Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the criminals who started it...The mask has always been a staple for crooks, but lifted shoes hid a persons true height, padded suits concealed body weight, costumes covered scars, marks, and tattoos. Crime ran free because no one could ever be identified. The police gave a valiant effort but all for not. Crime was about to win. America was on the verge of being ripped apart by terror. When three unlikely people showed up. General Justice, The Howler, and Nightshade. The first to don the mask of justice. This is the beginning of everything, how it all started. The rise of the first ever "Heroes" What was to follow was an eight decade long era of super people and caped men, and women of justice. Good versus evil to a degree only equaled in comic books. The rise and fall of the age of costumed vigilantes, and theatrical villains. But this story... This is how it all began.

That until, one night, he finds himself saving a young woman from getting mugged. Giana is no ordinary twenty-nine year old, though. She's witty, badmouthed, and once she's set her focus on something nothing can make her stray from her goal. Even if that means putting her life on the line to save the man she's come to know and love from the nightmares that torment him. Literally.

Download or read book Comic Book Movies written by Blair Davis and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comic Book Movies explores how this genre serves as a source for modern-day myths, sometimes even incorporating ancient mythic figures like Thor and Wonder Woman’s Amazons, while engaging with the questions that haunt a post-9/11 world: How do we define heroism and morality today? How far are we willing to go when fighting terror? How can we resist a dystopian state? Film scholar Blair Davis also considers how the genre’s visual style is equally important as its weighty themes, and he details how advances in digital effects have allowed filmmakers to incorporate elements of comic book art in innovative ways. As he reveals, comic book movies have inspired just as many innovations to Hollywood’s business model, with film franchises and transmedia storytelling helping to ensure that the genre will continue its reign over popular culture for years to come.

Book Synopsis The Last Superhero by : Paul Wilding
Download or read book The Last Superhero written by Paul Wilding and published by . This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a superhero is so much about actually having any superpowers, more about the desire to save people, even if those people are a generation of foul-mouthed, unappreciative, work-shy, yobs. Raven (Dirk Steel) is the very man to do this, aided by his long-suffering wife Dannii, his black sheep daughter Saphyr who has brought shame on the Steel clan by becoming middle class, and her daughter Portia who is somewhat a genius at maths. Raven fights supervillains wherever he finds them, which is mostly around South East London pubs and housing estates, be it gangs of Post-Modernist terrorists in Post Offices bent on world melancholy, Existentialists in bunkers by the docks building doomsday machines or mad scientists that uncannily resemble Richard Dawkins. Meanwhile, Prime Minister of Great Britain, Antonia Widdicome, the slimiest, most self-serving, backstabbing and incompetent Prime Minister the country has ever had, realises a humongous great asteroid will crash into Earth next week, around tea time, on election day. But this is far from Earth's biggest problem as a group of ruthless Situationist terrorists have just released a virus into the world's computers that will make everyone realise the futility of existence and the pointlessness of their lives, unless they go shopping, and a huge temporal wave from the past is gradually returning the Earth back to the Jurassic. She now has the unenviable task saving her own skin from these catastrophes and fixing the General Election at the same time. To combat the forthcoming disasters the Governments of America, Russia, North Korea and New Zealand spring to immediate action, however God, vodka, Kim Il Jong's corpse and Peter Jackson quickly prove to be less than adequate solutions to Armageddon, so all eyes turn to Britain and namely one man to save the world, Raven. Despite being 70 years old, not actually having any superpowers or even an O level in science and having just been mugged by a gang of 12-year-old girls who stole his bus pass so is having a few mobility problems, Raven agrees to save the world...... Can Raven overt a global financial meltdown, stop a temporal wave, fight giant dino-monsters, deflect a humongous asteroid, avoid the bus ticket inspectors and still find time to vote for UKIP at the General Election? And if things are not bad enough already, the last two surviving members of the Communist Party of Great Britain are planning a Gulag in Berkshire. They have a less than chance meeting with an American evangelical snake oil salesman and set up a rival superhero franchise of their own. The most dangerous woman in Britain has escaped from her padded cell and is on a mission from God............ And watching all this from space are a team of crack anthropologists from the planet Erra who are studying Earth's most significant cultural achievement, Reality TV, and the last thing they want is their ship to malfunction and crash into the planet at this precise moment.Unbeknown to each, the paths of the protagonists are on collision course and the actions they do have repercussions which by some twist of fate may just give Raven the opportunity to save the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of essays exploring the origins of the authors' relationships to their favorite superheroes; including stories from Neil Gaiman, Jodi Picoult, Brad Meltzer, Joe Lansdale and more! As broad as our exponentially growing cultural fascination with caped crusaders is, it runs just as deep as this long awaited anthology underscores. Liesa Mignogna the VP, Editorial Director at Simon Pulse and editor of this anthology can expound on the virtues of Batman (her wedding was even Batman-themed) but it's her retelling of incredibly harrowing yet ultimately inspiring encounters with The Dark Knight over the years, as she struggled to coexist with the supervillains in her own family that birthed this collection. Last Night, A Superhero Saved My Life gives readers the chance to connect to their beloved authors, while those same authors connect to their beloved superheroes, and within that feedback loop of respect and admiration lies a stellar, and phenomenally accessible, anthology full of thrills, chills, and spills. Contributors include New York Times bestsellers Christopher Golden, Leigh Bardugo, Brad Meltzer, Neil Gaiman, Carrie Vaughn, Jodi Picoult, and Jamie Ford, as well as award-winners and mainstays like Joe R. Lansdale, Karina Cooper, and Ron Currie, Jr among many others. Last Night, A Superhero Saved My Life's authors share their most hilarious and most heart wrenching experiences with their chosen defender to explain why superheroes matter, what they tell us about who we are, and what they mean for our future.

Book Synopsis What is a Superhero? by : Robin S. Rosenberg PhD
Download or read book What is a Superhero? written by Robin S. Rosenberg PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's easy to name a superhero--Superman, Batman, Thor, Spiderman, the Green Lantern, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rorschach, Wolverine--but it's not so easy to define what a superhero is. Buffy has superpowers, but she doesn't have a costume. Batman has a costume, but doesn't have superpowers. What is the role of power and superpower? And what are supervillains and why do we need them? In What is a Superhero?, psychologist Robin Rosenberg and comics scholar Peter Coogan explore this question from a variety of viewpoints, bringing together contributions from nineteen comic book experts--including both scholars in such fields as cultural studies, art, and psychology as well as leading comic book writers and editors. What emerges is a kaleidoscopic portrait of this most popular of pop-culture figures. Writer Jeph Loeb, for instance, sees the desire to make the world a better place as the driving force of the superhero. Jennifer K. Stuller argues that the female superhero inspires women to stand up, be strong, support others, and most important, to believe in themselves. More darkly, A. David Lewis sees the indestructible superhero as the ultimate embodiment of the American "denial of death," while writer Danny Fingeroth sees superheroes as embodying the best aspects of humankind, acting with a nobility of purpose that inspires us. Interestingly, Fingeroth also expands the definition of superhero so that it would include characters like John McClane of the Die Hard movies: "Once they dodge ridiculous quantities of machine gun bullets they're superheroes, cape or no cape." From summer blockbusters to best-selling graphic novels, the superhero is an integral part of our culture. What is a Superhero? not only illuminates this pop-culture figure, but also sheds much light on the fantasies and beliefs of the American people.
