Okay, so this is how this is going to work… The deep book review will be split into different sections, one where I will dump a bunch of information about the storyline on the reader, another where I will rant about what makes this book deep but not good, and, finally, another about the author. The footnotes will be my way of interjecting Laszlo-esque commentary on what would normally be a more formal piece of writing without drastically altering the formality of the review.

a vigilante with abilities such as immortality, enhanced healing factors, master assassin, swordsman, and marksman.

“Well that 's a good observation. John is a very common name. So many great men are named John. My father being one of them. I’m John Junior and my father is John Senior. It is a name with power my mother will always say.”

Erik Larson’s purpose of “Dead Wake” is to create a real-life feel of the events that actually occurred on the Lusitania. It seems as if he wanted to take the evidence he acquired and create a story that would capture readers attention by the emotional connection with the characters and provide them with a map, letters, and other documents. He also seemed to want to educate his readers not only on the sinking of the ship, but all of the events that happened on the days it were at sail. Although he wrote nonfiction, he makes it as real as he can with all of the telegrams he provides.

Vanessa was not in love with Logan as he was but Logan as he could be; sensitive, understanding man aware of her inner turmoils, and she fails to realise that her inner conflicts- and the outward appearance of them- are affecting her relationship with Logan. The personal uncertainty she has of herself deprives her of the sincerity needed to make their relationship work, and the scruples that she has been taught lead her to except those same scruples in other people. Vanessa’s relationship with Logan ultimately dissolved because she is unable to accept him for who he really is.

“It is preferable not to travel with a dead man” Henri Michaux Dead Man is a 1995 film written by and directed Jim Jarmusch. This film could be viewed as the ideal version of an acid western with its psychedelic western theme. Jarmusch utilized throughout the film the feeling of revisionist western by utilizing the darkness that looms in the film. A revisionist western has the ideals and styles of traditional westerns with an underlying gloomy tone, and at some points fascinating and captivating.

Vanessa is played by Morena Baccarin who is an escort and also Wade Wilson’s fiancé. She can be described as not being the typical damsel in distress but a stoic lady with questionable morals.

The side effects of the program caused him to experience super human strength in addition to lacking the capacity to feel pain. Weasel is Wade Wilson’s best friend and is played by T. J Miller. His character is mostly that of an individual who portrays humuour to match that of Deadpool. He lacks any superhero ability but provides his fair share of comic relief during the course of the movie.

“And the story ends with none of this having been changed,” Anthony M. states in his article Retro Review: “Daredevil: Born Again” published back in March 2016. Many comic readers can reflect with this statement due to the simple fact that many comic books never change its concept. Comic books usually stay consistent now-a-days. Their is a superhero, a super-villain, something in distress, and a semi-violet story line. With time, things evolve and change to adapt to new cultures, ideas, and eras. Although, this consistency had to start somewhere. Comic book fans can argue that many different comics are a huge influence on todays comics. There are two comics in particular that really play to this equation. The issues presented in Daredevil:

When asked what makes the character of Spider-Man so popular, most people would probably say that it is due to his relatability. Peter Parker is just a kid, like all of us are or were, and that instantly makes him accessible to a wide audience. However, I never thought about that when I was a child. I grew up on the Sam Raimi films, which I still hold near and dear to my heart. I suppose I wasn’t smart enough at the time to realize the massive appeal of the Spider-Man character. For me, Spider-Man was just cool because of his colorful costume and his amazing powers. I was just a kid who loved awesome superheroes, and Spidey checked that box. Having graduated high school and preparing for college, I am now more aware of subtleties and nuances in film, while still retaining that childlike excitement for massive blockbusters. I have been anticipating the latest Spidey film for a very long time, and upon viewing the film twice, I’ve realized a glorious truth. For the first time in my life, at the age of 18, I finally related to the character on a deeper level than I ever thought possible, and that is what makes this film shine.
