Publication Dates: January 2006 – October 2008 Little did I know, All-Star Superman would help me explain the very existence of Action Comics as a comic book trove.Ĭomic Book Run: Absolute All Star Superman Seemed like a fun idea to read All-Star Superman before Morrison’s new take on Supes in Action Comics. More on all these particular comics at a later date – for now, I mention this to explain why I felt so suddenly compelled to consume Grant Morrison‘s All-Star Superman, a giant omnibus edition I’ve admired on my shelves for half a year now. The DC New 52 has roped me into buying issues 1-8 of both Animal Man and Action Comics. It was with some hesitation, then, that I recently branched out into the the world of comic shops and single issue arcs. ![]() AT LEAST THEY’RE WHOLE! MOSTLY! A LOT OF THE TIME! This is why I’m so into collecting trade paperback issues/graphic novels/whatever you want to call them. Each issue is merely a component of a greater design and it’s generally not until they’re taken together that they form an arc (40 cubits by 40 cubits). Comic books – in there purest form – are serial testaments to a realm of unfinished story. ![]() This is, perhaps, odd for an individual so desperately in love with the medium, but I prefer my stories whole (just like my women! wait… well, never mind). I’ve never been much of a comic book collector. ![]()

It was based on the rationale that there were imminent internal and external threats to the Indian state.

The Emergency is one of the most controversial periods of Indian history since its independence. ![]() Several other human rights violations were reported from the time, including a mass campaign for vasectomy spearheaded by her son Sanjay Gandhi. For much of the Emergency, most of Gandhi's political opponents were imprisoned and the press was censored. ![]() The order bestowed upon the Prime Minister the authority to rule by decree, allowing elections to be cancelled and civil liberties to be suspended.

In the 1860s, Matthew Arnold entertained the idea that literature could replace religion as a tool to interrogate moral questions and explore the unknown. This apparent "lack" of faith isn't really a lack at all, but rather an opportunity for the characters to create their own language and traditions regarding the ruins of death. While religious people reach for a Bible when bereaved, the characters in Grief, like many, don't appear to subscribe to any sort of faith. Dad openly discusses and bemoans the obviousness of his imaginary friend- of course the Hughes scholar with a wife who suddenly died would choose as his hallucinatory grief counselor the primary symbol of his subject's poetry-but Porter's choice to make the obvious choice offers his characters (and readers) a secular way of dealing with death. ![]() ![]() ![]() The way he watches me sends heat sizzling through my insides.
