Actress and producer Heather Langenkamp is best known for her role as Nancy Thompson in Wes Craven’s classic chiller A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984). Directed by Arlene Marechal, I Am Nancy is an exploration of Langenkamp's experience portraying the heroine and of the impact of the film and its antagonist, Freddy Krueger, on pop-culture. It follows Langenkamp as she attends horror conventions around the world and talks with fans about what attracts them to horror, specifically the A Nightmare on Elm Street films, and what the characters of Nancy and Freddy mean to them.
The film follows on from Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, a 2010 documentary chronicling the entire A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, which was executive produced and narrated by Langenkamp, who felt a number of issues were not explored in enough depth. By questioning why heroine Nancy was eclipsed by villain Freddy Kreuger, Langenkamp’s own investigation touches upon wider issues about hero worship, female heroism and societal gender roles. Freddy Krueger, a child killer, has been embraced as a cultural icon, while Nancy, a regular teenaged girl who faced her fears and defeated a monster by strength of will, has been relegated to the side-lines. Many rightly point out that Nancy was the first character to ever defeat Freddy, and she did so proactively, with agency and completely by herself. She faced her darkest fears, made the decision to no longer allow them to consume her and, in doing so, stripped the dream-demon of his power. It was a radical moment, its simplicity belying its powerful message. As Wes Craven (playing a fictionalised version of himself) states in Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), it was Heather who gave Nancy her strength. Yet, Freddy still stole the spotlight. Indeed, this was actually addressed head-on in Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, in the scene where Heather (who also plays a fictionalised v American politician (born 1940) "Pelosi" redirects here.

I can think of many paintings by the likes of the Bruegels, Jan Steen and Adriaen van Ostade which gave us the rosy cheeks of the well-fed peasants and maybe we were lulled into the thought that a peasant’s life wasn’t too bad and maybe one which may have suited us. Today I am going to feature a painting which looks at the reality of peasant life. It is a fine example of naturalism in art, which was a type of art that depicts realistic objects and people in their natural settings. In most cases, naturalism depicts characters in situations over which they have little or no control and where they appear to be at the mercy of powers outside themselves. Artists who practiced naturalism in their art wanted to ensure that their depictions of life were done with absolute honesty. Their artwork was to have almost photographic accuracy rather than simply an artist’s interpretation of what was before them. Naturalist painters often concentrated on the life of the lower working classes and in many works of art we see that the people portrayed have little or no control of their destiny. My painting today is not from an artist who is famous for his depiction of peasant life, nor is it an artist who is renowned for his somber-coloured works which categorises today’s featured work. In fact, quite the contrary, today’s artist is known for his bright yellows and blues and the magical swirls of his brush-strokes, none of which can be seen in today’s painting. Today’s artist is Vincent van Gogh and My Daily Art Display featured work today is entitled The Potato Eaters which he completed in 1885. This painting by Van Gogh is now looked upon as his first masterpiece and it was his hope that it would establish his status as an artist. One should remember that as far as art was concerned van Gogh was a late starter. When he was young, Nancy Pelosi

After a really rather rough second volume (discussed in this post), the current, Charles Soule-written volume of Daredevilis back to the level of quality of the firstvolume. This likely has a lot to do with the fact that pencil artist Ron Garney is back, drawing all five of the issues collected herein. It may also have a lot to do with the fact that, like the first volume and unlike the second volume, Soule apparently wrote these issues as a single arc. It's not quitecomplete enough to read like a distinct graphic novel, as it does pick up on at least one event from volume two (Elektra having broken Blindspot's arm), and there's a pretty dramatic cliffhanger ending regarding the fate of Daredevil's new sidekick, but otherwise this is a pretty self-contained comics story.
Our heroes are doing their thing, lawyering and/or law assistancing by day, fighting crime by night, and they are forced to face a sinister new villain. The papers have dubbed him "Vincent Van Gore," which is pretty good, but he personally prefers "Muse," which isn't quite as good. He's a serial killer/artist, and his first major piece being a gigantic Guernica-esque mural painted with the blood of dozens of different victims. He's also got some weird and, frankly, ill-defined powers that make him a match for Daredevil in a scrap, particularly since Daredevil can't "see" him.
And that's pretty much that: Hero vs. villain, with the latter being a brand-new villain. There's something you don't see much anymore!
Complicating matters is that Muse's second piece involves killing of several Inhumans*, and so Daredevil and Matt Murdock try to work with Medusa and New Attilan. There's another new character introduced here--a former New York City Police Department detective who got Inhuman-ized, given a neat but subtle power and who now works as a liaison between the country and the city's police--who spends the most time with DD and/or MM, but
