MISSION REPORT: A horde of shape-shifting fae called the Vridai invaded Midgard in the wake of the War of the Realms, kidnapping a seemingly random group of heroes and using their forms to steal a batch of deadly diseases. The Avengers caught the “rogue heroes,” and when Blade recognized the fae from a previous encounter, he took the lead, asking the other Avengers to steer clear. Knowledge of the Vridai is itself a poison, one he’s determined to keep from spreading. While tracking the fae to Indonesia, the heroes killed a Vridai version of Doctor Doom, leaving the team to wonder if the fae have managed to kidnap one of the greatest villains on the planet. But they soon had another problem: Blade accidentally killed Daimon Hellstrom, believing he’d been replaced by a Vridai! The group found and killed the fake and brought the real Daimon to his sister Satana, who called in a few necromantic favors to revive him. But in the process, Wiccan was stolen away by Birgit, right hand to the fae ruler Count Ophidian. And Wiccan’s Vridai replacement just showed up at his home in New York— where his unsuspecting fi ancé Hulkling awaits! © 2019 MARVEL No similarity between any of the Published Monthly by MARVEL WORLDWIDE, INC., a subsidiary of MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT, LLC.

His first act as Emperor was to order their combined forces to Earth to defeat their mutual enemy, the plantlike race known as the Cotati. Led by Quoi, the prophesied Celestial Messiah, and his father, the Swordsman, the Cotati plan to eliminate all animal life --starting with Earth. The united members of the Avengers and Fantastic Four have been defending the planet from the invading Cotati but were unable to stop them from planting the seeds for the Death Blossom. Once it blooms, the Cotati will have control of all plant life in the galaxy. Captain Marvel and the Human Torch teamed up with former Young Avenger Wiccan, who revealed he and Hulkling had recently married. He also exposed Emperor Hulking as R’Klll, the former Skrull empress, in disguise. But while Wiccan and his allies freed the true Hulkling from captivity, they were too late to stop R’Klll from activating the Pyre, a weapon that will end the threat of the Cotati forever--by detonating Earth’s sun! story Al Ewing & Dan Slott script Al Ewing artist Valerio Schiti color artist Marte Gracia letterer VC’s Joe Caramagna cover Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos variant covers Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos; Michael Cho; John Tyler Christopher; Tony Daniel & Frank D’Armata; Alexander Lozano & Wade von Grawbadger; Mike McKone & Morry Hollowell; Mike Mignola graphic designer Carlos Lao assistant editor Martin Biro associate editor Alanna Smith editor Tom Brevoort editor in chief C.B.

FROM 'AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUOS' TO HOMOSEXUAL SUPERHEROES: THE IMPLICATIONS FOR MEDIA FANDOM PRACTICES A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Screen and Media At The University of Waikato By GEMMA CORIN The University of Waikato 2008 Abstract Despite traversing the fine line between homosocial and homosexual (Brooker, 2000) in his controversial text Seduction of the Innocent, Fredric Wertham’s (1954) description of Batman and Robin as a ‘wish dream of two homosexuals living together’ (Lendrum, 2004, p.70) represents one of the first published queer readings of superhero characters. This text can also be interpreted as the commencement of, and subsequent intense interest in the way superhero characters often portray a ‘camp’ sensibility (Medhurst, 1991) representative of a queer performative identity (Butler, 1993).

Deadpool's Unlikely TeammatesBy S. H. WellsCollecting: Deadpool Team-Up (1998) #1----- Deadpool Team-Up (2010) #899-883Bonus: 8-page sketch galleryThis collection follows Deadpool Classic Volume 12: Deadpool Corps in the ongoing reprint series that is quickly becoming a comprehensive retrospective of every Deadpool solo adventure, ever. The comics collected here included the two "Team-Up" series. The longer running Team-Up began in November 2009 with issue #899 and counted down each month.The opening adventure teams Deadpool with Hercules as they work their way through a Murderworld Labyrinth. Other notable one- time teammates include Ghost Rider, Captain Britain, Satana (daughter of Satan), Gorilla Man, Thing, Thor, Iron Fist, The Watcher, and Galactus! Deadpool's teammates are usually reluctant at best. Each issue in the series is authored by a different writer; the credits include some comic luminaries like Cullen Bunn (#888) and Skottie Young (#883) who are personal favorites of mine.For readers looking to collect "critical" stories that include continuity-changing events, then this is not the collection to get.

  • Bodies in Transition. Queering the Comic Book Superhero
    QUEER(ING) POPULAR CULTURE BODIES IN TRANSITION Queering the Comic Book Superhero BY DANIEL STEIN ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the comic book superhero as a popular figure whose queer- ness follows as much from the logic of the comics medium and the aesthetic prin- ciples of the genre as it does from a dialectic tension between historically evolving heteronormative and queer readings. Focusing specifically on the superbody as an overdetermined site of gendered significances, the essay traces a shift from the ostensibly straight iterations in the early years of the genre to the more recent appearance of openly queer characters. It further suggests that the struggle over the superbody’s sexual orientation and gender identity has been an essential force in the development of the genre from its inception until the present day. The comic book superhero has been a figure of the popular imagination for eight decades, if we count Superman’s appearance in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) as the beginning of the genre. Almost as old as the genre itself are associations of the superhero with what the American amateur psychologist Gershon Legman de- scribed as »an undercurrent of homosexuality and sado-masochism«1 in his book Love and Death (1949). These associations became part of the broader public dis- course when the German-born psychiatrist Frederic Wertham expanded on them in Seduction of the Innocent (1954), a flawed but popular study of the effects of comic-book reading on juveniles that played into the climate of sexual anxieties at the height of the so-called comics scare.
