Why We Need Superheroes
Author: Jeffrey Kahan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476644977
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Comic books and superhero stories mirror essential societal values and beliefs. We can be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Black Panther or Rocket Raccoon through our everyday choices. We can't fly, fix hyper drives or hear human heartbeats a mile away, but we can think about what Matt Murdock would do in a conflict, how Superman would respond to natural disasters and how Captain America would handle humanitarian crises. This book analyzes the impact of dozens of comics by examining the noble personalities, traits and actions of the main characters. Chapters detail how superheroes, comic books and other pop culture phenomena offer more than pure entertainment, and how we can better model ourselves after our favorite heroes. Through our good deeds, quick thinking and positive choices, we can become more like superheroes than we ever imagined.

Captain America: Tomorrow Army
Author: Marvel Press
Publisher: Disney Electronic Content
ISBN: 1423190629
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Steve Rogers woke up in the 21st century and to a world full of new modern technology and changes. He's still not comfortable about his new life except when he is Captain America. When S.H.I.E.L.D. learns HYDRA agents are on the rise and threatening the world's safety, Nick Fury calls on Steve to suit up and put an end to HYDRA's evil plans. But even the courageous Captain America isn't ready for HYDRA's new leader, Armin Zola, Cap's old foe resurrected as a powerful robot, and his plan to build a robotic army of Super-Soliders known as The Tomorrow Army to take over the world and destroy Captain America and SHEILD once and for all. Outmatched, Steve must now rely on help from others—namely Black Widow and Falcon—to face the thing he doesn't understand: a techno-villain who is twisting modern technology to his own evil purposes. Marvel chapter books are the perfect next steps for readers who have grown up on our World of Reading titles. These stories are character-driven tales in which much of the action-packed scenes unfold in colorful, fully-illustrated sequences, while the character and story development is conveyed in the clean, simple exposition that's perfect for young readers.

Tech-Noir
Author: Paul Meehan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147660973X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This critical study traces the common origins of film noir and science fiction films, identifying the many instances in which the two have merged to form a distinctive subgenre known as Tech-Noir. From the German Expressionist cinema of the late 1920s to the present-day cyberpunk movement, the book examines more than 100 films in which the common noir elements of crime, mystery, surrealism, and human perversity intersect with the high technology of science fiction. The author also details the hybrid subgenre's considerable influences on contemporary music, fashion, and culture.

Super Black
Author: Adilifu Nama
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292742525
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Super Black places the appearance of black superheroes alongside broad and sweeping cultural trends in American politics and pop culture, which reveals how black superheroes are not disposable pop products, but rather a fascinating racial phenomenon through which futuristic expressions and fantastic visions of black racial identity and symbolic political meaning are presented. Adilifu Nama sees the value—and finds new avenues for exploring racial identity—in black superheroes who are often dismissed as sidekicks, imitators of established white heroes, or are accused of having no role outside of blaxploitation film contexts. Nama examines seminal black comic book superheroes such as Black Panther, Black Lightning, Storm, Luke Cage, Blade, the Falcon, Nubia, and others, some of whom also appear on the small and large screens, as well as how the imaginary black superhero has come to life in the image of President Barack Obama. Super Black explores how black superheroes are a powerful source of racial meaning, narrative, and imagination in American society that express a myriad of racial assumptions, political perspectives, and fantastic (re)imaginings of black identity. The book also demonstrates how these figures overtly represent or implicitly signify social discourse and accepted wisdom concerning notions of racial reciprocity, equality, forgiveness, and ultimately, racial justice.
