'J Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who inspired the recently released Christopher Nolan biopic Oppenheimer, was Jewish. Although he did his best to assimilate, he was fundamentally and thoroughly of the tribe. Cillian Murphy, as you might ascertain from his name, is not.
Murphy has won acclaim from critics and the public for his portrayal of the tortured scientist behind the atomic bomb since the film’s release last week.
While many people probably don’t care about Oppenheimer’s faith or indeed Murphy’s, as with so many things, the Jewish community is split over the perennial issue of “jewface.” At its most simple, this is the idea is that the Jewish experience is something unique and that Jewish actors should always be favoured for roles where the character is Jewish.
The debate has taken many iterations over the years, notably last year when Dame Maureen Lipman questioned whether Dame Helen Mirren could do justice to the role of Golda Meir, Israel’s first female prime minister.
In his oft-cited book and subsequent documentary, both entitled Jews Don’t Count, David Baddiel makes the argument that if any other minority’s characters were given to people not of that ethnic background there would be outrage and an almost guaranteed cancellation. He’s right: thankfully the use of blackface and yellowface have been drummed out of polite society.
This is where I depart from the jewface school of thought. Where some would argue that to have a Cillian play an Oppenheimer or a Mirren play a Meir is to diminish their Judaism, I’m more open-minded. To state the obvious point, acting is acting. Actors like Mirren and Murphy take their craft seriously, to often incredibly moving results, and they are more than capable of inhabiting the minds and bodies of historic figures and doing them justice – not to mention producing films that stand on their own purely from an artistic perspective.
Secondly, as long as the writing and direction of the story mentions their Judaism if and when it’s relevant (as Oppenheimer does) then why does it matter who takes the role? To people like Baddiel, Jews in Hollywood are Schrodinger’s Jews, simultaneously different and unique and also able to play any non-Jew they want to, both assimilated and not. Either we are part of the mainstream or we’re not.
To play devil’s advocate, should there not be Italian voices trying to say that the Jewish James Caan should not have played Sonny Corleone? Should Paul Newman have only been in Exodus and no other films? Frankly it’s a position that doesn’t hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.
It’s especially ludicrous when you consider how most Jews would not know or care that Jason Biggs, whose portrait of American suburban Jewish neurotic made American Pie, is not Jewish. That Rachel Sennott, who stole the show in the achingly Jewish angst drama Shiva Baby, is Catholic and Italian. Who cares that Meg Ryan’s pitch perfect channelling of Nora Ephron’s anxieties was performed by a very gentile gentile.
With the right scripts, actors can and should be allowed to portray Jewish stories.
I don’t want to live in a world where Jews are giving ourselves another reason to be othered, to insultingly say that being ethnically Jewish, even tenuously, is a better qualification for a role than whether you can act well.
There is an important conversation to have about stereotypes about Jews, about the way that Jewish characters are written and the way Jewish stories are told. But actors are often at the blunt end of a writer’s words, doing their best to portray a character from the script that’s placed in front of them. The decisions that actually matter about how Jews are represented are made long before people show up on set.
Historically, Jews have assimilated into tolerant societies by rejecting diktats and quotas, and embracing the open-mindedness necessary to make great art. I don’t like it when people perform Jews badly, but the alternative proposed by critics like Baddiel is not the answer.
To insist on this form of token representation is a very clunky and indelicate way of seeing the world. It’s reductive and patronising and culturally naive, and worse: it will lead us to bad films.'

Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor
I fell down a bit of a heraldry rabbit hole recently and decided to spend several hours compiling info about the Penvellyn family off the wiki and then used online heraldry resources to analyze their individual coat of arms. Did the game devs intend the shields to be interpreted this way? Probably not. But if I dont over-analyze 20 year old childrens computer games what else am I going to do with my life??
Here are all the people whose portraits hang in the great hall along with info we learn about them from Jane (and occasionally Nigel), their coat of arms, and my amateur interpretation of the symbolism.
Randulf ( - 1401)
“Randulf the Red, so named for his bright red hair, was considered a hero at the Battle of Poitiers. For his heroism, King Edward III awarded him with the lands in the region called "Penvellyn". That's how we got our name.”
Randulf's coat of arms says "IN HOC SIGNO" which translates to "in this sign (you will conquer)"
Comet; unknown in heraldry but refers to the family treasure
Red; Military might, warrior.
(putting the rest under the cut to save you much scrolling)
Odo (1354 – 1404)
“Yeah, he isn't very exciting, really. Liked farming and cows. His son Milo is much more interesting.”
“Those Manuscripts are very old and brittle. They date back to the 14th century. Odo Penvellyn collected most of them. His father Randulf and son Milo were rather more interested in military victories than in book collecting.”
Odo's coat of arms says "PROSPERITAS" which translates to "success".
Milo (1376 – 1423)
Green; Hope, joy, loyalty
Deer/hart; One who will not fight unless provoked, peace and harmony
“Milo inherited not only his grandfather's red hair but his military prowess. Milo was instrumental in the Siege of Caen and was awarded even more lands by Henry V.”
Milo's coat of arms says "VICTUM INVIDEO SILENTE" which translates to "the conquered shall envy the dead".
Hugo (1401 – 1466)
Comet; unknown in heraldry
Red; Military might, warrior
Teardrop; “One who has endured torrents”
“Um, he had a lot of kids, and his dates were 1401 to 1466.”

Albert (1427 – 1508)
Bee; Industrious, diligent
Acorn; Antiquity, strength
Red; Military might, warrior
Green; Hope, joy, loyalty
“He was very mysterious and the people of Blackmoor were afraid of him because he knew all these scientific things. No one knows much about him, though.”
Albert's coat of arms says "TIMENDI CAUSA EST NESCIRE" which translates to "ignorance is the cause of fear".
Edmund (1447 – 1499)
Book (open); Manifestation, knowledge
Blue; Truth, loyalty
Green; Hope, joy, loyalty
“He was into cows. He did a lot of breeding of cows and sheep and got some kind of award from the King.”

James (1560 – 1650)
Eagle (2 heads); Joining 2 strong forces
Purple; Nobility and justice

“He never married but one day, when he was very old, a baby was found on the doorstep to the manor. He took her in and raised her as his own. That was Elinor.”

Elinor (1626 – 1650)
Maltese cross; Blessings, protection
Red; Military might, warrior
Green; Hope, joy, loyalty
Blue; Truth, loyalty

