Didn't like anything about this. Gave it to my brother-in-law for his birthday on the advice of a comic book shop owner and he read it and gave it back to me, with a shrug. This is indiscriminate ultra violence, terrible story, bad art. But it's not funny to me, it's just bad writing. I almost was ready to give it two stars for the art be Didn't like anything about this. I almost was ready to give it two stars for the art because I thought there might have been a touch of Ralph Deadpool Max: Nutjob in here Hunter Thompson connection, who was also an insane guy, but was making actual useful political commentary but I ultimately decided that this was just Deadpool Max: Nutjob insane for the sake of being insane and I didn't like it. Correct me if I'm wrong and this really IS Ralph Steadman-ish and it has deep significance to understanding society. Lapham says insane characters are his favorite kind, and that reminded me of what an actor once told me: insane is easy to play, and always fascinating for audiences to see. I think sane is harder to play, actually. Many comics writers tend to the insane as a kind of reaction to the "sane" world, I suppose: Joker and Batman are both crazy in their own ways because of things that happen in the world. But crazy for crazy's sake? I had heard Deadpool was funny and so before posting this quick review saw from other reviewers that one problem in this version of Deadpool is that it is told from the perspective of Bob instead of Deadppol, and Bob doesn't really get Deadpool, so that's a loss. I dunno. But it fell flat for me. Not funny. Feb 04, Aryn rated it it was ok Shelves: owngraphic-novelfiction. I've read a handful of Deadpool comics, Deadpool Max: Nutjob this just didn't stock up against the other ones. It simply wasn't as funny as it should have been. In the comic book store where I bought this, I was flipping through the issues of the new story arc and they had me rolling. Come on, his nemesis this time around is bringing presidents back from the dead to fight him. There is nothing funnier than Deadpool punching Abe Lincoln in the face. Sorry man, you know I have the greatest respect for you. This De I've read a handful of Deadpool comics, and this just didn't stock up against the other ones. This Deadpool, because the main perspective was Bob, his handler, lost Deadpool Max: Nutjob lot of the Deadpool charm. Yes it was vulgar Deadpool Max: Nutjob silly, but seeing Deadpool through the eyes Deadpool Max: Nutjob someone who can't understand him is a little annoying.

  • The Motivational Mind of Magneto: Towards Jungian Discourse Analysis
    Page 1 of 30 The motivational mind of Magneto: towards Jungian discourse analysis Jacquelyn Seerattan-Waldrom Supervised by: Dr Geoff Bunn April 2016 Page 2 of 30 The motivational mind of Magneto: towards Jungian discourse analysis ABSTRACT Discourse analysis has been a prominent area of psychology for 25 years. It traditionally focuses on society’s influence on the world through the rhetoric (implicit persuasion) and symbolism, dealing with important psychological areas such as ‘identity’ and many social justice issues. Graphic novel analyses is also increasingly more common. Social justice issues are especially prominent in analysis: particularly in X- Men, through metaphors of ‘oppression’, ‘sexuality and identity’ (Zullo, 2015). Psycho-discursive analysis focuses on the 'subject' neglected in traditional discourse analysis, which has been provided recent attention. A Freudian and Jungian psycho-discursive analysis of DC comic character, 'Batman' has been studied regarding motivation and psyche (Langley, 2012). However, ‘reflexivity’ in Freudian psycho-discursive analysis is a known problem that previous psycho-discursive analyses have been unable to tackle effectively. Therefore, this study proposed a step towards Jungian psycho-discursive analysis adapted from personality and motivation theory, ‘Psychological Types’ (1971) and theoretical expansions by Myers and Myers (1995). It was applied to fictional representations of psyche within the X-Men comic character, ‘Magneto’, due to fictional inspirations which commonly form Jungian theory. Magneto was interpreted as the type, ‘INTJ’, and future implications of further applications to psyche are discussed. KEY PSYCHO- JUNGIAN PERSONALITY X-MEN GRAPHIC DISCURSIVE PSYCHOLOGY NOVEL WORDS: ANALYSIS ANALYSIS Page 3 of 30 Background Discourse analysis For 25 years discourse analysis has been a prominent area of psychology (Stokoe, Hepburn & Antaki, 2012).

