Gender and the Superhero Narrative
Author: Michael Goodrum
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496818830
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Contributions by Dorian L. Alexander, Janine Coleman, Gabriel Gianola, Mel Gibson, Michael Goodrum, Tim Hanley, Vanessa Hemovich, Christina Knopf, Christopher McGunnigle, Samira Nadkarni, Ryan North, Lisa Perdigao, Tara Prescott-Johnson, Philip Smith, and Maite Ucaregui The explosive popularity of San Diego’s Comic-Con, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One, and Netflix’s Jessica Jones and Luke Cage all signal the tidal change in superhero narratives and mainstreaming of what were once considered niche interests. Yet just as these areas have become more openly inclusive to an audience beyond heterosexual white men, there has also been an intense backlash, most famously in 2015’s Gamergate controversy, when the tension between feminist bloggers, misogynistic gamers, and internet journalists came to a head. The place for gender in superhero narratives now represents a sort of battleground, with important changes in the industry at stake. These seismic shifts—both in the creation of superhero media and in their critical and reader reception—need reassessment not only of the role of women in comics, but also of how American society conceives of masculinity. Gender and the Superhero Narrative launches ten essays that explore the point where social justice meets the Justice League. Ranging from comics such as Ms. Marvel, Batwoman: Elegy, and Bitch Planet to video games, Netflix, and cosplay, this volume builds a platform for important voices in comics research, engaging with controversy and community to provide deeper insight and thus inspire change.

Book Description
"Nobody defeats Deathstroke. Slade Wilson has killed a Titan, held his own against the God of War and gone punch for punch with Superman and lived to tell the tale. But someone has found the one chink in Deathstroke's armor... Now his daughter, Rose, has gone missing, taken by none other than Harley Quinn. Harley intends to force Slade to make good on an old promise, and her ultimatum is simple: to find his daughter, he'll have to kill Amanda Waller, head of the Suicide Squad and Harley's jailor. But how far can anyone trust the unbalanced Harley? When Deathstroke's intel pits him against everyone from Lex Luthor's army of Bizarros to Red Hood, it's clear that there's more to this puzzle than meets the eye. Deathstroke wants answers, but more importantly, he wants his daughter back. And he's not about to let anyone stand in his way! Writers James Bonny (THE SAVAGE HAWKMAN) and Tony S. Daniel (DETECTIVE COMICS) and artists Tyler Kirkham (TEEN TITANS) and Paolo Pantalena (RED HOOD/ARSENAL) set Deathstroke on his most important mission yet in DEATHSTROKE VOL. 3: SUICIDE RUN!"--

Robin and the Making of American Adolescence
Author: Lauren R. O'Connor
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978819811
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Holy adolescence, Batman! Robin and the Making of American Adolescence offers the first character history and analysis of the most famous superhero sidekick, Robin. Debuting just a few months after Batman himself, Robin has been an integral part of the Dark Knight’s history—and debuting just a few months prior to the word “teenager” first appearing in print, Robin has from the outset both reflected and reinforced particular images of American adolescence. Closely reading several characters who have “played” Robin over the past eighty years, Robin and the Making of American Adolescence reveals the Boy (and sometimes Girl!) Wonder as a complex figure through whom mainstream culture has addressed anxieties about adolescents in relation to sexuality, gender, and race. This book partners up comics studies and adolescent studies as a new Dynamic Duo, following Robin as he swings alongside the ever-changing American teenager and finally shining the Bat-signal on the latter half of “Batman and—.”
