Marrowbone - The Haunting Legacy...

Gayatri kumari

In the secluded countryside stands an old, mysterious house called Meadowbone, which had been abandoned for years. This eerie, yet captivating residence becomes a new home for Rose Meadowbone and her four children—Jack, Jane, Billy, and Sam—who arrive with a haunting fear in their eyes, hinting at a dark past they are trying to escape.
Little Sam, worried about the threats from their past, asks his mother if "he" will come after them. Rose reassures him with a gentle, yet firm promise that they are safe here and will find happiness in their new home. Seeking a semblance of normalcy, the family ventures into the nearby village, where they meet Ellie, a kind and spirited local girl who quickly befriends them. Ellie introduces them to the village and takes them on delightful trips to the beach, bringing brief moments of joy and distraction from their worries.
However, their brief respite is shattered as Rose's health begins to deteriorate rapidly. On her deathbed, she calls her eldest son, Jack, and entrusts him with the responsibility of caring for his siblings. She imparts a dire secret: they must keep her death a secret until Jack turns 21, as the law requires a guardian of legal age. Jack, not yet 21, promises to uphold his mother’s wishes. In a solemn and private ceremony, the children bury Rose, vowing to stay together and protect one another.
Life seems to regain a semblance of normalcy until one fateful day when Jane is attacked in their home. A bullet shatters the window, narrowly missing her. The family is thrown into chaos, their fears reignited. Jack's protective instincts kick in, but the assailant's identity remains a mystery. The incident leaves the siblings on edge, constantly looking over their shoulders.

I Am the Law - How Judge Dredd...

Michael Molcher

He is the law—and you better believe it! 
 
 
 
Judge, jury, and executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. 
 
 
 
But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into a searing satire on hardline, militarized policing and "law and order" politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humor acting as a prophetic warning about our world today—and with important lessons for our future. 
 
 
 
Blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law takes key Dredd stories from the last forty-five years and demonstrates how they provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. 
 
 
 
From the politicization of policing to "zero tolerance," from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today's "law and order" politics.
