Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman Free FREE FLASHPOINT: WORLD OF FLASHPOINT SUPERMAN PDF Rags Morales,Mike Carlin | 256 pages | 20 Mar 2012 | DC Comics | 9781401234348 | English | New York, NY, United States Flashpoint (comics) - Wikipedia Overall : This collection puts together a series of stories that are all pretty good but not great. The narrative in each arc is compelling and there are a few solid moments here and there. However, each arc also has flaws that slightly weaken them. This makes this volume easier to recommend for serious fans of Superman, Traci 13, or Booster Gold but harder to recommend to fans just looking for good comics. Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint Featuring Superman collects a series of pretty average story arcs. However, it also does Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman have stories that are downright bad or that are completely uninteresting. In fact, if you truly care about the main character of a story, there are often moments that are truly interesting or exciting. In this way, the collection will most directly appeal to fans of the characters this volume focuses on, including Superman, Traci 13, or Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman Gold. The story is sweet, meaningful, and easily the most compelling story of this collection. The only problem is that the connection between Superman and Lois Lane is a bit weird and leads to a conclusion that even the text admits is corny. The next story arc, written by Rex Ogle, follows Traci 13 as she tries to prevent her father from killing millions of people in order to bring an end to the war between Atlantis and the Amazons. It is an emotional battle between father and daughter that touches on interesting topics regarding the efficacy of war and the viability of overwhelming force. For the most part, this tie-in is successful. Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman, The World of Flashpoint Fea turing Superman tells a quick story about the origins of a character briefly seen in the main Flashpoint event. The origin story is moderately interesting and slightly expands the overall narrative of this event. The artwork in The World of Flashpoint Featuring Superman trends positive throughout the entire volume. They look great and are laid out in a way that reflects the tone of the reading experience, shifting from more structured to more chaotic layouts depending on the nature of the story. In general, the artwork in this volume is pleasing and helps enhance the Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman experience. Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint Featuring Superman is a collection of separate tie-in comics relating back to the main Flashpoint Review event series. All DC Event Reviews.

I mean, you still kind of need to read that one to understand what's happened in the FP Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman, but I thought the writing was just more interesting for Superman's story.

Booster and I love Booster had a somewhat duller storyline than I thought he would, but it was still fun to see him show up for this. I'm just going to let this one hang there Overall, pretty good volume if you are interested in the Flashpoint stuff. View all 11 comments. Jun 14, Danielle The Book Huntress Back to the Books rated it really liked it Shelves: cover-to-cover-challengealternate-dimension-or-worlddangerous-hero- challengelibrary-checkoutchallenge-factory-challengesuperheroesdc-comicsalternate-historyaction-adventure-challenge. I wasn't expecting much from this volume, but the Superman story was quite innovative, with a narrative angle I wasn't expecting at all. It's really kind of a scary what if about Superman's origins. He is not the man Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman know but that doesn't mean he doesn't come into his own as much as he's able. I liked the theme of villainy not necessarily starting from a place of pure evil or self-interest. To my mind, some of the worst villains are true believers or fundamentalists. Their intense belief in t I wasn't expecting much from this volume, but the Superman story was quite innovative, with a narrative angle I wasn't expecting at all. Their intense Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman in their cause can lead to committing atrocious acts in the course of the mission. In this case, it makes for a disturbing story. I really loved Lois Lane. Normally, I'm not a fan, but the Flashpoint situation seems to bring out the best in her character. The Booster Gold story was interesting, and I think it shows him as heroic in ways I haven't previously encountered. In other words, he doesn't come off as inept and fixated Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman looking heroic. He has to deal with well-meaning military who decide to harness Doomsday as a weapon, but fail Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman realize that he cannot be controlled. It wasn't the strongest volume here, but it was pretty good. Traci 13 is not a character I'm familiar with, but this story was very good. Traci finds herself in an adversarial relationship with her father, who both want to save the world, but in vastly different ways. Very intense look at how grief can tear a family apart. Closest to horror in this volume out of the stories. A bunch of antiheroes have become guerilla warriors for the cause of England, including Cantubury Cricket, who has a very checkered past. I liked it, but it ended a bit too abruptly for my tastes. Overall a very good volume of this series. Sep 25, Jesse A rated it really liked it Shelves: the-keeping-stackgraphic-novels. A much better Flashpoint companion book. Well done. Even has a solid Booster Gold story so bonus half star. Mar 05, John Yelverton rated it did not like it. An absolutely awful and pathetic excuse for a Superman story. Jul 17, Gary Butler rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. Number out of on my all time book list. Very cool. Project Superman - 3. Booster Gold - 2. The Canterbury Cricket - 1. Completely unnecessary. Average Rating - 2. Apr 24, Chris Lemmerman rated it it was ok Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. The plot doesn't focus on Superman at all until the final issue, instead having the Flashpoint version of Apollo as the point of view character, and whilst it does fill in some gaps in the main Flashpoint series like where Superman flies off to once he escapes from Project: Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman, it really isn't that rivetting a story. Add to that some very messy art from the usually infallable Gene Ha, and this just didn't hit many good notes with me. Shame, since Snyder is usually very reliable. World of Flashpoint, by Rex Ogle and Eduardo Francisco is next and thankfully it turns out a better story than the previous mini-series. Focusing on Traci as she travels around the world in order to try and stop her father from destroying million people, this mini-series is a great glimpse at a few fan favourite characters and gives a more rounded view of the Flashpoint world as a whole. FLASHPOINT: THE WORLD OF FLASHPOINT FEATURING SUPERMAN | DC Is it me or do these Flashpoint collections seem pretty random? Why isn't the Cricket in the same collection as his own team Lois Lane and the Resistance Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman example? Yeah, to me it would have made more sense to collect Lois Lane and the Resistance in this volume instead of the Wonder Woman one, even though it was written by the DnA duo and the Amazons figure heavily in it.

