Book Description
Meet Mal: Unemployed. Antisocial. A god’s living weapon. The old gods are fighting for control of the modern world. But to keep their wars secret from the mortals, they need the Marked: humans ripped from their ordinary lives, gifted with divine power, and trained to work from the shadows to ensure their gods’ victory… by any means necessary. Join reluctant assassin Mal Keyne on her first four adventures as she protects New York City from Hades’s rivals, struggles to reclaim her lost humanity, and rushes in where angels fear to tread. Death Trace: It’s been ten years since Mal died. Five years since the god Hades dragged her from the underworld and forged her, through blood and pain, into his living weapon. And in five minutes, the only other agent of Hades she trusts will die… Memory Game: With Hades’s temple in ruins, Mal has a new mission—keep humanity from discovering the truth behind the attack. And Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, is happy to help. All she wants in return is one human dead… a human who happens to have the power to level entire buildings with a thought. Ghost Town: A single moment of weakness stopped Mal from closing an underworld gate. Now the city is paying the price. Two spirits are haunting the streets of Manhattan, and one of them has a body count. Night Terrors: When a plague of waking nightmares sweeps through New York, Mal’s race to save Hades’s last scrap of territory will turn her against her oldest friends, unearth a secret the gods themselves have kept buried for thousands of years, and test the limits of an alliance she thought was unshakable.

Beowulf in Comic Books and Graphic Novels
Author: Richard Scott Nokes
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476648425
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The legendary story of Beowulf comes to us in only one medieval manuscript with no illustrations. Modern comic book and graphic novel artists have created visual interpretations of Beowulf for decades, both illustrating and altering the classic story to pull out new themes.This book examines the growing canon of Beowulf comic books and graphic novels since the 1940s, and shows the remarkable emergence of new traditions--from re-envisioning the medieval look, to creating new plotlines, and even to transforming his identity. While placing Beowulf in a fantastical medieval setting, a techno-dystopia of the future, or modern-day America, artists have appropriated the tale to comment on social issues such as war, environmental issues, masculinity, and consumerism. Whether Beowulf is fighting new monsters or allying with popular comic book superheroes, these artists are creating a new canon of illustration that redefines Beowulf's place in our culture.

Paradise Lost, 1668-1968
Author: Earl Roy Miner
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 9780838755778
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
The Commentary, the first full version on Paradise Lost since the Richardsons' in 1734, combines numerous resources with features used for the first time. It includes the best commentary from Annotations like Patrick Hume's (1695), to the variorum editions of Newton (1749) and Todd (1801-42), and the modern professional editions culminating in Alastair Fowler's (1968). Other elements include an essay on the early pre-annotative criticism from 1668, including Marvell, Dryden, Dennis, and others; copious use of the OED; numerous cross-references to Milton's other works and passages in Paradise Lost; fourteen excurses and other contributions by the present editors. This Commentary is itself a research library for Paradise Lost. It uniquely presents biblical, classical, and vernacular citations: the ultimate rather than a more recent source is cited, so dating the comment; every cited passage is quoted, and every question is in English. Only a text of the poem is required. Earl Miner is Townsend Martin, Class of 1917, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Princeton University, William Moeck teaches English at Nassau Community College.
