![]() ![]() Penders claimed he’d be starting a new comic with the characters people loved(ignoring that they were loved due to who they were in Sonic and that they obviously wouldn’t be the same now) and has yet to actually realease a single page of said comic in the many years since. Penders, meanwhile, got to keep his characters but he had to remove all connections to the Sonic the Hedgehog universe from them, essentially making a large chuck of those characters completely and utterly useless. ![]() The Sonic comic essentially lost a good chuck of it’s cast, never really recovered from said reset, and eventually ended when Archie comics lost the right die to the aforementioned bungling. So Archie has to do a universe-warping event that removed all of Pender’s characters from both the timeline and everyone’s memories as if they never existed, including Sonic’s parents, Knuckles’s entire race/family, important side characters, ect. Because Archie Comics didn’t really handle paperwork well when they had hired them, it made rights a bit complicated. ![]() ![]() When he left, he decided to sue Archie comics over the rights of said characters, saying he should receive a cut of the comics profits because they were in it. He introduced/created a bunch of characters for the comic and made the thing a bit overly complicated, but a lot of the characters became pretty integral to the plot, characters’ arcs and development, ect. Ken Penders is a freelance comic artist who worked on the Sonic the Hedgehog comic by Archie Comics. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a "second-generation survivor" born and raised in New York, she attempts to understand what it meant for her mother and maternal grandparents to live through the war in Europe in those times. ![]() Siegal provides the context, both historical and personal, while she tries to make sense of her own relationship to this past. Nina Siegal, an accomplished journalist and novelist, weaves together excerpts from the daily journals of collaborators, resistors, and the persecuted-a Dutch Nazi police detective, a Jewish journalist imprisoned at Westerbork transit camp, a grocery store owner who saved dozens of lives-into a braided nonfictional narrative of the Nazi occupation and the Dutch Holocaust, as individuals experienced it day by day. ![]() Based on select writings from an exceptional Amsterdam archive containing more than two thousand Dutch diaries from World War II, The Diary Keepers illuminates a part of history we haven't seen in quite this way before. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lovecraft, “Supernatural Horror in Literature” (1927 version), ![]() Both golems and dybbuks are fixed types, and serve as frequent ingredients of later Jewish tradition. The Dybbuk, translated and produce in America in 1925, describes with singular power the possession of a living body by the evil soul of a dead man. The former, wildly popular through the cinema a few years ago, treats of a legendary artificial giant animated by a mediaeval rabbin of Prague according to a certain cryptic formula. The best examples of its literary use so far are the German novel The Golem, by Gustav Meyrink, and the drama The Dybbuk, by the Jewish writer using the pseudonym “Ansky”. Jewish folklore has preserved much of the terror and mystery of the past, and when more thoroughly studied is likely to exert considerable influence on weird fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() “The first book brought us all the way through the first season and the second book in her series kind of jumps forward in time with a whole new cast of characters, and there was no way we weren’t going to keep writing characters because we all love them so much.” “We’re veering away from the books a lot,” executive producer Erica Saleh told us in our New York Comic Con press suite earlier this month. ![]() McManus’s One of Us is Lying novels, the basis for the Peacock drama of the same name, will notice something majorly different in the show’s second season, which launches October 20.

Born to a Jewish family in Podolia in Western Ukraine, she was brought to Brazil as an infant, amidst the disasters engulfing her native land following the First World War. ![]() ![]() Acclaimed internationally for her innovative novels and short stories, she was also a journalist. In her last novel she takes readers close to the true mystery of life, and leaves us deep in Lispector territory indeed.Ĭlarice Lispector was a Brazilian writer. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator-edge of despair to edge of despair-and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love, and the art of fiction. She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free. Living in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Cola, and her rat of a boyfriend she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly, and unloved. Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector's consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece. ![]() ![]() Sebastian’s investigation takes on new urgency when he discovers that Emma was not the first, or even the second, beautiful young woman in the village to die under suspicious circumstances.
