Download or read book The Existential Joss Whedon written by J. Michael Richardson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the major works of contemporary American television and film screenwriter Joss Whedon. The authors argue that these works are part of an existentialist tradition that stretches back from the French atheistic existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, through the Danish Christian existentialist Soren Kierkegaard, to the Russian novelist and existentialist Fyodor Dostoevsky. Whedon and Dostoevsky, for example, seem preoccupied with the problem of evil and human freedom. Both argue that in each and every one of us "a demon lies hidden." Whedon personifies these demons and has them wandering about and causing havoc. Dostoevsky treats the subject only slightly more seriously. Chapters cover such topics as Russian existentialism and vampire slayage; moral choices; ethics; Faith and bad faith; constructing reality through existential choice; some limitations of science and technology; love and self-sacrifice; love, witchcraft, and vengeance; soul mates and moral responsibility; love and moral choice; forms of freedom; and Whedon as moral philosopher.

Book excerpt: She’s no match for the devil. Or is she? Crista’s arrival home in Los Angeles, after having been sent to Spain when she was barely five, is far different than she expected. Her family, strangers to her now, are not there to greet her. It’s a band of outlaws that welcome her home. She fears her fate is sealed, only to discover that her fate lies in the hands of the devil. Diablo is an infamous outlaw, feared by all and obeyed by all, but seen by none. He wears a dark shroud that conceals his face, adding to his terrifying reputation. His men won’t dare disobey or betray him. Or they’ll feel the crack of his whip, a weapon he wields with exceptional skill. Crista learns all too soon how terrifying and heartless the notorious outlaw can be and prays that her family will rescue her. But given time with Diablo, she begins to wonder about the man beneath the shroud. With decisions having always been made for her, Crista makes one on her own that seals her fate and steals her heart. And when things prove to be far different than what she thought they were… she must make another decision. Does she trust the devil or destroy him?

Download or read book Some Kind of Angel written by Melvin Harter and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a rash of bizarre mass murders at the outer fringes of the earth, murders that mummify victims and leave no trace of evidence, The President of the United States receives an anonymous blackmail letter from the terrorist. If the president does not adhere to the perpetrator's fanatic agenda of radical public policy changes on a strict time line, group assassinations of holocaust proportions will occur in densely populated centers. The chief executive teams a young forensic doctor, Gilbert "Sneetz" Schnetele, with an old investigative journalist, Albert Muldoon, to head Operation Worldsafe, the commission mandated to identify and destroy the terrorist and disarm the WMD to avoid a threatened massacre in Washington on The Fourth of July. The assignment becomes progressively more daunting as the deadline for disaster approaches. The cliff-hanging pursuit takes Sneetz on an international odyssey loaded with land mines and pot holes. Some Kind of Angel is a fast-paced story of how a man's heroism is revealed when, under tremendous personal pressure, he makes choices and takes actions contrary to his own avowed values.

Download or read book The Comics of Joss Whedon written by Valerie Estelle Frankel and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal of scholarship has focused on Joss Whedon's television and film work, which includes Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, The Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers. But Whedon's work in the world of comics has largely been ignored. He created his own dystopian heroine, Fray, assembled the goofy fannish heroes of Sugarshock, and wrote arcs for Marvel's Astonishing X-Men and Runaways. Along with The Avengers, Whedon's contributions to the cinematic Universe include: script doctoring the first X-Men film, writing a ground-shaking Wonder Woman screenplay, and co-creating ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Today, Whedon continues the Buffy and Firefly stories with innovative comics that shatter the rules of storytelling and force his characters to grow through life-altering conflicts. This collection of new essays focuses on Whedon's comics work and its tie-ins with his film and television productions, emphasizing his auteurism in crossing over from panel to screen to panel. Essays focus on the comic inspirations and subversive tropes of the Whedonverse, as well as character changes and new interpretations.
