Issue #24, written by guest writer Dan Abnett, and illustrated by guest artist Ian Churchhill, is an improvement from the narrative from #23 for sure, or I'm just still really sour about issue #23.

This picks up from Aquaman #25, so it may leave folks a bit baffled. I love Mera-centric issues, and it seemed like a well-enough reason to have one. Thus far, the Justice League has a good line-up of filler issues. Mera takes on the entire Justice League with skills and entertainment. The art is the best part.

Churchhill does an amazing job with drawing the ocean and impact of water on Justice Leaguers. Any artist knows that water is killer to comprehend and bring to life on paper/other mediums. Mera's demonstration of tactics is powerful. This is also a wonderful representation of Wonder Woman drawn perfectly. She's big and buff, a true Amazonian. Superman's face is aesthetically pleasing, no cicatrization of masculine facial …show more content…

Batman: I suggest we take her back to the Watchtower.

Mera: Why? To replace Arthur? You are his friends!

Lately, their characterization of "newer" members such as Mera and Jessica Cruz has been off. The writers seem to make them overly dramatic and focus on uncharacteristic things. Of course, the Leaguers won't replace Arthur (as much as Robot Chicken tries to imply).

Mera: I realize that...beyond Arthur...I really haven identity, either in the ocean or on the surface.

Mere is a Queen...way to minimize her abilities and identity, narrowing her down to Aquaman. It's 2017, I had hoped a major series like Justice League would try and work with stereotypes, but no, they're writing women to be extra dramatic and painting villains with dark skin (issue #23). Honestly, I'm so thankful the DCEU is already doing a much better job, I'm curious as to who the identifying target audience is to Justice League.

Reading "Superman and Me" gave me conflicting feelings. Of course, the tale of a young boy striving to succeed in and environment where he is nearly required to fail is thrilling, yet it really makes you think of the environment itself. He was a young Indian child living on a reservation; however, he recognized that he was an intelligent person. Others around him tried to quiet him because Indian children were supposed to be dumb. Sherman Alexie wanted more out of life.

In Charlotte E. Howell’s, “Tricky” Connotations: Wonder Woman as DC’s Brand Disruptor,” Howell argues the many points on how DC Comics failed to represent Wonder Woman in a superhero leading role for many years. The author discusses how DC failed to see that the comic book industry fan base consisted not only of males, but also, many female fans as well (141-142). In addition, she points out DC’s use of the word “tricky” in regards to marketing and film production for Wonder Woman; DC Comics couldn’t come up with a way to envision an on screen leading role for Wonder Woman or how to market one (142). As a result, Howell gives examples of how the fans weaponized the term “tricky” to show DC’s business failings (141-143). Furthermore, she points out how the many scripts were leaked and how the public scrutinized the writers on their attempts to represent an accurate Wonder Woman character (144-145).

The novel All The Rage, by Courtney Summers,is a very difficult text to read and comprehend because of the awful act done to the main character, Romy Grey. As a result, no one wants to believe Romy due to her belonging to a unsuccessful family. Therefore, she does not count with the help of anyone but of her mother, stepfather and coworker/friend Leon.

Dissertation First Chapter Draft: Violence between BP and different groups (US and Blackstone Rangers) and my argument that it revealed a lack of structure of control in the federal government and a disregard for federal and constitutional law by the FBI: On September 9, 1968, Director Hoover wrote in the pages of the New York Times, that the Panther’s are regarded as “the greatest [single] threat to the internal security of the country”, Hoover’s intention in this was to increase the tension and instability that had been sown in the ranks of the Black Panther’s even since the initiation of COINTELPRO-Black Hate in 1967. Hoover, and in effect the FBI, wished to create social unrest, part of this unrest was the incitement of violence between

In 1995, American journalist and political activist Gloria Steinem wrote the essay “Wonder Woman” and published it as the introduction to her book Wonder Woman: Featuring over Five Decades of Great Covers. Steinem wrote this essay to discuss the promotion of feminism in popular media, especially in comic books. She begins the essay with a tribute to William Moulton Marston’s superheroine Wonder Woman, recounting with a nostalgic tone the hundreds of languid afternoons hiding in a tree and restless nights swaddled in blankets during which her childhood self would eagerly pore over the pages of comic books she had bought herself. Then, she switches to a more earnest tone as she compares the adventures of Wonder Woman with the societal burdens

Art Spiegelman conveys a very unique generational point of view in both Maus I and Maus II. In both stories we view a side from his father’s point of view during the war, as well as dialog between Art and his father as he tells him about all of the atrocities that happened to his friends and family. These comic books are so interesting because traditionally when we think of comic books, we think of something funny, so it is an interesting reads because that is definitely not the case in these books. We also view glimpses of the problems Vladek faces in everyday life as well. The way Spiegelman writes these stories gives him a real sense of post memory.

What really stood out to me when I first saw it was the way the lettering for the title was. The way how he has the title “Superman” looking like it was going off into the book is really cool. The next thing that really stood out to me is how he drew superman sitting on a cloud overlooking the city. This part is really cool and pretty crazy how he was able to draw it. It really stands out because while he’s sitting on the clouds overlooking the city you have the sun setting in the distance which I also really thing helps the book cover stand out to anyone who is looking at it.

In the year of 2008, DC Comics released a motion comic of Watchmen, the art style was a lot similar to the original comics, and the makers delivered the emotions of the panels through the use of depth of field, animation of the elements such as the smoke, the characters, and the environment. A year later after the release of the motion comic, Glenn McDonald (2009) stated that “Truth be told, the workmanship here is prominently better than the sloppy mass-market versions of the graphic novel. The digitalized is maybe the DVD set's greatest selling point for the fans who already have their own print release of the title.” Where he also added that the people at DC have given its audience the best comic-based TV series, regardless of the possibility

As comics have evolved, the female superheroes have been written to become solid characters independent of their male counterparts. However, despite this progression, women in comics continue to be illustrated as sexy, voluptuous, and alluring. They demonstrate strength and independence, but for the male reader, mostly sexual appeal. “If anything, the comics of today are more blatantly sexist and provocative than ever.

One thing I can say is that I may have not walked in the theatre as a fan, but I definitely came out as one. I went to see the film for one reason and one reason alone; it was the first stand-alone female superhero movie. That alone was intriguing enough, but in addition to that, the fact it was directed by a female director (first time for a studio superhero movie!) was another reason to watch it. Through this film, these talented and capable women had entered the no man’s land (pun intended) and much like Diana in the movie, they came out victorious.