    Not For Kids Only: A History of Surveillance Through Comic Book Images Gary T. Marx I am here to fight for truth, justice and the American way. —Superman 1978 It's too bad for us "literary" enthusiasts, but it's the truth nevertheless—pictures tell any story more effectively than words. —W. M. Moulton (creator of Wonder Woman, and pioneer polygrapher) In Guernica Picasso expresses the tragedy that is taking place without showing piles of bloody flesh. The import- tant thing in art is after all to transpose reality into an image which is sufficiently enthralling and meaningful so that the viewer gets an even better grasp of that reality. —Jacques Ellul1 Gary T.

  • 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.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

It is led by the supervillain Thaal Sinestro. The Sinestro Corps first appears in Green Lantern vol. Sinestro: Vol.4: Fall of Sinestro Parallax entity is a space parasite that is the embodiment of fear that was imprisoned within the Central Power Battery on Oa. As time passed, the entity became known as the yellow impurity, the cause for the power rings' weakness to the color yellow. Thaal Sinestro, at the time Sinestro: Vol.4: Fall of Sinestro universe's greatest Green Lantern, was sent to Earth by Supernova in a plot to erase Guy Gardner from history. Booster Gold was assigned to prevent this from happening. To do so, he convinced Sinestro to leave Earth, claiming that he was an admirer from the future, and that his yellow Legion of Super-Heroes flight ring was a tribute to Sinestro. When asked what Corps he belongs to, Booster ad- libbed, "The Sinestro Corps", leading Sinestro to twirl his mustache in thought while mumbling, "Of course Of course. After Sinestro went rogue, he was banished by the Guardians of the Universe to Qward in the antimatter universe. When he returned, he wielded a power ring which used yellow energy. There he was able to use his ring, which uses fear, as opposed to willpower, as a power source, to awaken Parallax from hibernation.

    JUSTICE LEAGUE: ORIGINS Written by Chad Handley [email protected] EXT. PARK - DAY An idyllic American park from our Rockwellian past. A pick- up truck pulls up onto a nearby gravel lot. INT. PICK-UP TRUCK - DAY MARTHA KENT (30s) stalls the engine. Her young son, CLARK, (7) apprehensively peeks out at the park from just under the window. MARTHA KENT Go on, Clark. Scoot. CLARK Can’t I go with you? MARTHA KENT No, you may not. A woman is entitled to shop on her own once in a blue moon. And it’s high time you made friends your own age. Clark watches a group of bigger, rowdier boys play baseball on a diamond in the park. CLARK They won’t like me. MARTHA KENT How will you know unless you try? Go on. I’ll be back before you know it. EXT. PARK - BASEBALL DIAMOND - MOMENTS LATER Clark watches the other kids play from afar - too scared to approach. He is about to give up when a fly ball plops on the ground at his feet. He stares at it, unsure of what to do. BIG KID 1 (yelling) Yo, kid. Little help? Clark picks up the ball. Unsure he can throw the distance, he hesitates. Rolls the ball over instead. It stops halfway to Big Kid 1, who rolls his eyes, runs over and picks it up. 2. BIG KID 1 (CONT’D) Nice throw. The other kids laugh at him. Humiliated, Clark puts his hands in his pockets and walks away. Big Kid 2 advances on Big Kid 1; takes the ball away from him.
