the primary medium, the comic book, is often derided as juvenile or material fit for illiterates the superhero narrative maintains a persistent presence in popular culture through films, television, posters and other mediums. There is a great power in the myth of the superhero. The question “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” could be answered simply. Wonder Woman matters because she is a member of this pantheon of modern American gods. Wonder Woman, along with her cohorts Batman and Superman represent societal ideals and provide colorful reminders of how powerful these ideals can be.1 This answer is compelling, but it ignores Wonder Woman’s often turbulent publication history. In contrast with titles starring Batman or Superman, Wonder Woman comic books have often sold poorly. Further, Wonder Woman does not have quite the presence that Batman and Superman both share in popular culture.2 Any other character under similar circumstances—poor sales, lack of direction and near constant revisions—would have been killed off or quietly faded into the background. Yet, Wonder Woman continues to persist as an important figure both within her comic universe and in our popular consciousness. “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” To answer this question an understanding of the superhero and their primary medium, the comic book, is required, Wonder Woman is a comic book character, and her existence in the popular consciousness largely depends on how she is presented within the conventions of the comic book superhero narrative.

    Some jobs are just too tough for your average fast-talkin’ high-tech gun-for-hire. Sometimes...to get the job done right...you need someone crazier than a sack’a ferrets. You need Wade Wilson. The Crimson Comedian. The Regeneratin’ Degenerate. The Merc with a Mouth… During the Secret Invasion, Deadpool was hired by Nick Fury to steal vital Skrull bio- data. But Norman Osborn intercepted the transmission of the data and used it to take down the Skrull Queen—which made him famous, and Deadpool one ticked-off (and unpaid) merc. Deadpool then hired the reformed villain Taskmaster to help him take on Norman’s covert strike force, the Thunderbolts, and squeeze the cash out of Osborn. Not only did Deadpool and Taskmaster defeat the Thunderbolts, but by the end of the battle, Deadpool managed to steal Osborn’s gold card…and finally got paid! Well…at least enough to cover the money he owed Taskmaster. But Wade’s expecting a payday all his own and he’s not finished with Norman...not by a long shot… Unfortunately Osborn feels the same way about Deadpool and he’s just sent the unstoppable assassin Bullseye (now masquerading as the Avenger Hawkeye) to take Deadpool out once and for all. The ensuing fight didn’t go very well for Wade...

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

  • 13Th Age Archmage Engine, Or You Can Make Your Own
    Monsters You can use the monsters included in the 13th Age Archmage Engine, or you can make your own. Monster Rules Stats & Characteristics Most monster attacks generally deal a specific amount of damage (instead of rolling for damage) and don’t add on the escalation die. Only exceptional monsters get to add the escalation die to their attacks. Monsters may have particular abilities or powers that are triggered when the attack roll is greater than a certain threshold. The default trigger happens at a 16+ monster d20 attack roll, though unpredictable monsters may have effects trigger on other rolls. Mooks Mooks are weaker monsters that can be cut down in large numbers in a single turn. Damage is not tracked against single mooks, but against the entire mob of mooks you’re facing. If you roll damage against a mook and it is greater than the single mook’s hit points, then another mook takes the remainder. In this way, damage can cascade to multiple mooks, and a player can kill multiple in one turn, even if they’re not all directly within your attack range. A mook’s hit point value is one-fifth that of a regular monster. Mooks move and attack individually. Mooks deal a fixed damage when they hit, and double damage when they roll a natural 20. Mooks can be split up into multiple mobs with different initiative numbers and hit point pools for each. Large & Huge Monsters Large monsters generally have twice the hit points and deal roughly double the damage of a normal-sized monster.
