![]() ![]() The Pingkang Li books are among my favourite Jeannie Lins-the historical setting is incredibly well done, the characters are flawed and problematic and come from/live in a brilliantly seedy world of courtesans and crime and everyone scrabbling to make it, the mystery subplots are engaging, the setting is bright and real and vivid, and the romances are stellar.

The film version removed the character of Pyotr Roslov who in the comic was the head of the NKVD who entered into the power struggle with Superman. The film showed some events like Brainiac’s attack on Stalingrad. Red Son did have time jumps between issues leading to events briefly explained. Scenes were added or changed to make Red Son more dramatic. Red Son was more flexible when adapting the comic book. Whenever they made an adaptation of a famous storyline like Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns and the second half of The Killing Joke, the film has stuck closely to the comic book story – even if the comic structure doesn’t work for a film. Warner Brothers have made many animated films based on DC Comics. When Superman sees Stalin’s hard methods of governing the alien resolves to run the Soviet Union as a more just nation and save the world from the evils of capitalism. This leads to the American government recruiting Lex Luthor (Diedrich Bader) to come up with a way to defeat the alien being. In 1955 the Soviet Union announced to the world that they have Superman, changing the balance of power in the Cold War. One of the most famous was Mark Millar’s Superman: Red Son which showed what would happen if Superman was brought up in the Soviet Union. DC Comics has a great legacy of making Elseworld stories about their popular characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Maybe you haven't noticed, but everyone shares the same brain around here."Sometimes, when you get something new, you trick yourself into believing it has the power to change absolutely everything about you."

Yes, she is retarded because I sure can’t figure out how a person can behave the way she does. The perfect girl, pure, sweet hearted, kind, shy, invisible, smart, always does her homework, reminds the teacher that she forgot to check the class’ homework, fucking retarded twit. It was telling me ”Put the book down and walk away.” As you can tell I chose to ignore it.Īaanyways, lemme tell you what Sweet Evil is all about. Ok, it’s not THAT bad but I still had a feeling deep down my heart. Running had become my new pastime five weeks ago, after I’d read how my body is the “temple of my soul.” Healthy temple: check. I could tell I was going to regret getting it since page one. Sweet Evil is the most idiotic book I’ve read this year. However, that doesn’t mean it makes it less painful. I admit it and I know it’s my fault, and I probably deserve what I got. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() No stranger to accolades and awards, Urasawa received the 20 Eisner Award for Best U.S. Many of his books have spawned popular animated and live-action TV programs and films, and 2008 saw the theatrical release of the first of three live-action Japanese films based on 20th Century Boys. Well-versed in a variety of genres, Urasawa’s oeuvre encompasses a multitude of different subjects, such as a romantic comedy ( Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl), a suspenseful human drama about a former mercenary ( Pineapple ARMY story by Kazuya Kudo), a captivating psychological suspense story (Monster), a sci-fi adventure manga ( 20th Century Boys), and a modern reinterpretation of the work of the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka ( Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka co-authored with Takashi Nagasaki, supervised by Macoto Tezka, and with the cooperation of Tezuka Productions).

Among the longest are the hymn To Demeter, which tells the foundational story of the Eleusinian Mysteries and To Hermes, distinctive in being amusing. The Hymns range widely in length: two are over 500 lines long several run only a half dozen lines. Here too is a collection of ancient accounts of the poet's life. A collection of thirty-three such poems has come down to us from antiquity under the title "Hymns of Homer." This new Loeb Classical Library volume contains, in addition to the Hymns, fragments of five comic poems that were connected with Homer's name in or just after the Classical period (but are not today believed to be by the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey).
