Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

Mar 14, Holden Attradies rated it liked it Shelves: fiction , sequential-art , super-heroes. At times I love the interconnected Marvel Universe and how stories and characters jump between titles. At other times I hate it. I think that mostly I hate it when I'm not familiar with what characters were doing in titles I haven't read, especially when I don't even know what titles those were. This was one of those times. I have a big feeling that once I go back and re-read Thunderbolts, in order, and make sure I fill in any missing volumes I'll enjoy this one quite a bit. I had mixed feelings At times I love the interconnected Marvel Universe and how stories and characters jump between titles. I had mixed feelings over how the comic was following three different stories, even if they were interconnected. It was nice though, that at the end, it felt like the three stories were for the most part wrapped up in a manner that the story could continue and start fresh. And lastly, I have to admit I tear up a little at the end during Songbird and Gunna's reunion. Seeing these two kick ass female characters who recently have been portrait as very emotionless during the recent history of the series open up and show emotion that leaves them open and exposed in some manners was very humanizing.
