Download or read book The Superhero Multiverse written by Lorna Piatti-Farnell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Superhero Multiverse focuses on the evolving meanings of the superhero icon in 21st-century film and popular media, with an emphasis on re-adapting, re-imagining, and re-making. With its focus on multimedia and transmedia transformations, The Superhero Multiverse pivots on two important points: firstly, it reflects on the core concerns of the superhero narrative—including the relationship between ‘superhero comics’ and ‘superhero films’, the comics roots of superhero media, matters of canon and hybridity, and issues of recycling and stereotyping in superhero films and media texts. Secondly, it considers how these intersecting textual and cultural preoccupations are intrinsic to the process of remaking and re-adapting superheroes, and brings attention to multiple ways of materializing these iconic figures in our contemporary context.

You'll fall in love with Samantha Addison, a smart, snarky journalist turned puff-piece editor who's hiding from the injuries of her past. Starting with a harrowing scene in which Samantha is attacked by a mugger in an alley, our heroine's razor-sharp sarcasm flies off the pages. You'll discover that her wit is what keeps her going when this near-death experience turns out to be just the beginning of an all-out attack. But who's behind it? Strangely, Samantha can't remember how she managed to survive that initial brutal assault. Weirder still, a hooded man always appears and saves her just in the nick of time. And why has Trevor Maessen, her former editor during her beat reporter days, picked this moment to show up after leaving her during a traumatic episode seven years earlier? Amid all of this turmoil, the stoic Jackson Christy might be Samantha's saving grace-or not. Twists and turns, along with plenty of action, wit, and romance, make Not Another Superhero an irresistible chick-lit concoction you can't put down!

Rollin, Gloria Steinem, Jennifer Stuller, Fredric Wertham, and Philip Wylie Despite their commercial appeal and cross-media reach, superheroes are only recently starting to attract sustained scholarly attention. This groundbreaking collection brings together essays and book excerpts by major writers on comics and popular culture. While superhero comics are a distinct and sometimes disdained branch of comics creation, they are integral to the development of the North American comic book and the history of the medium. For the past half-century, they have also been the one overwhelmingly dominant market genre. The sheer volume of superhero comics that have been published over the years is staggering. Major superhero universes constitute one of the most expansive storytelling canvases ever fashioned. Moreover, characters inhabiting these fictional universes are immensely influential, having achieved iconic recognition around the globe. Their images and adventures have shaped many other media, such as film, videogames, and even prose fiction. The primary aim of this reader is twofold: first, to collect in a single volume a sampling of the most sophisticated commentary on superheroes, and second, to bring into sharper focus the ways in which superheroes connect with larger social, cultural, literary, aesthetic, and historical themes that are of interest to a great many readers both in the academy and beyond.
