Of course, none of that really elaborates on why this is a recommendation. Published on. They abandoned us to our fate. And really, at a better possible time this book could not possibly come out. Flex appeared in a number of animated commercial advertisements too which led to his own animated cartoon which ran for one season in - The subterraneous dips into the subconcious. Lists with This Book. I get what he is trying to say, I do -- we're all sad, we don't dream, we're rotting from the inside, we need to be magicians. I own only issue 3 of the original issues, but even a cursory look reveals dramatic differences. Flex Mentallo is an unbelievably mind-bending trip through the past four decades of comics. Much like Morrison driving against the tide of comics cynicism toward heroes, Mentallo is also a man out of time, as he recollects past, surreal adventures that call to mind the camp adventurism of s and early s comics. It seems that those God-like fictional characters not only created our reality, but they take care of it providence. From the Scotsman, comic book storytelling should be meaningful towards his livelihood, no matter how outlandish his stories and certainly superheroes since their very inception mean a great deal towards Morrison, as established in his miniseries where he first collaborated with artist Frank Quitely, thus begins the start of a beautiful friendship. Feb 04, Andrew rated it really liked it Shelves: superheroes , comics , dc-vertigo. Average rating 4. So the big question, after years of obscurity — is this book worth the wait? Get A Copy. Second, it's very short. The titular character, Flex Mentallo, has his origins in those old Charles Atlas comic ads where a scrawny loser gets sand kicked in his face by a beach beefcake. Apart from his debut with the "Blackheart" strip in three issues of Dark Horse Presents , Frank Quitely's work on Flex Mentallo was his break into ongoing work for the American industry. Only the addition of actual Morrison script pages could have improved this special features section. July 26, at am. This isn't just me hypothesizing -- that's where Morrison's hypersigilism mumbowhatsit comes in, and he's spoken about it pretty extensively in interviews. Through the imagination, reality is birthed. Apart from the cut-up nature of Mentallo employed on the cover and interior of chapter four, there is the single page in that chapter where Mentallo awakens after breaking through into the satellite headquarters. Watch it conform to your expectations and watch reality turn into what you wish it to be! You know the guy. Top charts. Yet, his breakdown of the cover design to issue 4 is by far the most striking as he arranged the individual panels and segments. See 1 question about Flex Mentallo…. They lose and are confined to fiction hood. Flex is in part a parody of Charles Atlas ' long-running "The Insult that made a Man out of Mac" advertisements seen in American comics from the past. It will be interesting to see if true Morrison fans find the hardcover recoloring an improvement or revisionist to the intended feel of the series. That is not to say that Quitely does not include some innovative features. Everything works and I definitely will be rereading this one in the near future.

Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery Writer In Flex's fictionary world, the Legion is a legendary entity that few people was able to see, but sometimes they manifest themselves through epiphanies, drug induced hallucinations, appearance to space travellers, etc. May 18, He assumed that by turning the Pentagon into a circle he would solve the problem. The whole cast has assembled. The news media throughout the series teases the imminence of war. So, was Flex Mentallo worth the wait? I've wondered why so many people have raved about Morrison's Flex Mentallo, and I think the reason I would tell a comics fan to read it is simply this. All of the superheroes are returning, a dramatic splash page that looks like they are flying out of the sun. I think I can probably say with certainty that Grant Morrison is my favorite comic book writer now. Want to Read saving…. Lists with This Book. He divides his time between his homes in Los Angeles and Scotland. In particular it looks at the concept of the superhero through the decades and asks what purpose they serve us.

When I asked him about what he considered to be his best work, he told me, "Well, that is a hard one because I kind of like all of them, even the ugly, bizarre looking children. Flex himself is a little confusing -- he is a DC comics character obviously , and as such he lives in Comic World. It may be that this mercurial existence is what's driving him to suicide -- in fact, it is almost definitely that thing. The superheroes of this polyverse "The Legion of Legions" are failing to stop that evil force. This template will categorize any article that includes it into the Doom Patrol members category. The four-issue miniseries is reprinted complete with the full original covers. I will not give 5 stars to this book only because the story is so "strange", and the way it is told does not make the life easier for the reader. Nov 17, Keith rated it liked it. The opening panels depict a terrorist bomber, followed by an explosion which becomes the Big Bang, which in turn becomes an egg being cooked for Flex Mentallo. It connected with me on so many levels but it is hard to explain about every idea, opinion, and revelation that happened during my experience with this series; I just got it. Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery Reviews Now it's back at the library. The theme stretches across a number of Morrison's works and is explained in full in "Supergods", while the multi- dimensions and superbeings talking to one another echo his own supposed alien encounter in the mountains of Katmandu in the early 90s. Mar 24, Danny rated it liked it. His task complete, Flex went his separate way. The plan was to make the whole world like a giant machine, accomplishing nothing, but with each piece in its place. Original pages. I can say that when reading this book I took my time examining each and every panel, word balloon, and illustration, because much like watching a Kubrick film, each and every aspect of the book can have a purpose or meaning. Either way his mind is screwed. This multiplicity of universes, called the polyverse, is being destroyed by an evil force named "The Absolute". We, in the actual real world, can read and write DC comic books. As far as I know, this is the first collaboration between Morrison and Frank Quietly, and it is neat to see them already so in sync with one another. The fourth book looks to the future and asks the question: where does the superhero go from here? Finally the DC superheros save the day and a new reality starts. This is not only a comic book, but an enigma posed by Grant Morrison. This fast-paced tale twists super hero tropes, introducing one mind-boggling concept after another in a tour de force of innovative storytelling. Now the story felt far above me mentally and emotionally to the point where panels transitions did not make sense. For a new reader with specific taste in comics or only goes for one or two genres, this may not be the comic book you are looking for, at least at this point in time. Unlike his offerings that be frustrating in only alluding to fascinating things on the margins, here you see everything hinted at even if just for a panel. How is The Fact going to help? Harry was "on to something big", as Norman put it, involving the Pentagon , a rash of 32 mysterious disappearances since , silver sugar tongs, and an Ant Farm. The character, Flex Mentallo, acknowledges that he is a comic creation brought to life by Wallace Sage. Charles Atlas company president Jeffrey C. The book, really, is somewhat three-fold. The comic asks the question, what is real? He was "spread and twisted" through time and space by some psychic superpowers of the adolescent Wally, as a kind of punishment that now results in a blessing. The heroes manifest to Wally at critical points in his life, like a possible child abuse experience. Frank Quitely's artwork is also the best I've seen from him and he's an almost unfairly talented artist. There's some really beautiful pages in this collection, and Morrison comes up with ideas that seem derived from the very heart of creativity. Wally, inspired by the Legion, draws comics and creates new characters like Flex Mentallo. After all, he was literally born to be a hero. Tarzanesque clothed Flex Mentallo perilously meanders first, then dives headfirst into a narrative brimming with as much mystery as comic book history and lore.

