Actually, it appears in the comics before he has gathered the Stones (see Infinity Quest, from right before the Infinity Gauntlet #1). Speaking of which - got a near-mint Infinity Gauntlet #2 this weekend.

Just saw Age of Ultron. Given the negative reviews, I expected it to be worse than the 1st one. It was not. It was surprisingly good. Loved Paul Bettany as the Vision. They do mess up a bunch of comics continuity (including some related to Infinity Stones), but I knew that was the case. And...

Never had the Jura Superstition, but I love the Jura 21. Can't recall having any Isle of Jura that wasn't enjoyable. More subtle than Islay malts.

Despite all the troubles here, there is a small cosplay parade by my favorite Baltimore City comics store if you're in the area. And Mark Waid is at Cards, Comics, & Collectibles in northwest Baltimore County today. Gonna try and get there this afternoon.

First six pages can actually be read on Playboy's site- http://www.playboy.com/articles/fight-club-2-exclusive-6-page-preview-chuck-palahniuk And from Deadpool land- fan-made Deadpool vs crappy Wolverine: Origins Deadpool. Chimi-fucking-changas!

There is some historical support for bits of it, though certainly none for more than the most minuscule contacts with Western groups. IMO, the real influence is mostly linguistic. Hashish definitely existed in the West waaay back, the word just doesn't turn up until the Crusades. Just like...

I do not see anything about it online, never looked before. What I saw was all in academic journals in physical libraries, mostly from the mid-60s. When I was doing grad work on the Albigensian Crusade I ran across multiple refereed articles with his name on them on the Templars and their...

I can see that being correct linguistically. But the term entered the West with the recipe for Hassan's Alamut black around the late Crusades- see the work of Robert Shea (when he was just a historian, before he worked on Illuminatus! with Robert Anton Wilson) and other historians on the...

So after rewatching all of Daredevil a couple of times, I actually like it even better. Been rereading the Miller and Wood Daredevil, and the show is really accurate to those. Add to that the weird-ass (and very Daredevil-becomes-leader-of-the-Hand) turn Arrow has taken (and that they are now...

You'll especially love it if you've read the comics. Pulls heavily from the most important Daredevil comics runs - Wally Wood, Frank Miller, Brian Michael Bendis, Romita sr and jr. It's the most accurate comic book adaptation I've ever seen, and IMHO easily the best tv or movie Marvel (or DC)...

Sending my EVO in for service for the 2nd time. But my OG ticker from the original pre-order is still going strong. That thing is a tank.

SQUEEE!!!!! Previously unpublished KIRBY & STERANKO in upcoming issue of Agents of SHIELD!!! http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/kirby-steranko-return-to-the-pages-of-shield-in-august And a list of Kirby's creations. Over 200 on this list, and that is with a lot of them listed as groups...

DAREDEVIL!! YES!! Already watched the whole thing not once, not twice, but thrice.

Corned beef hash and eggs.

First shot of Kodi Smit-Mcphee as Nightcrawler- And a Muppets Avengers parody, The Aveggies: Age of Bon bon. Cookie monster/The Hulk eats Cap's shield and Thor's hammer. Dr. Brownie, Onion Man, Captain Americauliflower, Black Bean Widow, Mighty Corn, and Zuchin-eye. Quoth Doctor...

Miller has written some great comics but is not the huge influence he is taken for. Dark Knight Strikes Again SUCKED. Let's hope this new one is better. IMHO, been a long time since Frank Miller wrote anything really good. I do love his Daredevil and his 1st Dark Knight. But I am hard...

Fantastic Four will officially suck. Reed Richards will only 'appear' to be able to stretch his body. That + a British actor playing an eyebrowless thing + Sue Storm being played by an actress older than the dude playing Reed Richards = will definitely suck...

Half of the whole corned beef brisket. Brined for two weeks in kosher salt, saltpeter, ginger, allspice, cloves, brown sugar, yellow and brown mustard seed, celery seed and onions. Smoked for 5 hours over maple, white oak and hickory, then a 2 hour braise in water, cloves, allspice, and garlic.

Last night's dinner- thick-cut pork chops rubbed with homemade mustard, seared and braised in a sauce of sherry, beef-bacon stock, garlic and more mustard. Got a whole brisket that corned for 2 weeks in the smoker.

Newest collectable - PotatoPool!! Instead of swords he has peelers.
