It gets really confusing once Walker and Morgan start looking for the Black Elfstone.

OK, yeah, I always forget LoC's the one with Dumai's Wells. That's worth it.

That dog has a poofy tail?

I'll say. It took Harper Lee decades!

Now available in a hotel bedside table near you.

I heard Brandon Sanderson has already taken up hang-gliding, the better to circle him, vulture-like, at the earliest opportunity.

No, no, it's cool. I've got it all planned out—if I skip Lord of Chaos, whichever stupid book that Mat doesn't show up in, and anything involving Perrin's Great Wife Hunt, I should be finished in about 7 years.

Guess this means I'll have opportunity to reread Wheel of Time after all.

Great, you found Wikipedia now. Well done. Due process concerns still don't apply, as this Jessica Jones was not a 1) a state actor to whom the Constitution would apply or 2) a member of the Avengers (who, in the MCU, operate under the (questionable) auspices of the World Security Council, not the UN).

He was, throughout the encounter, an imminent threat to the safety of

The greater body of adventure fiction stretching back thousands of years encompasses heroes who engage in the use of lethal force, from Gilgamesh on through Achilles, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Leatherstocking, up to the

Guess it's lucky you didn't make it as far as Herod's sunglasses.

Speaking of Hasbro, the opening sequence of GI Joe: The Movie is much the same—a perfect distillation of the series in under 5 minutes.

Your thesaurus may be broken.

It's unfortunate, but despite how great Brom's art is, his take on Krampus (as described here) leaves me pretty underwhelmed. Folklore is and ought to be an evolving thing, I'm just not a fan of this "demonic anti-Santa" direction that recent media depictions of Krampus have tended towards. Give me Benito Cereno's

Out of curiosity, then, have you read Mike Mignola's Baltimore—either the novel or the comics? I've only read the former, but that was a good read and had its story start in a WWI setting.
