The result has Roy Lichtenstein flair while still being uniquely Ross. To nod to the print style of Lee and Kirby’s day, Ross also shook up his painting process, opting for flat coloring, swapping watercolor for black ink, shading in a whole new style, and adding a digital dot screen effect. The 64-page Fantastic Four: Full Circle finds Ross as both artist and writer for the first time, returning to a number of Stan Lee/Jack Kirby plot lines from the 1960s, specifically Fantastic Four #51, which sam Ben Grimm meet his doppelganger in the antimatter universe. But in his new graphic novel, he steps outside his comfort zone into the Negative Zone to imbue Marvel’s first family with mind-melting psychedelic energy. From his acclaimed work in the graphic novel Kingdom Come to countless iconic covers (including a recent run on Immortal Hulk) and illustrations that gave Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy a soul, Ross’ style ties the past, present, and future of comic characters through works that could easily fit alongside fine art. Over the last 30 years, comic artist Alex Ross has redefined the Marvel and DC hero pantheon through hyperrealistic painting.

Anton is taken away and after being interrogated, is taken to his aunt and uncle in Amsterdam. In retaliation, the Nazis burn down his house and his parents and older brother are killed. Fake Ploeg, a member of the Dutch Nazi party, is shot dead and then moved by the neighbours to the front of twelve-year-old Anton’s house in Haarlem. The chronological story then begins during the famine of 1945, near the end of the Second World War. The chapters are preceded by a prologue in which we learn about the place where the events take place and meet the protagonist, Anton Steenwijk. These traces gradually become clearer in the course of the story, which is told in five episodes, like the five acts in a Greek tragedy. The theme is introduced using a motto from the Epistulae of Pliny the Younger, about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius: a darkness that abruptly falls and still leaves its mark years later in the form of a cloud of ash. The novel is also “classic” in its clear structure and in the subtle reference it makes to literature from antiquity, both in its theme and form. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Mist Bound by Daryl KhoThe guest-of-honour will be Mr Ng Cher Pong, Chief Executive Officer of the National Library Board Singapore.Īll the authors and illustrators are first time short-listees, whose books contain “strong imaginings… thought-provoking insights and observations, and portrayals of beauty,” as described by the HABA 2022 judges.

There is also no grasp of the politics of representation: the show is full of national and racial stereotyping, most notably in the Bangkok scene. It doesn’t help that it is often hard to hear the words, even though everyone is almost always shouting. An evening that requires two pages of synopsis is one with a storytelling problem. Tim Rice’s book is a great lumbering thing and Laurence Connor’s slack production seems to work on the premise that if there’s enough flashy video you will be too stunned to notice that this is a musical devoid of characterisation with a plot doesn’t make sense. The latter brings musical and emotional light and shade to an underwritten role which predominantly requires her to stare into the middle distance and look sad. There are some great songs – most notably I Know Him So Well, which is beautifully delivered by Janson and Burke. Underwritten role … Alexandra Burke in Chess. I think she genuinely believes that no one is bad on purpose, that every soul has some good in it, and she looks for it constantly. It was also amazing to see Amberly trying so hard to find the positive in him, and in his mother, despite her less-than-kind experiences. Watching the abuse and worry he dealt with firsthand made me see how time and fear could shape a person into someone who is, by most accounts, evil. It was interesting, to say the least, to see not only Amberly as a teenager but also Clarkson. So how did this magical woman fall for someone the likes of Clarkson Schreave? She’s charming, smart, gracious, beautiful and though she’s seen her share of sadness, she tries to be joyful. As a mother, I look at her with a sort of awe. This story was one I was kind of aching to discover myself. 6/5/2023 0 Comments Chicken little ed emberleyOnce within Foxy Loxy, however, even these bird brains begin to see the downside of the inside: "Step into this warm, dark cave where the sky cannot fall on you!" Fox offers, opening his toothy jaws wide, and the easily fooled fowl rush inside. ACK! ONK! OOP!īut the world is a perilous place for poultry without a plan, and as the barnyard fowl scramble to park their assets in a safe haven, they meet up with the man with a plan-Foxy Loxy, who offers a shelter for the panicked poultry: On his way to wherever he is running, Chicken Little meets up with the usual suspects-Henny Penny, Lucky Ducky, Loosey Goosey, and Turkey Lurkey, who panic when a downturn in the acorn crop finds its mark on their noggins, too. "The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Run for your lives!" He grabbed his umbrella and ran out into the world without much of a plan. "Oh, my goodness, oh, my gracious," he exclaimed. And when that acorn bonks him on the head, he makes a prediction: EEP! Chicken Little may not be the brightest chicken in the coop, but he knows a leading indicator when he sees one. 6/5/2023 0 Comments Musicals by jonathan larsonThe Breakthrough Theatre is located at 419A W.

While the percentage of LGBTQ characters of color increased slightly in 2021, no transgender or non-binary characters were added. According to the 2021 GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index, 22.7 percent of films released by Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, STX films, United Artists Releasing, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, and Warner Bros. However, LGBT members continue to be underrepresented and typecast. In 2018, Love, Simon was recognized as the first film from a major Hollywood studio that familiarized young male homosexuality and its accompanying hardships to a larger, non-specialized audience. In 2016, Moonlight, a coming-of-age drama about a young African American man's struggle with identity and sexuality, became not only the first LGBT movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, but also the first LGBTQ film with an all-black cast. While there may not be many prominent LGBT characters in the current mainstream media, the community has achieved significant milestones in recent years. The media has made some progress toward more equitable representation of members of the LGBT community. |
