While much of the scholarship on superhero narratives has focused on the heroes themselves, Batman’s Villains and Villainesses: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Arkham’s Souls takes into view the depiction of the villains and their lives, arguing that they often function as proxies for larger societal and philosophical themes. Approaching Gotham’s villains from a number of disciplinary backgrounds, the essays in this collection highlight how the villains’ multifaceted backgrounds, experiences, motivations, and behaviors allow for in-depth character analysis across varying levels of social life. Through investigating their cultural and scholarly relevance across the humanities and social sciences, the volume encourages both thoughtful reflection on the relationship between individuals and their social contexts and the use of villains (inside and outside of Gotham) as subjects of pedagogical and scholarly inquiry.

SEX AND VIOLENCE: Vol. 2 SEX AND VIOLENCE volume 2 is a full color, soft cover 64 page graphic novel about crime, lust, and redemption split into three distinctively different stories sharing similar themes written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray and drawn by Romina Moranelli, Rafa Garres , Vanesa R. Del Rey, Challenging Studios and Paul Mounts. Excessive nudity and violence makes this an ADULTS ONLY title. THE THREE STORIES: The first short story is written by Jimmy Palmiotti and illustrated by Romina Moranelli called ” DADDY ISSUES” It’s about a seductive mother and daughter that have a connection and a goal they share, at any price. Giving any more away will ruin the story for you. Below are a few samples of the stunning art. The second story is RED DOG ARMY written by Justin Gray and illustrated by Rafa Garres and Challenging Studios and it is epic. After conquering Poland in only 16 days, Hitler launched a full-scale invasion of Russia called Operation Barabossa. Stalin was desperate to halt the flood of panzer tanks headed toward Moscow. As a result he authorized a special unit to train and use dogs as anti-tank weapons. Red Dog Army is the story of aging dog trainer Yuri Schlonsky who was recruited into the army against his will and sniper Valeriya Petroff as they both try to not only survive the war, but also their deranged commanding officer who is doing everything he can to make certain they fail. Below are a few samples of Rafa’s beautiful artwork. The third story is called FILTER and it is written by Jimmy Palmiotti and illustrated by Vanesa R. Del Rey, and is about a killer named Nico Gallo taking a look back on his life as a young man growing up in the tough streets of Brooklyn , New York, and the violent and murderous choices he made along the way that changed his life forever. Nothing in this story is as it seems.

In this vivid and accessible new account of the dawn of film in Britain, internationally respected film historian and curator Bryony Dixon introduces us to Britain's first cinematic pioneers – an eclectic mix of chemists, engineers, photography enthusiasts, fairground showmen and magicians – who in a few short years built a vibrant new industry. As she chronicles the emergence of the first embryonic film forms and genres, she reveals often surprising innovations, from cutting-edge science to ingeniously witty tricks and comedies, with filmmakers reflecting existing entertainment forms as well as advancing editing and cinematography in ways that shaped the art of film for many decades after. Dixon offers fresh insights by focusing on the films themselves – many of them only recently available to view – while building on the work of generations of scholars. In the process, Dixon makes a compelling case for the British filmmakers of the era as inventive and creative figures, every bit as influential as their more celebrated contemporaries in France and the US.

She's Harley Quinn, and she's come to Coney Island looking to settle down and cut loose. But where Harley goes, trouble follows. Someone's put a price on her head so big every bounty hunter in Brooklyn is looking for her.
