Marvel Boy de Grant Morrison est l'un des comic books les plus audacieux et incompris publiés par Marvel Comics. En 2000, alors que Marvel se relève difficilement après une crise sans précédent, Grant Morrison et J.G. Jones proposent une œuvre radicale et visionnaire sur le label Marvel Knights : Marvel Boy ! Associant une science-fiction psychédélique aux relents cyberpunk et une critique hargneuse des États-Unis, Marvel Boy n'a pas trouvé son public.

Episode 77 - Murdock and Marvel: 2009 Part 2 2009 was a tough year for comics, in that sales declined and a number of stores (nearly 50% in some areas) closed their doors.  Closings of Waldenbooks and other book outlets also made getting product into customers' hands difficult.  We also saw cover prices rise, even as the recession continued to impact fans ability to spend. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2009.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #113-119, 500-501, Daredevil Noir #1-4, Dark Reign: The List – Daredevil #1, New Avengers #47, Secret Invasion #8, Secret Invasion: Front Line #5, Age of Sentry #4 and 6, Fantastic Four #562 and 569, Might Avengers #20, What If? Newer Fantastic Four #1, What If? Secret Wars #1, New Warriors #20, Amazing Spider-Man #587 and 600, Marvels: Eye of the Camera #2 and 4, Ultimate Spider-Man #132, Astonishing Tales #3-5, Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #2-3, Deadpool: Suicide Kings #3-5, Exiles #6, Strange Tales #2 and Marvel 70th Anniversary Collection.  Writing: Ed Brubaker (#113-119, 500), Andy Diggle (#501) Pencils: Michael Lark (#113-114, 117-119), Lark, Tony Zonjic and Gaudiano (#115), David Aja (#116), Lark and Gaudiano (#500), Roberto De La Torre (#501) Inks: Stefano Gaudiano (#113-114, 116-119), Matt Hollingsworth (#115), Klaus Janson, Chris Samnee and Paul Azaceta (#500), Roberto De La Torre (#501) 2009 begins with the final three parts of the Lady Bullseye storyline we talked about to finish up 2008. In that we Daredevil, Black Tarantula and White Tiger along with Master Izo trying to take down the Hand once and for all – but the Hand are trying to recruit Daredevil to be their leader. The story ends with Lord Hirochi, Lady Bullseye, Black Tarantula, and White Tiger board a plane to Spain, where Lady Bullseye says they will pursue Plan B.  In March, we get the return of another old foe – Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin himself in an aptly titled story called Return of the King. In part one of the story, we see Fisk in Spain where he befriends and falls in love with a woman, Marta, and her kids – only to see Lady Bullseye and the Hand killing them causing him to revert back to his old ways.  Kingpin returns to New York and announces his return and his plans to deal with Daredevil. That plan turns out to be working with Daredevil to take down the Hand. Meanwhile, Foggy is upset that Matt constant absence from the firm confronts him and ultimately fires him.  Daredevil tries to locate Master Izo without success and begins to doubt his alliance with Kingpin, suspecting that Fisk is using the Hand and the Owl to wipe out his rivals. Fisk, still haunted by visions of Vanessa, meets with the Owl and gives him Lady Bullseye's next target – Foggy Nelson.  The conclusion of this story – is a renumbered issue 500 of Daredevil and the conclusion of Ed Brubaker on Daredevil – will be our spotlight story for this week.   In Dark Reign: The List – Daredevil #1 we see Bullseye (now operating under the Hawkeye identity) go after Daredevil at the behest of Norman Osborn. Daredevil pursues him but falls into a trap: Bullseye lures him into a building full of protestors and then blows it up. The blast kills 107 people, leaving Matt devastated and furious—determined to take action.  Following that we get the start of a new story from new creative team - Andy Diggle and Roberto De La Torre entitled The Devil's Hand. In it, we see Matt as leader of the Hand. Since most of this story takes place in 2010 – we'll save talking about it more until our 2010 discussion.

This is Tim Quinn's second time on StoryBeat.  An author, editor, and manager, Tim was born and raised in Liverpool, England, the home of The Beatles. He began his show business journey as a clown at Blackpool Tower Circus followed by working as a scriptwriter for various comedians of the period. Comic books came next as Tim worked as a writer and editor for Britain's top periodicals followed by a long stint at Marvel Comics. Alongside his comics work, Tim conducted interviews for newspapers and magazines with stars from the entertainment world followed by many years creating documentaries for London Weekend Television's South Bank Show. During that time, he was also working as an editor for The Saturday Evening Post. Tim and his wife, Jane, created the publishing company, Quill Publications, and a music business, Mighty Quinn Management. Tim's latest novel, Bigger than the Beatles, tells the story of a Liverpool boy who picked up a guitar in 1957 and went on to global success with his band, the Dream Daffodils. We follow his story across the years until his Final Death Tour in 2025. Many of Tim and Jane's real-life experiences in the music business are incorporated in the book.I've read Bigger than the Beatles and can tell you it's all that you'd expect from a Tim Quinn book: exceptional, incisive writing that's filled with a huge helping of clever humor about the Liverpool music scene.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bigger than the Beatles, and highly recommend it to you.  It's the second book of Tim's that I've had the pleasure to read; the other being The Jolly Bloodbath. Tim has also published his autobiography, Argh, which I encourage you to check out.https://sites.google.com/view/mightyquinnmanagement/home

