"Those names "Scylla" and "Charybdis" turn up with significant prominence in Mark Waid's "Irredeemable". A pair of significant characters (brothers, actually) use those codenames.Important supporting characters, as it turns out."

"I only know the very basics of heraldry, but yes, this is poor flag design.   Esthetical judgments aside, it is needlessly and unhelpfully demanding of fine color distinction.The example above has at least two very distinct shades of green (which…"

"I read some of MoKF - about a third to a half of it - in monthly installments in the mid 1970s to mid 1980s. It was always a bit more adult than usual for Marvel's output.  First because there was so much conflict and mistrust among the main…"

"Going by cover dates, #28 was published at about the same time as JLA/Titans #2, which has a scene of Supergirl confronting Zauriel in order to protect Victor Stone's life.Others may disagree, but I found that scene interesting. Zauriel points out…"

"In all honesty, "Emerald Twilight" (which happened in late 1993/early 1994) does not even fit the continuity that existed back in 1995, let alone the Hal-as-Spectre period (late 1999 to late 2004), and the later was always meant to be endured rather…"