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader 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 May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

    MARVEL COMICS PROUDLY PRESENTS… Long ago, Greg Salinger was the Foolkiller, a vigilante targeting perpetrators of foolish crimes. He was one of Deadpool’s Mercs for Money, but left to try a normal life as a S.H.I.E.L.D. psychologist, treating former costumed criminals. He had an apartment, a girlfriend, a trusted boss, but couldn’t psychoanalyze so many fools without killing a few. While Greg wrestled with guilt, Kurt Gerhardt, the maniac who took on the Foolkiller mantle when Greg was inactive, began sabotaging Greg’s new life. He revealed Greg’s girlfriend was once involved in a foolish crime, then confronted Greg in his office with the information that his boss was using him as an unwilling hit man.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

Punisher Vol. Product details Format Paperback pages Dimensions x x Great few series of Punisher but not a big fan of the last one. Please enter a valid email address. Following upon the events in Long Cold Dark , this arc pulls in all the loose plot threads and subplots of Ennis' entire run including the Born mini series, which opened the first of these complete collections , and delivers in an absolutely stunning way. And the only good thing I can say about it is that the great Richard Corben draws it. Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'. Another very clear five stars piece to close this truly epic run. There's a good sense of bookends here that marks the end of Ennis' work on the character, I'm interested in seeing where future collections will go following his departure. I loved that he was former special forces and did a few tours in Vietnam. Whatever though I n the waning days of the Vietnam War Learn More. Less a Punisher story and more the author writing out his frustration about how a few rich a-holes control too much of the world.

  • Jack Kirby Influence Paper-2
    Magi Hossameldin Professor Thelma Bauer Digital Media Foundations- D304 8:00 - 11:20AM Class December, 18th 2018 Jack Kirby-The Real Unknown Hero ​ Often praised as the “King of Comics”, Jack Kirby has influenced generations of comic book artists and writers alike. Not only a talented comic book artist, he was also a great storyteller, which is considered to be responsible for his success and longevity. Kirby’s influence can still be seen in any modern superhero comics, and even on the big screen. Kirby is responsible for creating many iconic and beloved comic book characters. Jack Kirby was born as Jacob Kurtzberg on August 28, 1917, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. From and early childhood, Kirby aspired to be a storyteller, having being influenced by the stories his mother told him, and the stories in the newspaper comics and in the movie theaters. As a self-taught artist, he started drawing cartoons for the newspaper of the Boys Brotherhood Republic. By the age of 14, he was enrolled in Pratt Institute, but dropped out the afternoon of his first day due to financial pressures. He worked at various studios before starting his career as a super-hero comic book artist. Kirby didn’t begin his career in comics but in the animated cartoons, namely Popeye cartoons at the Max Fleischer studios. He began working at Lincoln Newspaper Syndicate as a political, gag, and strip cartoonist. Through work, he met Joe Simon, and formed a team. In 1940, they were hired by Timely Comics Company, which is known in the present as Marvel Comics.

  • Schrödinger's Cape: the Quantum Seriality of the Marvel Multiverse William Proctor, University of Bournemouth, UK. on The
    Schrödinger’s Cape: The Quantum Seriality of the Marvel Multiverse William Proctor, University of Bournemouth, UK. On the surface, quantum physics and narrative theory are not easy bedfellows. In fact, some may argue that the two fields are incommensurable paradigms and any attempt to prove otherwise would be a foolhardy endeavour, more akin to intellectual trickery and sleight-of- hand than a prism with which to view narrative systems. Yet I find myself repeatedly confronted by these two ostensibly incompatible theories converging as I explore the vast narrative networks associated with fictional world-building -- most notably those belonging to comic book multiverses of Marvel and DC Comics which, Nick Lowe argues “are the largest narrative constructions in human history (exceeding, for example, the vast body of myth, legend and story that underlies Greek and Latin literature)” (Kaveney, 25). Contemporary quantum theory postulates that the universe is not a singular body progressing linearly along a unidirectional spatiotemporal pathway – as exponents of the Newtonian classic physics model believe – but, rather, a multiverse comprised of alternate worlds, parallel dimensions and multiple timelines. Both Marvel and bête noire DC Comics embrace the multiverse concept that allows multiple iterations, versions and reinterpretations of their character populations to co-exist within a spatiotemporal framing principle that shares remarkable commonalities with the quantum model. Where Marvel and DC deviate from one another, however, is that the latter utilises the conceit as an intra-medial model for its panoply of comic books; whereas, conversely, the Marvel multiverse functions as a transmedia firmament that encapsulates an entire catalogue within its narrative rubric, a strategy that is analogous with the quantum paradigm.
