more that pro-vide a glimpse into the making of this contemporary
classic.

Contributions by Apryl Alexander, Alisia Grace Chase, Brian
Faucette, Laura E. Felschow, Lindsay Hallam, Rusty Hatchell, Dru
Jeffries, Henry Jenkins, Jeffrey SJ Kirchoff, Curtis Marez, James

C. E. Peterson, Jayson Quearry, Zachary J. A. Rondinelli, Suzanne
Scott, David Stanley, Sarah Pawlak Stanley, Tracy Vozar, and Chris
Yogerst Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen fundamentally
altered the perception of American comic books and remains one of
the medium's greatest hits. Launched in 1986-"the year that changed
comics" for most scholars in comics studies-Watchmen quickly
assisted in cementing the legacy that comics were a serious form of
literature no longer defined by the Comics Code era of funny animal
and innocuous superhero books that appealed mainly to children.
After Midnight: "Watchmen" after "Watchmen" looks specifically at
the three adaptations of Moore's and Gibbons's Watchmen-Zack
Snyder's Watchmen film (2009), Geoff Johns's comic book sequel
Doomsday Clock (2017), and Damon Lindelof's Watchmen series on HBO
(2019). Divided into three parts, the anthology considers how the
sequels, especially the limited series, have prompted a
reevaluation of the original text and successfully harnessed the
politics of the contemporary moment into a potent relevancy. The
first part considers the various texts through conceptions of
adaptation, remediation, and transmedia storytelling. Part two
considers the HBO series through its thematic focus on the
relationship between American history and African American trauma
by analyzing how the show critiques the alt-right, represents
intergenerational trauma, illustrates alternative possibilities for
Black representation, and complicates our understanding of how the
mechanics of the show's production can complicate its politics.
Finally, the book's last section considers the themes of nostalgia
and trauma, both firmly rooted in the original Moore and Gibbons
series, and how the sequel texts reflect and refract upon those
often-intertwined phenomena.

means to the people around her? At Eisen's urging, Frieren and her
apprentice Fern head north seeking the land where heroes' souls are
said to rest, which also happens to be the location of the Demon
King's castle. Along the way, they meet Eisen's apprentice, whose
fighting skills may come in handy-though the Demon King is long
gone, his surviving minions have unfinished business with Frieren!
