Win the Competition. Save the Academy. At the start of her second year at the Academy, Ashley 'Crafter' Jason finds the whole school embroiled in the first-ever Academy Intraschool Competition, where six of the Academy's best students from each Team are pitted against one another in a year-long series of contests. Surprisingly, Ashley ends up voted to represent her Team, putting her at odds with her cocky first-year teleporter cousin Theo and straining her relationship with her best friend, Courtney. Winning the Competition is enough pressure by itself, but Ashley must also deal with the vicious Guardians of Humanity, an anti-super terrorist group whose leader, the lethal Overkill, has set his eyes on the Academy in general and Ashley in particular. The Guardians seek to destroy the Academy and their plans appear to involve the mysterious Lost Hero, Omega Man, who has been missing for over a decade. Now Ashley must not only win the Competition for her Team, but stop Overkill and the Guardians from enacting their deadly plan to destroy the Academy. To do that, she needs to find the Lost Hero before they do, because the Lost Hero may hold the key to the Academy's salvation ... or its destruction.

The Marvel Studios Phenomenon
Author: Martin Flanagan
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501338536
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Marvel Studios has provided some of the biggest worldwide cinematic hits of the last eight years, from Iron Man (2008) to the record-breaking The Avengers (2012), and beyond. Having announced plans to extend its production of connected texts in cinema, network and online television until at least 2028, the new aesthetic patterns brought about by Marvel's 'shared' media universe demand analysis and understanding. The Marvel Studios Phenomenon evaluates the studio's identity, as well as its status within the structures of parent Disney. In a new set of readings of key texts such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the thematics of superhero fiction and the role of fandom are considered. The authors identify milestones from Marvel's complex and controversial business history, allowing us to appraise its industrial status: from a comic publisher keen to exploit its intellectual property, to an independent producer, to successful subsidiary of a vast entertainment empire.

The Palgrave Handbook of Artistic and Cultural Responses to War since 1914
Author: Martin Kerby
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319969862
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
This handbook explores a diverse range of artistic and cultural responses to modern conflict, from Mons in the First World War to Kabul in the twenty-first century. With over thirty chapters from an international range of contributors, ranging from the UK to the US and Australia, and working across history, art, literature, and media, it offers a significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of modern war, and our artistic and cultural responses to it. The handbook is divided into three parts. The first part explores how communities and individuals responded to loss and grief by using art and culture to assimilate the experience as an act of survival and resilience. The second part explores how conflict exerts a powerful influence on the expression and formation of both individual, group, racial, cultural and national identities and the role played by art, literature, and education in this process. The third part moves beyond the actual experience of conflict and its connection with issues of identity to explore how individuals and society have made use of art and culture to commemorate the war. In this way, it offers a unique breadth of vision and perspective, to explore how conflicts have been both represented and remembered since the early twentieth century.
