Book excerpt: "Spinning out of the events of the hit series 52, "Checkout" is the saga that leaves two teams changed forever! Something sinister is happening on Oolong Island, home to mad scientists and their terrifying creations. But the island lies too close to China and North Korea for the U.N.'s metahuman monitoring forces, Checkmate, to do anything about it. Nightwing's team of Outsiders, however, was created for just this sort of mission. The rogue super-team goes to places no other heroes can go, no matter the consequences. So when Checkmate deputizes the Outsiders (by means of kidnapping them), it's off to Oolong Island and the horrors that await. When these two teams on either side of the law join forces, personalities are sure to clash, secrets are sure to be revealed ... and not everyone is guaranteed to make it back in one piece"--Page 4 of cover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Checkmate is a story that reveals the frailties in every relationship whether personal or professional. We may live civility in society but our world is more dangerous than the jungle of prey and predators. As pillagers ourselves we constantly engage in a purge by intimidation, stealthily stalking, stealing and marauding. We become both the hunter and hunted in an intractable game of chess in life. In this ode, Aarvan, the main protagonist gets entrapped by the very people that is his own blood and close friends. The travesty of life is truly an antithesis of what in reality it actually is. Even forgiving is a victim on its own. Life is only one in its true avatar. We just get caught up in the cosmic karma of vicious cycle where redemption is only a notion.

Book excerpt: Dr. Hawthorne is a clinical hypnotist residing in early-nineteenth-century England. The daughter of his neighbors, Patricia Finney, has been singled out for elimination by a sinister organization from the future known as Apex. When they send timenauts into the past to carry out this directive, he gets added to their hit list. Instead, the two of them manage to evade their intended deaths and end up acquiring capabilities that can potentially cancel out the future of the entire program of time manipulation. Once they discover that the Doctor by himself has the capacity to cut them off from their own past, Apex has to figure out a way to get rid of him without killing him outright. While they are in the process of formulating their plans to do this, a strategically concealed plot emerges from an unexpected source with the intention of getting rid of Apex itself. The foundation upon which this story is based is the alleged normality of everyday English life. It serves as the reference point against which all the numerous venue changes that follow are contrasted. Included in these changes are dreams, forays into the future, alternate realities, extraterrestrial contacts, flashbacks, and journeys through the astral plane. The major trust behind this adventure, however, are the continual psychological adjustments necessary to navigate among all these mutable states of conscious awareness. And to top it off, the entire adventure is contained within a single event whose nature will not be revealed until the very end.

Book excerpt: This book examines different brand of women’s feminist struggles and focuses on the struggles of Muslim women who are insiders in the Islamic Movement, as represented in Nigerian Muslim women’s Islamic activism.

It argues that the Islamic texts portray the pre-modern basis of these Muslim women Islamic feminism—born in the Prophetic era before the secular feminist movement, contrary to the common notion of the Islamic endorsement of Muslim women stereotypical backwardness, domestication and patriarchal domination. This book demonstrates how Muslim women writers have used Islamic organizations to work for, and contribute to, feminist changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate guide to the man behind the mask . . . and the mythology behind the man. “Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot. So my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible. . . . I shall become a bat!” So declared millionaire industrialist Bruce Wayne, orphaned as a boy by a murderous thug and driven as a man to battle the scourge of crime by becoming Batman. Batman swooped into popular culture in 1939–and for nearly seventy years has thrilled audiences in countless comics, live-action and animated television programs, and seven feature films. Prowling the darkened rooftops of Gotham City, roaring through the teeming streets in the sleek, high-powered Batmobile, and leaping into action when the iconic Bat-Signal pierces the night sky, the Caped Crusader is a larger-than-life legend. And now, for the first time in more than thirty years, everything there is to know about Batman–from the beginning to the present, and from A to Z–is collected in one comprehensive new sourcebook. More than 500 pages of entries and illustrations include: • fascinating details and the complete background on Batman’s origins • biographies of every major character in the Batman universe–including his closest allies, from Robin the Boy Wonder and faithful butler Alfred Pennyworth to Commissioner Gordon; and his countless enemies, from the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, and the Riddler to Scarecrow, Two-Face, Ra’s al Ghul and Poison Ivy • classic black-and-white comic book artwork throughout • two sixteen-page full-color artwork inserts Even an all-access pass to the Batcave couldn’t rival former DC Comics editor and Batman scholar extraordinaire Robert Greenberger’s exhaustive ultimate archive.

Download or read book Third Person written by Pat Harrigan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative strategies for vast fictional worlds across a variety of media, from World of Warcraft to The Wire. The ever-expanding capacities of computing offer new narrative possibilities for virtual worlds. Yet vast narratives—featuring an ongoing and intricately developed storyline, many characters, and multiple settings—did not originate with, and are not limited to, Massively Multiplayer Online Games. Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers, J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Marvel's Spiderman, and the complex stories of such television shows as Dr. Who, The Sopranos, and Lost all present vast fictional worlds. Third Person explores strategies of vast narrative across a variety of media, including video games, television, literature, comic books, tabletop games, and digital art. The contributors—media and television scholars, novelists, comic creators, game designers, and others—investigate such issues as continuity, canonicity, interactivity, fan fiction, technological innovation, and cross-media phenomena. Chapters examine a range of topics, including storytelling in a multiplayer environment; narrative techniques for a 3,000,000-page novel; continuity (or the impossibility of it) in Doctor Who; managing multiple intertwined narratives in superhero comics; the spatial experience of the Final Fantasy role-playing games; World of Warcraft adventure texts created by designers and fans; and the serial storytelling of The Wire. Taken together, the multidisciplinary conversations in Third Person, along with Harrigan and Wardrip-Fruin's earlier collections First Person and Second Person, offer essential insights into how fictions are constructed and maintained in very different forms of media at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
