While in self-quarantine in deep space, Amadeus responded to a distress signal from Sakaar, a planet Bruce Banner’s Hulk once freed from tyranny. Now a new terror dominates the globe: the Warlord of Fillia, who systematically crushed and enslaved the planet’s nomadic clans. As the champion of the Doka’abi, the last remaining free clan, Amadeus must compete in the Warlord’s barbaric Gauntlet to win their freedom.

BREAKING Newsrockville, MD August 19, 2019
MEDIA KIT BREAKING NEWS Rockville, MD August 19, 2019 THE BOYS by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson Coming to GraphicAudio® A Movie in Your Mind® in Early 2020 GraphicAudio® is thrilled to announce a just inked deal with DYNAMITE COMICS to produce and publish all 6 Omnibus Volumes of THE BOYS directly from the comics and scripted and produced in their unique audio entertainment format. The creative team at GraphicAudio® plans to make the adaptations as faithful as possible to the Graphic Novel series. The series is set between 2006–2008 in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the su- perheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. The story follows a small clandestine CIA squad, informally known as "The Boys", led by Butcher and also consisting of Mother's Milk, the French- man, the Female, and new addition "Wee" Hughie Campbell, who are charged with monitoring the superhero community, often leading to gruesome confrontations and dreadful results; in parallel, a key subplot follows Annie "Starlight" January, a young and naive superhero who joins the Seven, the most prestigious– and corrupted – superhero group in the world and The Boys' most powerful enemies. Amazon Prime released THE BOYS Season 1 last month. Joseph Rybandt, Executive Editor of Dynamite and Editor of The Boys says, “While I did not grow up anywhere near the Golden Age of Radio, I have loved the medium of radio and audio dramas almost my entire life. Podcasts make my commute bearable to this day.

Sold into slavery, Hulk becomes the Green Scar, the planets mightiest gladiator - but his new masters get more than they bargained for when he forges a bond of brotherhood with his fellow fighters: crafty insectoid Miek, the horrific Brood, wise rock-man Korg, Shadow Warrior Hiroim, noble-born rebel Elloe and her loyal guardsman Skee. Together, these gladiators start a revolution that could change their entire world - or destroy it. Its a savage sci-fi fantasy by award-winning writer Greg Pak, guest-starring the Silver Surfer! After reading the story arc of Planet Hulk in the comics, I was excited to read Greg Paks novelization of it. To put it short I found this adaptation to be similar enough with additional details to be faithful and even more informative than the comics themselves. I do say though, if you want the true story of Planet Hulk; please pick up the Planet Hulk Omnibus that collects all the comics in the story arc.

Females and Feminism Reclaim the Mainstream: New Superheroines in Marvel Comics
FEMALES AND FEMINISM RECLAIM THE MAINSTREAM: NEW SUPERHEROINES IN MARVEL COMICS By Sara Marie Kern A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University December 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. Martha Hixon, Chair Dr. David Lavery I dedicate this research to real-life superheroines like my great-grandmother, who risked her reputation to educate women about their bodies. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe an immense debt to my family for supporting me in the pursuit of this degree, which at times seemed unachievable. Their unwavering emotional support and willingness to sacrifice for my benefit was at times overwhelming, and their generosity truly made this dream possible. I am likewise indebted to Dr. Martha Hixon and Dr. David Lavery, who encouraged me to push forward after a year-long furlough; Dr. Hixon’s consistent enthusiasm for my topic—and then my second topic—sustained me when the work was daunting. Finally I would like to thank the other contributors without whom this research would not exist: the creative teams for Thor, Ms. Marvel¸ and Storm; the librarians at the James E. Walker, UC Berkeley, and Berkeley Public libraries; and David Pemberton, who brought me back to Marvel, and helped to keep me sane. Note: the images reproduced in this thesis appear under the Fair Use agreement, and all copyrights remain with DC, Marvel Comics, and Avatar Press. I owe special thanks to these publications for their cooperation. iii ABSTRACT Representations of females in visual media continue to be problematic. As media studies increasingly reveals the influence of visual representation upon our internalized ideologies, the significance of positive female representation only increases.
