She has been a villain and a spy, a symbol of the Cold War and of the triumph of democracy, a love interest and a superhero. It took over 40 years for her to merit her own ongoing title, and over 50 for one to last longer than a year! She was unique not only as a female villain but as a non-costumed antagonist to start in an era where mutants, machines, and Asgardian gods were dominating the villain line-ups. She followed in their footsteps to appear regularly in The Avengers beginning with 29 inthough she was not recognized as a member until in Black Widow continued to serve as a female sidekick or team member for another three decades, notably in Daredevil, Captain America,The Avengers, and The Champions. Still, she was a supporting player even as she was voted a full-time member of the Avengers in in From there she finally had her first series of headline releases, albeit as one-shot graphic novels rather than ongoing series. She still was not considered a core Avenger enough inwhen she did not join her teammates in the Heroes Reborn universe. She was finally granted her own ongoing series that same year. Since every year features Black Widow in more stories and starring turns than the one before. At the same time, she launched another solo series drawn by fan and critical favorite Phil Noto.

    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

  • The Silver Surfer Story/Outline
    THE SILVER SURFER STORY/OUTLINE DRAFT 1 “BATTLECRY” WRITTEN BY LARRY BRODY TEASER 1. EXT. THE SOUL MASTER DIMENSION. A scene we’ve witnessed before—but a more pleasant version this time. It’s the SILVER SURFER, SHALLA BAL, and the VIRAL OVERMIND, working together to save Zenn-La and the rest of the planets in this dimension. Except that this time Shalla Bal is not left behind. Instead, she makes it through just in time, rushing into the Silver Surfer’s arms! The Surfer starts to kiss her, and now Shalla Bal vanishes, only her voice remaining, crying out that she is in a dark, frightening place, and begging for the Surfer’s help in getting her out. 2. EXT. SPACE NEAR ZENN-LA. The Surfer soars all around, searching—and awakens to discover that he is flying upward from the now safe Zenn-La…and that everything that just happened was a dream. Yet even now he hears Shalla 2 Bal calling to him, her voice fading out only after the dream has ended. 3. As the Surfer ponders this, he realizes that he is hearing another distress call through a COM BEAM. It’s the leader of a group of REFUGEES, fleeing from a planet that has just fallen to the KREE EMPIRE, and asking for a safe haven. Right behind the Refugees is a KREE FLEET, and the pursuers begin FIRING THEIR ENERGY WEAPONS, hitting not only the Refugees but the Silver Surfer as well! He’s hit again and again in rapid succession, reeling weakly to one knee, as we FADE OUT.

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2016 Don’t Point that Gun at My Mum: Geriatric Zombies Gerry Canavan Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Don't Point that Gun at My Mum: Geriatric Zombies" in The Walking Med. Eds. Lorenzo Servitje and Sherryl Vint. University Park PA: Penn State University Press, 2016. Publisher link. © 2016 Penn State University Press. Used with permission. Some images have been removed from this version of the chapter due to third-party copyright restrictions. 1 • DON'T POINT THAT GUN AT MY MUM Geriatric Zombies Gerry Canavan Academic analyses of zombie narratives have tended to read these stories as genocidal fantasies of unrestricted violence against monstrous Others with whom no sympathy is possible and who, as a result, can be murdered without guilt. The typical critical move, that is, has been to read such stories meta­ phorically, as murderous ideation against the raced, classed, and colonized subjects whose extermination is no longer wished for openly but whose dif­ ference is still _perceived as a dire threat to white middle-class subjectivity in the industrialized West. 1 This is true even of more politically utopian readings of zombie narrative, such as Sarah Juliet Lauro and Karen Embry's widely cited ''A Zombie Manifesto" (2oo8), which accedes to the basic terms of the violence but chooses instead to take the zombies' side, identifying their bru­ tal destruction of the existing order as a sideways vision of a longed-for revolution. Novels, films, and video games may nominally be about fantastic encounters with zombies (or robots, or orcs, or alien invaders, or sentient apes), the argument goes, but on the more abstract level of ideology they are actually about reproducing and/or critically reexamining cultural narratives about who in real-world society is "killable" and who is not.

  • Representations of Race in Graphic Novels for Young Adults
    Volume 21, 2018 Approved February 19, 2018 ISSN: 2165-1019 www.ala.org/aasl/slr Drawing Diversity: Representations of Race in Graphic Novels for Young Adults Robin A. Moeller, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Library Science, Appalachian State University Kim Becnel, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Library Science, Appalachian State University Abstract In light of the recent focus on diversity in books for youth as exemplified by movements such as “We Need Diverse Books” and “Reading Without Walls,” the authors sought to understand how race is depicted in graphic novels for teens. A textual analysis was conducted on a sample of books from the Young Adult Library Services Association’s 2015 “Great Graphic Novels for Teens” booklist to answer the questions: How many people of color are depicted in the sample of graphic novels? How are people of color characterized as main character, supporting character, or background characters? What are the races of the authors and illustrators of these graphic novels? Analysis of the data suggests a higher-than-expected number of characters who are people of color are depicted in this sample of graphic novels, and that those characters often play central or significant supporting roles. The researchers also found that this sample of graphic novels was, for the most part, produced by white authors and illustrators. Introduction Background Each year the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) in Wisconsin publishes a set of statistics that reflect the number of books received the previous year that were written by and about individuals who are people of color. (According to the FAQ page (n.d.) at the CCBC website, most large trade book publishers in the U.S.