Iconic Mont Saint-Michel Abbey celebrates 1,000 years
By Solène Tadié
13 June 2023
It was exactly a millennium ago that the first stone of the abbey church of Mont Saint-Michel in French Normandy was laid.
The monument that the poet Victor Hugo called the “Khéops of the West” has since become one of the highest symbols of French Catholic identity and one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world, with more than 3 million visitors a year.
This important anniversary will give rise to a number of celebrations that will continue through the fall of 2023.
Standing on relatively inhospitable terrain, enthroned on a rocky islet less than a kilometer in diameter, surrounded by a vast sandy plain subject to the vagaries of the tides, the UNESCO World Heritage Site has stood the test of time, offering itself as a spectacle for dozens of generations to see.
Indeed, the history of this place of prayer and pilgrimage was as precarious and tumultuous as its surroundings.
While the construction of the present abbey church dates back to 1023, a first church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel is said to have been built as early as 708 on the mount, then known as Mont-Tombe.
According to “Revelation,” the oldest text reporting the context of the abbey’s construction (written around the beginning of the 11th century), St. Aubert, then-bishop of Avranches, was visited three times in a dream by the archangel, who instructed him to erect a sanctuary in his honor on the summit of the site “so that he whose venerable commemoration was celebrated at Mont Gargan [the first great shrine dedicated to the Leader of the Celest Army, in the Puglia region of Italy] might be celebrated with no less fervor in the middle of the sea.”
St. Aubert undertook the building of a first church with the capacity of about a hundred people, consecrated in October 709 and given the name Mont-Saint-Michel-au-péril-de-la-Mer.
The prelate installed 12 canons there, responsible for praying the Divine Office and welcoming local pilgrims.
The canons were replaced in the 10th century by Benedictine monks at the behest of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, who had little taste for the canons’ opulent lifestyle.
In 1023, the order undertook the construction of the abbey church we know today, based on three rock-cut crypts and the former chapel.
This ambitious project marked a decisive step in the international outreach of the site, where miracles abounded as the flow of pilgrims from all over Christendom expanded.
“This edifice is like Noah’s ark laid over the crypts,” said François Saint-James, a guide and lecturer at Mont Saint-Michel, in an interview with Le Devoir newspaper, underlining the architectural prowess required for this medieval project.
“It was a time when France was covered with a white cloak of churches, as a monk from Cluny once wrote. You have to imagine the gigantic scale of the work.
The granite blocks were cut on the Chausey islands, 34 kilometers from here.
Caen stone, a soft, light stone that’s easy to carve, was used. ... When, in the midst of the Hundred Years’ War, the Romanesque choir collapsed, it was rebuilt in flamboyant Gothic style.”
While the abbey’s architectural evolution continued uninterrupted until the 19th century, one of its highest points was the construction of “La Merveille” (The Wonder) in the 13th century, a jewel of Norman Gothic art.
It consists of two buildings on three levels, supported by high buttresses, with a cloister and refectory, 80 meters above sea level, beneath which were built an almshouse, a storeroom, and guest rooms.
The fame of the shrine started to decline in the 17th century, when part of the abbey was turned into a prison by the royal power.
Seized by central government during the revolution, it became a detention center for priests deemed hostile to the Jacobin terror.
In the 19th century, the site, listed as a historic monument in 1874, was gradually returned to monastic life and its original vocation as a sanctuary.
The abbey’s distinctive silhouette was further enhanced by a neo-Gothic spire in 1897, topped by a gilded statue of the archangel.
To mark its 1,000th anniversary, a special tribute is being paid to the abbey that many have dubbed the “Wonder of the West” with the exhibition “La Demeure de l’Archange” (The Archangel’s Abode), retracing its glorious and tumultuous history through some 30 masterpieces, until November 5.
Many of these items, which include sculptures, scale models, statues, and silverware, will be on display to visitors to the abbey for the first time.
Another highlight of the many celebrations taking place over the summer and part of the autumn will be the “Millennium Solstice,” a never-before-seen light show projected onto Mont Saint-Michel from various spots in the bay on the evening of June 23.
The beauty of this sacred site, trodden by millions of pilgrims over the centuries, has been celebrated and immortalized in the writings of many great men of letters over the last few centuries, from Gustave Flaubert to Théophile Gautier and Victor Hugo.
In particular, it inspired the novel “Les Merveilles du Mont Saint-Michel” (1879) by the prolific writer Paul Féval.
He had already paid tribute to the monument a few years earlier, in “La Fée des grèves,” with these lines often quoted by admirers of the famous Mont:
“Twilight broke. Mont-Saint-Michel was the first to emerge from the shadows, offering the golden wings of its archangel to the reflections of the dawning dawn; then the sides of Normandy and Brittany lit up in turn.
Then again, a sort of light steam seemed to rise from the receding sea, and all was veiled except for the statue of Saint Michael, which dominated this wide ocean of mist.”

There were some men whose genius and virtues would have adorned any age. Among these was Gerbert, Pope Sylvester II. (died 1003), whose attainments in science led to the legend that he was in communication with the devil. Lanfranc (1005-89), the monk of Bec and Caen, whom William the Conqueror appointed to the see of Canterbury, is still renowned for his great logical ability and biblical scholarship. Anselm (1033-1109) merited the praise which Dante bestowed upon him as among the worthiest spirits he saw in paradise. Bérenger (998-1088), though discredited 8for heresy, possessed a prowess and independence of mind which made him the forerunner of the later Reformers. Hildebrand (1020(?)-85), however we may reprobate the hardness of his ambition and the tyrannical nature of his projects, must be recognized as among the greatest of mankind for astuteness of judgment and ability to execute the most gigantic and hazardous plans. Abélard (1079-1142) was a lad of sixteen at the time of the first crusade, but had begun to puzzle his teacher, William of Champeaux, in his dialectical tilts, deriding the obsolete method of inquiry, and declaring that it was more sport to debate than to fight in a tournament. Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153), whose pen was to control Christendom for a generation, and whose sainthood shines through all ages, was in the nursery when the soldiers of the cross started for the East. There were noble women, too. Bernard owed much of his talent and virtue to his mother, Aletta, whose memory is the imperishable ornament of womanhood. The great Countess Matilda spoke many languages, was chosen counsellor of Pope Gregory VII., and won her place in Dante’s catalogue of saints as the celestial messenger heralding the chariot throne of the glorified Beatrice. The praise of the great crusading captain Godfrey halos his mother, Ida of Bouillon, to whom he confessed that, next to the grace of God, he owed whatever goodness made him beloved of men.