  • Grant Morrison” and Grantmorrison™
    K Scott 1 No Guru, No Method, No Teacher: “Grant Morrison” and GrantMorrison™ 1. Introduction My title comes from Van, not Grant, Morrison; not just because of a fondness for the music of my compatriot, but because it sums up both the worldview of my main subject and my own complex and contradictory responses to his work. As a writer, Morrison attracts admiration and odium in roughly equal measure, a sign generally of his attempts to innovate within the medium of comics, and more specifically of the key element of his work I wish to examine here, the extent to which he foregrounds his own presence within his texts. His work displays a continual questioning of established value systems – religious, political and artistic – and a simultaneous elevation of personae who are clearly meant to be read as avatars of Morrison himself, placed in and acting through his comics. As Jacques Bens wrote in his analysis of Boris Vian’s L’Ecume des jours: Tout écrivain refait le monde, soit parce qu’il est impuissant à restituer parfaitement une réalité don’t la structure complexe échappe à la parole, soit parce qu’il a envie de libérer ses demons familers [my italics] (177). [All authors remake the world, either because it is impossible to perfectly reconstruct a reality of which the structure is too complex to capture in language, or because they wish to loose their personal demons] The “personal demons” (and the occult reference is entirely fitting for a writer who makes much play of the idea of magic as a belief system) Morrison liberates are overwhelmingly linked to the relationship between himself and his writing.

  • Superhuman, Transhuman, Post/Human: Mapping the Production and Reception of the Posthuman Body
    Superhuman, Transhuman, Post/Human: Mapping the Production and Reception of the Posthuman Body Scott Jeffery Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling, Scotland, UK September 2013 Declaration I declare that none of the work contained within this thesis has been submitted for any other degree at any other university. The contents found within this thesis have been composed by the candidate Scott Jeffery. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you, first of all, to my supervisors Dr Ian McIntosh and Dr Sharon Wright for their support and patience. To my brother, for allowing to me to turn several of his kitchens into offices. And to R and R. For everything. ABSTRACT The figure of the cyborg, or more latterly, the posthuman body has been an increasingly familiar presence in a number of academic disciplines. The majority of such studies have focused on popular culture, particularly the depiction of the posthuman in science-fiction, fantasy and horror. To date however, few studies have focused on the posthuman and the comic book superhero, despite their evident corporeality, and none have questioned comics’ readers about their responses to the posthuman body. This thesis presents a cultural history of the posthuman body in superhero comics along with the findings from twenty-five, two-hour interviews with readers. By way of literature reviews this thesis first provides a new typography of the posthuman, presenting it not as a stable bounded subject but as what Deleuze and Guattari (1987) describe as a ‘rhizome’. Within the rhizome of the posthuman body are several discursive plateaus that this thesis names Superhumanism (the representation of posthuman bodies in popular culture), Post/Humanism (a critical-theoretical stance that questions the assumptions of Humanism) and Transhumanism (the philosophy and practice of human enhancement with technology).

  • Bodies in Transition. Queering the Comic Book Superhero
    QUEER(ING) POPULAR CULTURE BODIES IN TRANSITION Queering the Comic Book Superhero BY DANIEL STEIN ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the comic book superhero as a popular figure whose queer- ness follows as much from the logic of the comics medium and the aesthetic prin- ciples of the genre as it does from a dialectic tension between historically evolving heteronormative and queer readings. Focusing specifically on the superbody as an overdetermined site of gendered significances, the essay traces a shift from the ostensibly straight iterations in the early years of the genre to the more recent appearance of openly queer characters. It further suggests that the struggle over the superbody’s sexual orientation and gender identity has been an essential force in the development of the genre from its inception until the present day. The comic book superhero has been a figure of the popular imagination for eight decades, if we count Superman’s appearance in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) as the beginning of the genre. Almost as old as the genre itself are associations of the superhero with what the American amateur psychologist Gershon Legman de- scribed as »an undercurrent of homosexuality and sado-masochism«1 in his book Love and Death (1949). These associations became part of the broader public dis- course when the German-born psychiatrist Frederic Wertham expanded on them in Seduction of the Innocent (1954), a flawed but popular study of the effects of comic-book reading on juveniles that played into the climate of sexual anxieties at the height of the so-called comics scare.

This tension results in the complication of authorial and interpretive negotiation of basic principles of narrative and structure as readers and producers must seek to construct satisfactory identities for these icons. Similarly, the post-modern experimentation of Robert Coover—in Briar Rose and Stepmother—argues that we must no longer view contemporary fairytales as separate (cohesive) entities that may exist apart from their source narratives.
