The new abilities, and how they function, are described on the character cards. ATTACHING ENERGY TOKENS This expansion introduces effects that allow you to attach energy tokens to enemy cards. When you attach an energy token to an enemy card, take it from the supply and place it near that enemy card. An enemy card can have any number of energy tokens attached to it. Energy tokens attached to enemy cards are not considered to be “on” those cards for the purposes of other effects (e.g., Lord Drakkon’s Stolen Power). When an enemy is defeated, any energy tokens attached to it are immediately added to the shared energy pool. At the end of each battle, the energy tokens attached to any enemy cards still in play are returned to the supply.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

  • “WE ARE the CHILDREN of the EIGHTIES" We Are the Children of the Eighties
    “WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE EIGHTIES" We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first “lost generation” nor today’s lo s t generation. In fa ct, we think we know ju s t where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak. We are the ones who played with Lego Building Blocks when they were ju s t building blocks. We gave Malibu Barbie crew c u ts with safety scissors th a t never really cut. We collected Garbage Pail Kids and Cabbage Patcfi Kids and My Little Ponies and Hot Wheels. We collected He-Man action figures and thought th a t She- Ra looked ju s t a little b it like we would when we were women. Big Wheels and bicycles with streamers were the way to go, and sidewalk chalk was all we needed to build a city. Imagination was the key. It made the Ewok treehouse big enough for you to be Luke. It made the kitchen table and an old sheet dark enough to be a tent in the forest. Your world was the backyard and it was all you needed. With your pink portable Pocket Rocker. Debbie Gibson sang back up to you. Everyone wanted a skirt like the “ Material G irl" and a glove like Michael Jackson’s. Today, we are the ones who sing along with Bruce 5pringsteen and The Bangles perfectly and have no idea why. We recite lines with “Ghostbusters” and still look to “The Gooniee” for a great adventure. We flip through T.V.

  • British Children No Longer Have 'Stars in Their Eyes'
    BRITISH CHILDREN NO LONGER HAVE ‘STARS IN THEIR EYES’ Submitted by: Cow PR LLP Wednesday, 19 March 2008 Despite February’s Lunar Eclipse and the UK historically being a maritime nation, it seems that British kids’ celebrity star knowledge is eclipsing their ability to spot some of the major stars and planets in the night’s sky. Research out today, to celebrate the launch of the new Power Rangers Operation Overdrive DVD, shows that British children can’t identify the Moon (72%), Mars (57%) and Saturn (44%) but are three times as likely to be able to identify a celebrity star than one from the cosmos. More worryingly, the research also found that two in every five (39%) kids thought Mars was a type of chocolate bar and almost a third (30%) thought Winston Churchill was the first man to walk on the moon. Two-thirds of the 1,400 kids surveyed were also unable to answer basic questions such as how many planets are in the solar system (60%) or could name the planets in order (59%). A third of kids also believed the Earth wasn’t an official planet (35%) and thought the surface of Mars was blue (33%). Famous UK astronomical figures such as Stephen Hawking and Sir Patrick Moore should take heart though as nearly three-quarters (73%) of the kids questioned wanted to learn more about astronomy, although only 15% believed that their parents would be able to help them learn about the night sky. To help boost kids’ knowledge of astronomy, the Power Rangers brand has teamed up with the British Astronomical Society to create a guide to the stars using the popular TV characters to help teach kids more about the night sky from finding the North Star to spotting shooting stars this summer.