Nicolaes van Verendael - Vanitas wit skulls -
Nicolaes van Verendael or Nicolaes van Veerendael (1640 in Antwerp – 1691 in Antwerp) was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp who is mainly known for his flower paintings and vanitas still lifes. He was a frequent collaborator of other Antwerp artists to whose compositions he added the still life elements. He also painted a number of singeries, i.e, scenes with monkeys dressed and acting as humans.
Veerendael painted a number of still lifes with a vanitas motif. Vanitas still lifes were very popular in the 17th century in Flanders and the Dutch Republic. The objects in these still lifes evoke the transient nature of earthly goods and pursuits, the role of chance in life and its apparent meaninglessness. Stock symbols expressing these ideas include skulls, extinguished candles, empty glasses, wilting flowers, dead animals, smoking utensils, watches, mirrors, books, dice, playing cards, hourglasses and musical instruments, musical scores, various expensive or exclusive objects such as jewellery and rare shells. The term vanitas is derived from the famous line Vanitas, Vanitas. Et omnia Vanitas in the Vulgate translation of the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. In the King James Version this line is translated as "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity".
These vanitas paintings were informed by a Christian understanding of the world as a temporary place of ephemeral pleasures and torments from which humanity’s only hope of escape had been offered by the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ. While most of these symbols reference earthly accomplishments (books, scientific instruments, etc.), pleasures (a pipe), sorrows (symbolised by a peeled lemon), the transience of life and death (skulls, soap bubbles, empty shells) and the role of chance in life (dice and playing cards), some symbols used in these paintings carry a dual meaning: a rose or an oar of grain refers as much to the brevity of life as it is a symbol of the resurrection of Christ and thus eternal life.
An example of a vanitas still life by Veerendael is the Vanitas with skulls (Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen). The painting shows similarities with another vanitas work called Vanitas still life with a bunch of flowers, a candle, smoking implements and a skull in the Galleria Franchetti at the Ca' d'Oro, Venice dated 1679. The vanitas elements in the latter work have been attributed to the Antwerp painter Hendrick Andriessen. Both paintings contain the token vanitas symbols such as the candle stick, pipe and pipe cleaner, wilted flowers, crumpled up books. The skull too may be one and the same. In the Venice painting vanitas symbols such as the drop of water and the soap bubble are included.

Happiness in Honfleur
With James on a school geography trip to Iceland, and Will (supposedly) mid-A-Level revision, Eddie and I decided a trip away a deux was long overdue. At home we have a painting of Honfleur depicting the harbour as it would have been around two hundred years or so ago. Working out we could book Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth to Caen, and then it’s only a 30 minute drive to Honfleur, it was a…

Il Bolgia di Bergamo, tempio della musica elettronica sull'A4, ogni weekend è palcoscenico fisso per i top dj del mondo. Sabato 2 marzo 2024 è la volta del francese Nico Moreno e di Under The Moon. Il primo è da tempo un artista da tutto esaurito in Europa. Il secondo, invece, è un duo in forte ascesa nel panorama elettronico.
Nato a Caen, in Francia, mezzo milione di fan su Instagram, Nico Moreno è uno dei produttori simbolo della scena techno rave industrial, ossia un suono che spinge su energia e ritmo. A 20 anni è già in studio. La sua techno è veloce, le casse sono potenti, incisive. Fonda etichette, tra le altre Blvckplvgue e Insolent Rave Records. Arrivano i supporti da colleghi importanti, Rebekah o Luca Agnelli su tutti. La sua musica fa il giro delle super etichette: Grounded, Blvckplvgue, Raven Sigh, Wrongnotes. Il suo calendario è un susseguirsi di dj set, tra festival e top club europei e non solo. Eccolo, tra gli altri, dopo il set al Bolgia il 2 marzo, al Plaça de l'Univers di Barcelona, il prossimo 10 marzo. A febbraio 2024 vede invece la luce, sulla citata sua label Insolent, la potentissima "You Can't Stop The Movement".
Impetuoso e potente è anche il suono e lo stile di Under The Moon, protagonista spesso in club ed eventi di riferimento proprio con Nico Moreno nei top club europei. Il suo sound è semplicemente irresistibile per chi ha voglia di muoversi a ritmo di techno che non lascia il respiro. Tra le sue produzioni più ascoltate su Spotify c'è una scatenata cover di "Aserejé" delle Las Ketchup decisamente più intensa dell'originale.
Aperto anche il giardino elettronico del Bolgia, ossia la Garden Room, con il party Groovers. Mentre nella Lab Room la festa è Fade Made. Il Bolgia apre alle 23.30 e si balla fino alle 6 del mattino.
L'appuntamento di sabato 2 marzo 2024 al Bolgia di Bergamo con Nico Moreno e Under The Moon è soltanto l'ennesimo di livello per questo top club. Qui si sono esibiti super dj come I Hate Models, 999999999, Deborah De Luca, Indira Paganotto, Joseph Capriati, klangkuenstler, Wade, Trym, Pawsa, Dennis Cruz, Cloonee, Patrick Maso , Charlies Parks, Reinier Zonneveld, Stella Bossi, Ilario Alicante, Jame Hype, Len Faki, Ellen Allien, Franchino e molti altri.

