Now, since we’re not enemies, we ask that you at least give the first few pages a look over. Believe us, we have done a great deal more than that with many of your comics, in which case, maybe you could repay our loyalty and read, let’s say... ten pages? If after that attempt you put it aside we shall be sorry. For you! If the a bove seems flippant, please forgive us. But as a great man once said, think about the twitterings of souls who, in this case, bring to you an unbidden comic book, written by two friends who know way too much about their beloved Autobots and Decepticons than they have any right to. We ask that you remember your own such twitterings, and look upon our work as a gift of creative cohesion. A new take on the ever-growing, nostalgic-cravings of a generation now old enough to afford all the proverbial ‘cool toys’. As two long-term Transformers fans, we have seen the highs-and-lows of the franchise come and go.

  • Reading Narratives of Specular Mourning in Victorian Fiction
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Sydney eScholarship ‘Distempered Visions’: Reading Narratives of Specular Mourning in Victorian Fiction A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH BY SOPHIE FRAZER MARCH 2018 For the award of a PhD Department of English The University of Sydney 1 Abstract This thesis questions the phenomenological force and function of mourning in the fiction of Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot, bringing together models of contemporary visuality with modalities of loss, to emphasise a dialectic of affective pain as intimate vision. While Victorian visual culture has been substantially addressed by recent scholarship, there remains a paucity of investigation into what I read as an optic chiasmus of altered modes of seeing and modes of feeling. With a focus on two of the key novelists of the period, I have selected four novels that are fascinated by the nature of warped vision and blindness, questioning how literature might depict mourning in a world newly crowded by the visual. From this starting point, I examine the ways in which both novelists appropriated optical tropes to articulate the lived experience of a traumatised consciousness. The mourning subject becomes the site of specular, phantasmal inquiry in their works, and thus my own method follows the conditions of this connection. This particularised account of the themes of loss and mourning has not been significantly addressed in the scholarship, despite the fact that all four texts explicitly emphasise subjective trauma.

  • Withered Hope a Transformers: Transtech Story
    Transformers Timelines Presents: Withered Hope A Transformers: TransTech Story by S. Trent Troop & Greg Sepelak Illustration by Matt Kuphaldt Copyright 2008, The Transformers Collector’s Club Day 0 “Gentlemen… so to speak… I shan’t dance around the point. After two years of painstaking research, I have managed to find the source of the Cataclysm.” The white-haired old man gave a glance to his audience, a ragtag assembly of massive mechanical humanoids and normal human beings. The air was thick with uncertainty and nervousness. Toward the front stood a pair of unlikely companions, two towering mechanoids, the leaders of their factions. The human watched his long-time ally, a large red, blue and silver machine with a booming voice, clearly uncomfortable with the current peace treaty. Next to him was their hated enemy, a silver-gray and black machine, who stood with his arms folded across his broad chest, eyeing the human with a clear air of intense distrust. The end of one’s universe certainly makes for strange bedfellows, the human mused as he continued. “And it lies outside the boundaries of our universe.” “What are you talking about, doc-tor?” his robotic ally bellowed melodramatically. The human rolled his eyes. His ally could be quite the boor at times, or, more accurately, at all times. “What I am talking about, you self-aggrandizing heap of parts, is this.” The old man turned to the wall behind him and clicked a button on a small remote. The massive bank of computers sprang to life, multi-colored lights flashing rapidly, and projected a series of images onto a fifteen-foot wide screen.

Won 4 Primetime Emmys. Edit Cast Complete series cast summary: Lucille Ball Lucy Ricardo episodes, Desi Arnaz Ricky Ricardo episodes, Vivian Vance Ethel Mertz episodes, William Frawley Edit Did You Know? Trivia William Frawley , aka "Fred Mertz", had a well known and longtime issue with alcoholism. He was advised in the beginning of the series to stay sober, or be terminated. So, if you look closely, a majority of his scenes display his character having his hands deep in his pockets. This would therefore not show his hands trembling, due to his alcoholic withdrawals. Goofs The Ricardos are said to live in an apartment at East 68th Street, which in real life would be located in the East River. This is not actually a 'goof' because it was done deliberately to avoid legal issues with an actual address. Quotes Lucy Ricardo : How much do you want to bet? Fred Mertz : Ten dollars. Ethel Mertz : Well what's the matter with twenty dollars? Ricky Ricardo : What's the matter with thirty dollars? Lucy Ricardo : What's the matter with fifty dollars? Fred Mertz : What was the matter with ten dollars? Crazy Credits In some of the episodes, the guest-star's name s are voiced over, by conductor, Wilbur Hatch , in the Opening Credits or Closing Credits. Alternate Versions The famous opening credit sequence, where the names appear over a heart, was not a part of the original series run.

This was a mistake. No, it could not be. At least not one of his own making. How would that be possible? He was practically a god, one of the Thirteen…He played back the moments prior: he had the most vile Decepticons at his command, a galaxy at his mercy, and his hands were all but clasped on unlimited power… But then there it was, the one thing that could stop him. He shivered again. Broken, defeated, he found a fold, a seam in reality at the same moment the spear had torn through his skull and ripped through the workings underneath. It was a desper- ate escape… or as close to desperate as he had ever become. In his haste and weakened state, he had made a… Miscalculation. He had passed through the fold and tumbled far farther than he had ever intended. He was farther from the core than he had ever traveled. He could feel the essence of energy and existence changing around him. Polarities darted and twitched. It tickled. Static filled every sensation. His ultimate destination screamed into realization. His whole being shivered. Two years later… “Did you really think you’d get away?” Sephie Beller’s voice echoed down from the rooftop above the New Energy Resource Research and Development Laboratory campus. Emulator, she mentally corrected herself. If she was going to make this whole superhero thing work, she had to start thinking of herself as one.
