  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths

    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.

    One Thousand Years Ago, Superstition and the Sword Ruled. It Was a Time of Darkness

    One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of gargoyles. [Insert epic music] Stone by day, warriors by night. We travel the worlds that are and might not be. Now here in Manhattan … The light of the sun did not dramatically set with the last vestiges reaching out in defiance. The light just darkened behind the clouds as a light rain started. But even in the year of alternate reality 1994 the lights of the New York night life shown bright. Bright enough to see by. High atop a privately owned skyscraper a set of large humanoid statues cracked and shuttered. Shards of stone shrapnel flew in all directions. And so it was that the group of travelers awoke and Wanderer landed flat on his face. The … only thing that saved him from falling off the building was the fact that he was in the middle of a large patio. “My legs! What happened to my legs?!” Then he saw his hands. “What the fuck!” That was when Wanderer’s tail and wings started to spasm wildly. All of his senses were heightened. He now had new appendages and no idea of where he was. Someone moved nearby. No, something moved with a familiar aura. Red clawed feet appeared in his sight. Then the clawed hands reached out to roll him over. “Quit being such a drama queen. Your legs are just fine. You’re not human now. You’re a gargoyle. “Tanny,” she wore a warm smile as her eyes tried to memorize his face, “Why are you naked?” That was just before Tanthia moved even closer to get a good, long sniff of him.

    Gender Roles & Occupations

    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.

  • Loki Production Brief

    Loki Production Brief

    PRODUCTION BRIEF “I am Loki, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.” —Loki arvel Studios’ “Loki,” an original live-action series created exclusively for Disney+, features the mercurial God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow. The series, described as a crime-thriller meets epic-adventure, takes place after the events Mof “Avengers: Endgame.” “‘Loki’ is intriguingly different with a bold creative swing,” says Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. “This series breaks new ground for the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it, and lays the groundwork for things to come.” The starting point of the series is the moment in “Avengers: Endgame” when the 2012 Loki takes the Tesseract—from there Loki lands in the hands of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which is outside of the timeline, concurrent to the current day Marvel Cinematic Universe. In his cross-timeline journey, Loki finds himself a fish out of water as he tries to navigate—and manipulate—his way through the bureaucratic nightmare that is the Time Variance Authority and its by-the-numbers mentality. This is Loki as you have never seen him. Stripped of his self- proclaimed majesty but with his ego still intact, Loki faces consequences he never thought could happen to such a supreme being as himself. In that, there is a lot of humor as he is taken down a few pegs and struggles to find his footing in the unforgiving bureaucracy of the Time Variance Authority. As the series progresses, we see different sides of Loki as he is drawn into helping to solve a serious crime with an agent 1 of the TVA, Mobius, who needs his “unique Loki perspective” to locate the culprits and mend the timeline.

    Gargoyles: Chapter 2: All Things Come in Their Time One Thousand Years Ago, Superstition and the Sword Ruled. It Was a Time of D

    Gargoyles: Chapter 2: All Things Come In Their Time One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of gargoyles. [Insert epic music] Stone by day, warriors by night. We travel the worlds that are and might not be. Now here in Norway … In a cave someplace in the Norwegian highlands the main crew went about their work. The sun had risen just maybe half an hour ago so the clan was asleep. As for them, they walked about in their human forms to avoid the stone inducing sleep. Soft balls of magical light drifted around the ceiling to light their way. Yet the greatest source of light came from the open warehouse portal. As it was the “puppy” that had hatched from that egg ran around sniffing everything it could. After they discovered that the crustal necklace prevented stone hibernation Wanderer had fashioned it into a collar for the dog. It looked like the cross breeding of a dragon that banged a pit-bull. Its skin was sort of that turquoise color you get after copper sits in the rain for decades. While its head sported a small nub that would one day grow into a nose horn and a crest lined with tiny nubs to protect its neck. Staring at the gargbeast Wanderer could see a type of carnivorous, mono-horned, rhino-triceratops thing going on. Although, he still didn’t know if this thing was a boy or a girl. But anyway, Wanderer pulled it off of another gargbeast statute.

INTRODUCTION In 1983, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, two aspiring illustrators, were sitting in their Massachusetts apartment when Eastman came up with some sketches of turtles with nunchakus.1 After looking at Eastman's drawings, Laird said, "We'll call them Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."2 With that statement, the concept for the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic book was born. 3 Eastman and Laird began self-publishing4 their creation in 1984.' Since then, the pizza-eating terrapins have gone on to generate a billion dollars in film, television and licensing revenues.6 Success stories such as Eastman and Laird's are rare, but even that slim chance may be denied comic book artists if a tax is imposed on original comic book pages by the California State Board of Equalization (BOE).

    Ownership Concentration in the U.S. Comic Book Industry

    From McAllister, M.P., Sewell, Jr., E. H., & Gordon, I. (2001). Comics and Ideology. NY: Peter Lang. @2001 Peter Lang. Chapter 2 Ownership Concentration in the U.S. Comic Book Industry Matthew P. McAllister In the May 24, 1998 issue of The New York Times, there appeared a 3,200-word essay about the Marvel Entertainment Group, for years the dominant publisher in the comic book industry (Bryant, 1998). The illustration that accompanied the story was a drawing of two angry figures slugging it out in a fierce battle royale. However, this article did not appear in the entertainment section, the arts section, or even the book section. It appeared in the business section. The article was not about the hottest titles, characters or artists, but instead about stock values, junk bonds, and corporate assets. And the two figures pummeling each other were not fictional superheroes, but rather cari- catures of two Wall Street moguls, Ronald Perelman and Carl Icahn. In fact, the news article focused specifically on the dire nature of the comic book market and the struggle for control over Marvel, the industry leader, that took place between these two financial tycoons. This article joined a series of news reports from 1996 through 1998 that appeared in other business venues like The Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Financial Times of London. Such articles collectively presented a troubled image of the economic and industrial dynamics of the comic book industry in the late 1990s. This chapter will focus on these dynamics from the perspective of political economy, arguing that the comic book industry is characterized by increased conglomeration and ownership concentration.