INDIOS CAEN EN DUELO DE PODER A PODER ANTE ALGODONEROS
Ciudad Juárez, Chih., domingo 6 de agosto de 2023.-Desafortunadamente para los Indios esta viene a ser su octava derrota en casa dentro de la ronda de playoffs de la Liga Estatal de 2021 a la fecha, y la segunda en semifinales, además de quedar al borde de la eliminación por parte de los actuales monarcas estatales, con lo cual se extendería a 24 años la sequía de un título estatal para la "tribu", mientras que Delicias va por el tricampeonato
Ciudad Juárez, Chih., domingo 6 de agosto de 2023.-En un ‘agarrón del chongo’, con ánimos caldeados que incluyó un vaciado de bancas en la quinta entrada y que se mantuvo en el alambre hasta la novena entrada, los Indios de Ciudad Juárez sucumbieron la noche del sábado ante los Algodoneros de Delicias tres carreras por dos, en el Estadio Juárez.
Con el revés, la escuadra indígena está abajo ahora dos juegos a cero en las semifinales de la Liga Estatal MEXBET 2023, ante los actuales tricampeones Algodoneros.
Un jonrón solitario del receptor Alonso Mendoza en cuenta de tres bolas y dos strikes a lanzamiento del relevista José Ángel ‘Serafo’ Hernández marcó el rumbo del juego, definió el duelo y le dio a los delicienses su segunda victoria en la serie de semifinales sobre la escuadra indígena, ahora por la mínima ventaja.
Candente con el bat en esta serie, Mendoza -quien ayer dio triple, doble y cuadrangular- se dio por ponchado en su turno después que alcanzó a pellizcar una pelota para foul e incluso ya se iba al dugout cuando se percató que su conteo estaba en 2-2.
Después de una bola mala de Hernández y con la cuenta de ‘puños cerrados’, Mendoza la depositó del otro lado de la barda entre left y center para el éxito algodonero.
En el round dos de la batalla entre indígenas y delicienses, los visitantes le pusieron número a la pizarra en la parte alta del segundo rollo frente a los lanzamientos del abridor zurdo Rodolfo Aguilar, quien cumplió con una buena salida de cinco entradas completas y dos carreras admitidas.
Tras ponche de Aguilar Neri a Alexis ‘Oso’ Sáenz para el primer mate, el receptor Mendoza conectó batazo a la pradera derecha que el outfielder Yahir Gurrola perdió de vista.
La pelota picó en terreno bueno y Mendoza, pelotero con roce en las sucursales de la organización de los Dodgers de los Ángeles avanzó hasta la antesala y ya con dos outs entró a la registradora con sencillo al central del jardinero Ildefonso Amaya.
Abajo en el marcador electrónico del inmueble de Avenida Juárez y Reforma, los indígenas respondieron en el cierre del tercer capítulo y el juego empezó de nuevo.
El bateador designado Carlos ‘Hulk’ Díaz recibió golpe de parte del abridor Ricardo Hernández, Yahir Gurrola pegó sencillo a la pradera izquierda y Eudor García fue dominado con machucón al pitcher.
Con Díaz en la antesala y Gurrola en la intermedia, Víctor Ruiz conectó sencillo y empujó a ‘Hulk’ con la rayita del empate, 1-1.
En la jugada, Gurrola Rivera intentó anotar, pero fue puesto fuera en la goma para el segundo mate.
Miguel Rodríguez fue dominado con rola al cuadro y así cayó la entrada.
Los Algodoneros volvieron a ponerse arriba en el score en la apertura del cuarto rollo.
El propio Mendoza, quien ayer fue factor en la victoria deliciense al igual que el jardinero izquierdo Joel Flores, -quien en su guante tiene una aspiradora- abrió la entrada con limpio tubey.
Carlos Rubio tocó de sacrifico por la tercera base y Mendoza se colocó a 90 pies del pentágono.
De nuevo, Amaya produjo, esta vez con una elevado al prado derecho.
