Book Description
Tony Stark isn't a man who enjoys relaxing, but a weekend getaway with Pepper Potts is too appealing to say no to. The downtime is short lived, though, as Maria Hill, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, crashes the party, bringing with her information about a twenty-foot tall alien robot unlike anything scientists have ever seen. Having learned of the alien technology, Count Luchino Nefaria sees the potential to turn the robot into a weapon that serves Nefaria's own purposes. He recruits the Ghost to steal the robot, but when the alien technology is brought out of its dormant mode, it turns out to be too much for even one of Earth's most skilled hackers. Iron Man is overwhelmed, the Ghost is under the robot's control, and Nefaria is in over his head. With little time and even less help, Iron Man calls on War Machine and Rescue to prepare one last stand against an alien technology focused on one simple mission: the complete destruction of mankind. Penned by veteran comic book and fantasy writer Pat Shand, Iron Man: Mutually Assured Destruction sends Iron Man on one of his most dangerous and important missions to date, and is sure to thrill Marvel fans to the very end.

Marvel Comics' Civil War and the Age of Terror

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Marvel Comics has an established tradition of addressing relevant real-life issues facing the American public. With the publication of Civil War (2006-2007), a seven-issue crossover storyline spanning the Marvel universe, they focused on contemporary anxieties such as terrorism and threats to privacy and other civil liberties. This collection of new essays explores the Civil War series and its many tie-in titles from the perspectives of history, political science, sociology, psychology, literary criticism, philosophy, law and education. The contributors provide a close reading of the series' main theme--the appropriate balance between freedom and security--and discuss how that balance affects citizenship, race, gender and identity construction in 21st-century America.

Transformation: A Personal Journey Through the British Transformers Comic Volume 2: 1987-1989
Author: Stuart Webb
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244313849
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
By 1987, the British Transformers was at the peak of its powers. Alternating between US reprints showing the struggle for leadership within the Autobot and Decepticon forces and UK material dealing with the insane future Decepticon Galvatron's attempts to rule yesterday, what had started as a toy advert had become a sprawling space opera seared into the minds of an entire generation. Stuart Webb was one such reader, and in 2012 he began a journey looking through every single issue of the series, commenting on its highs and lows. He became the first person to look at every backup strip and editorial and how they worked together to create the most thorough exploration of a publishing phenomenon ever undertaken. It's also highly personal, full of humour and silliness and even the occasionally thoughtful moment. The final result is an essential read, not just for Transformers fans, but also for those interested in the history of Marvel UK and the impact this simple little comic had on an entire generation.
