The cast of fantastical characters with extravagant super powers in the DC Comics universe banded together to form the Justice League of America in 1960. The team sported one Jacob amongst the throng of Goliaths: The Batman. Not only was he the only member of the JLA without any powers, he’s one of the two iconic leaders of the group. In the biblical book of Genesis, Isaac bears two sons, Esau and Jacob. Like Superman, the elder brother Esau was brave and strong…

Who is Wonder Woman? An instant Icon when she was introduced in the DC All Star Comics Issue #8.

They 're everywhere now from movies to shows, comic books, kids’ lunch boxes and backpacks. As humans we are sort obsessed with the superhero concept.

they’re still relevant. I will then talk about superhero films and how they have started, their brief history, how they’ve changed, and how westerns have influenced them as a genre. How it started. Westerns have been around in novels before film in books such as “The Lone Ranger” The American Film institute describes films as "set in the American West that embody the spirit, the struggle and the demise of the new frontier."…

does Watchmen make references to other superhero comics by parodying popular heroes, such as Captain America as the Comedian and Superman as Dr. Manhattan, but Watchmen is full of internal intertextuality, from the newspapers and advertisements that litter the streets of New York to the personal files, publications, and mementos of the heroes in the novel. The most significant of these documents are the expository materials, particularly the books, which appear at the end of each chapter and…

This is a topic that to me is a hard one to figure out. In the entertainment industry today companies are looking for the easiest way to cash in. This is evident in the fact that shows like Full House and Boy Meets World have been brought back in new form and movies are being dragged out into trilogies with the final one being split into two parts.

A great comic book is a parody of the real world with its heroes and heroines behave similarly to how an ordinary person would behave if he or she was to put in the same situation. A great comic book takes place in a world that is similar to the real world but with an added twist which has a profound but believable effect on its world. With such a heavy inspiration from the real world, it is not surprising that the world of comic books has similar social issues to that of the real world. These…

While the earlier works of the X-Men comics represent racism in society through the mutants, the more recent stories of the X-Men chronicles have largely shifted the mutant metaphor, focusing more on discrimination pertaining to individual’s sexuality (Darowski, 166). Shifting this metaphor from racial discrimination to sexual preferences as a rhetorical device, keeps the tittle relevant as time goes on (167). Coincidently or not, the X-Men, which work as an allegory to the LGBT community,…