Comics critic Oliver Sava joins the show for the eighth annual Superhero State of the Union, as we dive deep into worlds of DC, Marvel, and beyond. Sava and I discuss our overall takes on superhero comics, corporate synergy, what's leading to DC's success, editorial vision, art as proof of concept, the Absolute line, hero families, Big Two digest editions, the DC/Marvel crossovers, where Marvel is, the lack of energy in the line, the current Fantastic Four book, saying nice things about Marvel, how we would fix Marvel, superhero comics outside the Big Two, and more.

Ever been poisoned? Well two of the leads in our movies have and it doesn't seem to be a great time. First up, we learn that when Eric Roberts worked at Marvel Comics he got to hang out with Stan Lee in THE AMBULANCE. Then, we find out that Dennis Quaid is a pretty lousy teacher in D.O.A.

In this episode, recorded just after Thunderbolts* came out, Paul and I finally sat down to discuss Taika Waititi's 'Thor: Ragnarok'. A film we have a lot of love for.

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the 1939 Wizard of Oz film. How did that milestone influence your approach to adapting the story?2. You've been granted access to the film's archives—what kind of reference material or behind-the-scenes details most inspired your adaptation?3. You're launching a Kickstarter for this project this month—what can backers expect in terms of rewards, exclusives, or behind-the-scenes content?4. You're handling writing, art, and covers. How did balancing all three roles shape the way you told this story?5. You've described this as “not reinventing the wheel” but adding your interpretation. Can you share some of the ways you've put your own creative stamp on the classic?9. How do you hope this adaptation will resonate with younger readers who may be discovering The Wizard of Oz for the first time?10. What was the biggest artistic or storytelling challenge you faced in bringing Oz to life on the page?7. Any desire to make it fresh?11. (Fun) If you could click your heels and instantly visit any fictional world besides Oz, where would you go, and who would you bring with you?

Red Sonja is based on Red Sonja, which is, in turn, partially based on Red Sonya. The Red Sonya interpretation is credited as such for this movie, however it's actually based on Red Sonja, not Red Sonya. And during production, it was briefly called Red Sonia.Confused? I'm not surprised.So many Sonjas/Sonyas/Sonias. And what about Conan, I mean, Kalidor?Sonja/Sonya's evolution from Robert E. Howard's historical 16th-century warrior to Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith's iconic Marvel Comics fantasy heroine, each brought something unique to the Red Sonja legacy.Kalidor (definitely not Conan!) is in an interesting case study of Hollywood rights navigation, where creative solutions led to a character that channels the spirit of Conan while remaining legally distinct. Red Sonja's innovative approach to special effects, and the decision to shoot everything in-camera created a distinctive visual style that prioritized practical filmmaking techniques over post-production polish.While it has its flaws, Red Sonja represents an ambitious chapter in fantasy filmmaking that pushed boundaries and took creative risks, offering valuable insights into the evolution of the sword-and-sorcery genre and Hollywood's ongoing relationship with strong female protagonists.I would love to hear your thoughts on Red Sonja (1985) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

McKay delves into the liberating principle that success isn't bound by age or a rigid schedule in this latest instalment of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Throughout the episode, he drives home the point that, whether you're an early prodigy or a late bloomer, life's rewards go to those who have the courage to start, and to start again, no matter where they are on their journey.McKay brings this concept to life with the stories of a number of remarkable individuals, including the winding path of Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee, who found his true voice after 20 years in the business, and the story of Ray Kroc, who built the McDonald's empire in his fifties. He also delves into the lives of chef Julia Child, designer Vera Wang, and blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, each of whom redefined their lives by starting something new long after others might have given up. These stories clearly demonstrate that the most important step is always the next one.Main Themes:It is never too early or too late to pursue your passion or reinvent yourself.Life rewards persistence, authenticity, and grit over perfect timing.Comparing your journey to others leads to paralysis and a false sense of being behind.Early success does not guarantee a simple path, just as a late start does not preclude greatness.Your past experiences, even the challenging ones, can provide the wisdom and depth needed for future success.The end of one chapter, like a job or a dream, is not the end of your story.Starting over is not a sign of failure; it is proof that you are still fighting for your future.Embrace the support of others, as encouragement is crucial when trying again.Your worth is not defined by a timeline, but by your courage to show up.The most powerful creative work often comes from pursuing what you truly believe in.Top 10 Quotes:"In the end, life doesn't care if you started early or late. It cares that you started and that you showed up.""Life is not a race, and you are not behind.""Your worth is not tied to how early or how clean your path has been.""Don't confuse loss with defeat. The end of one chapter doesn't mean the story's over, it just means the next one is ready to be written.""Starting over isn't failure, it's proof I'm still fighting.""Sometimes the most beautiful currents take longer to find.""Life rewards persistence, authenticity, and grit over perfect timing.""What matters is that you try again."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
