    A Giant-Sized List of Pint-Sized Ant-Man Stories

    by
    Every fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) prepares for a new movie in their own way. Some flip off their internet and hide under the covers, hoping to avoid spoilers. Others rewatch all of the other MCU movies to remind themselves of the stories that have come before. Me? I read comics.

    Alternate Origins of the Ant-Man and the Wasp

    by
    The first real retelling of Hank's origin story doesn't in 2002, almost 40 years after the original, in the Mark Millar-written and David Finch-penciled The Ultimates, a classic of Marvel's Ultimate Universe line. In it, Hank is a petty, jealous, competitive, violent scientist obsessed with proving himself smarter than Bruce Banner.

    by
    Myself and a colleague have some difficult thinking to do this week. Exciting thinking, but difficult nevertheless. So, we could book out a teaching room lined with whiteboards for the day and see what happens, but that feels too ‘inward’ … Continue reading

    Rush Rush Rush

    by
    This assignment was stressful! When given a time limit and instructions to “capture as many of the following photos as you can” I go into rush mode!

    Tips to the Test

    by
    The Abandoned America sight has a huge gallery of photos that give a sense of abandonment, loss, and desolation. These photos give this sense to those who view them because the photographers utilized some of the tips that I talked about in my last blog post. These photos are so successful in the feeling that […]

    Photography and Me

    by
    I really enjoy photography and I appreciate the art, but I am not very good at it myself. This is mostly because I do not take many pictures so I have very little experience with photography. Since I am so interested in it though, I am excited to learn how to be a better photographer. […]

    How do you answer?

    by
    What type of story do you like? I’ve encountered this question throughout my life. My dad is an Adventure/Sci-fi/Fantasy kind of guy. My mom likes mysteries and religious/biography. My sister went through her pre-teen years with multiple obsessions including Harry Potter, Warriors, Anime, and now writes her own short stories. To further her own writing […]

    The future is active – implications for future academic practice

    by
    I have been thinking about the future academic and the implications for academic development recently. The Open University’s ‘Innovating Pedagogy’ is an insightful annual report (http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/innovating/), though I would love to see one for 2018. I have seen Mike Shales … Continue reading

    The Lives and Deaths of Scott and Cassie Lang

    by
    Throughout the years, as marketing and editorial needs needs dictated it, the characters of Scott and Cassie Lang, as the superheroes Ant-Man and Stature and two of the main characters in this summer's Ant-Man and the Wasp, have been occasionally had their lives altered or ended to give a story having not that much to do with them some higher stakes. Which feels cold, but that's the soap opera part of comic books.