Tras un vistoso engarce de Gurrola Rivera, quien se quedó con la esférica, Mendoza timbró en pisa y corre la segunda carrera de los ‘Vencedores del Desierto’ quien movió el pizarrón, 2 a 1.
Los indígenas quienes dejaron en las bases a nueve jugadores a la espera del batazo oportuno, vinieron de atrás nuevamente y, por segunda vez en el duelo emparejaron el pizarrón en el cerrado juego de pelota.
Con un out, James Cubillos recibió golpe del abridor Ricardo Hernández, quien fue advertido por el ampayer, pues antes había propinado golpe a Díaz Chávez.
El pelotero menor Cristian Renova pegó hit al nueve (derecho) y Julio Pacheco envió a la registradora a Cubillos con sencillo al siete (jardín izquierdo).
Así, la pizarra indicó otra vez un empate, ahora a dos carreras y ‘Aquel Amor’, se escuchó en las gradas llenas del inmueble.
Con Renova y Pacheco en posición de anotar, ‘Hulk’ Díaz recibió ‘chocolate’, Gurrola fue pasado intencionalmente a la inicial y, con el cuarto repleto de penachos, Eudor García dio rola a la intermedia para el tercer out que ‘mató’ un posible rallie aborigen.
Dispuestos a terminar con la igualdad en la pizarra, en el cierre del quinto capítulo, los bats indígenas encontraron la pelota pero fueron víctimas del fildeo de altura de los outfielders delicienses.
Ruiz Ramírez conectó un sólido tablazo entre left y center al que Omar Jaramillo le corrió la milla y atrapó la esférica al pie de la barda.
Enseguida Rodríguez Méndez pegó doble y el bateador emergente Diego Mercado dio un palo al izquierdo que Flores atrapó en gran forma y consumó el doble play para el tercer out.
Heriberto ‘Talismán’ García reclamó la jugada y la decisión al ampayer de la tercera base Francisco Farías, el antesalista Carlos ‘Panda’ Rubió intervino en la discusión y se hizo de palabras con García Osuna.
De pronto, el timonel indígena se vio rodeado de camisolas negras, los jugadores y coaches de los Indios dejaron la caseta indígena, corrieron hacia el cajón de la tercera colchoneta en apoyo a García, afortunadamente, la sangre no llegó al río y el conato de bronca quedó sólo en eso.
Fue en ese momento que la afición coreó a una sola voz: “yo si le voy, le voy a los Indios”.
Por apoyo del pelotero número 10 no paró y con la desventaja en la semifinal por 0-2, los Indios viajarán a Delicias la semana próxima, donde a partir del jueves 10 del mes en curso están programados los juegos tres, cuatro y cinco de la serie semifinal.

by TonyStark_09
POLARIS ANDRÓMEDA BLACK, hija del infame Lord Sirius Black y madre adoptiva de Harrison Black... o esa es su identidad en el mundo mágico para los que sabían de su existencia. Sin embargo, para los Vengadores, ella es la hermana menor de Natasha Romanoff, peligrosa ex viuda negra, una de las mejores agentes de SHIELD, su hermana en todo menos la sangre. Convertida en agente para saldar su deuda en números extremadamente rojos, Polaris comenzó a reconstruir su vida desde cero, optando por encontrar a su familia biológica y mantenerlos a salvo. Su camino la lleva a no solo encontrar nuevamente el amor, sino también a ganar otra familia en el proceso, los Vengadores.
Años y años de lucha para que el equipo pudiera encajar terminaron en nada cuando una Guerra Civil los devastó a todos... Con el equipo separado, las amistades rotas, y la familia hecha pedazos, Polaris termina en Hogwarts con Stephen Strange intentando cambiar el futuro y las consecuencias que caen encima de todos. No solo se revelarán secretos que cambiarán vidas para siempre, sino que también puede que una catástrofe universal pueda prevenirse... Pero para eso, los Vengadores deben unirse.
Nadie dijo que sería fácil.
