Today, it's often taken for granted or as a truism that heroes don't kill (despite plenty of evidence historically and in fiction to the contrary). In fact, it is often taken to the extreme that the heroic ideal ought never kill under any circumstance, situation, exception, or excuse - or otherw...

There is a short story that I'm sure I own but cannot find because my collection is too huge, it involves a supernatural detective who investigates a murder by buying the ghost of the victim at some kind of supernatural market, that is all I remember about it and I can't think of any of the other...

Anybody know what webcomic this is from? Slightly different from the usual "what's that story" question, but all I have to go off of is this one image, and google image search yields nothing. For helping other searches, I guess, here's what I know, in text form: Characters appear to be demons...

The two examples I can name off the top of my head are from The 13th Warrior when Buliwyf, dying from the mother's poison, fights his final battle and wins regardless, and in David Gemmell's Drenai Cycle when Druss fights his final defense of Dros Delnoch after being poisoned in an earlier duel, ...

were both killed by a glowing purple assassination spell. I wasn't quite sure who cast it, though. Yuan Ji. In favor: he's perfectly willing to kill people, and he often attacks incorporeally. Pian Feng and the Bear King also were described as having his seal on their body because he ripped ...

Apparently, James Gunn directed a whole lot of Stan Lee cameos, including, and limited to, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok. Why? I mean, it makes sense as to why he directed the ones in his own movies, but why in ...

At the end of the Christmas Invasion episode, after Harriet Jones orders to shoot down the alien spaceship, the Doctor, visibly mad, tells her he could take her down with a single word, or rather six. The exchange went like this: DOCTOR: Don't challenge me, Harriet Jones, because I'm a compl...

Apart from being cool, is there any background story to the Jedi robes? They all seem to be similar if not the same ie. Same colours, except the obvious black robes of Anakin and Luke, same material and style. Is this a uniform for Jedi even though other characters where similar outfits without b...

Around 6 to 18 years ago, I stumbled on a movie while browsing the TV. I think I stumbled on the movie in the middle of the plot. A group of people were stuck in what looked like an underground laboratory, with a dragon wandering around. The dragon was possibly created there. The dragon aside...

I'm still trying to find another scifi show/series/episode - it has similarities to the one Twilight Zone with the downed WWII aircraft. But in this one, a bunch of scientists stumble onto ideas that put them on the track of what amounts to a grand-unification-theory that explains the fundamental...

I have found this complete guide for the reading order of X-Men comics and tie-ins but sadly it stops at the publishing year of 2012. Could anyone tell me the reading order for the next events like RessurXion, X-men Gold/Blue/Red, Astonishing X-Men and other possible related stories after AvX.

In order to Yuan Ji needed to steal the spiritual power of people from the royal bloodlines of the various clans. Clearly, the Fire Prince from the beginning makes one. Assuming he was the one who killed Pian Feng and the Bear King, that covers the Spirit and Bear Clans. He, in Lian Ji's body...

A few works seem to share a rather specific plotline, regarding the collection of the souls of various royal bloodlines. For instance, in The Bone Witch and its sequels, by Rin Chupeco, part of the process for creating the all-powerful shadowglass (particularly capable of raising the dead) req...
