In regards to the League of Shadows, where is it first mentioned in the comics? What is the history and timeline of the organization?

My friend once tried to lend me a book set in a fantasy world. I think he said something along the lines of "It's got wizards! Solid light constructs! It's a must-read in your life!". Being young and hated reading, I only read a few chapters, but eventually forgot about it and returned the book. ...

Short story: A man arrives in an isolated room, in shock of some sort brought on by his travel there. Temporary amnesia. There's someone else (AI/machine/hologram) already there, also not remembering who he himself is. The traveler eventually overcomes the shock of his transit, and is back on hi...

In Harry Potter there are Veela, women who are part human, who are so beautiful and charming that they can seduce any man. I was just curious about the fact that I can't seem to find anything about them having names. As they are half human would they have names? What would their husbands/partners...

About 10 years ago I read this book about small people (they were a different race than humans I think) who are living in a big English or American city. They hide from normal people and live in lost buildings or subway tunnels. I remember that the story was about some problems they had with the ...

I'm developing a story about a humanoid alien species on an Earth-like planet. There are no human protagonists, just aliens. The reader explores the alien world through the eyes of the main protagonist. The aliens are distantly similar to humans, but they have a very different culture and social ...

I'm trying to identify a hard science fiction short story I read in an anthology roughly 5 years ago. My impression is that it was a relatively new story at that time. I think it has a male western main character. He works at tracking and preventing the spread of a disease through Earth's popula...

In Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, when Obi-Wan challenges Grievous to a lightsaber duel, Grievous replies: You fool! I've been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku! This makes it sounds like he and Obi-Wan have never fought before, and he's gloating that Obi-Wan doesn't know what he'...

In the season one episode of Doctor Who classic, the sensotites, a species who can read minds (at least of Susan) still suspect that the Doctor may not be trustworthy. Surely, if they can know what Susan is thinking and feeling (such as being able to ‘hear her distress‘ when she asks how long I...

Season 1 of The Boys ended at a very unclear plot move. May be those who read the comics could explain this. In the end of season 1 Homelander saved Billy's life and brought him to his wife. What the reason for those 2 actions and will their (Homelander and Billy) relations change after that?

In the scene of Hughie's baptizing Homelander became rougher toward him when sensed fear. Also he killed Sitwell after she told him that she's afraid. What stands behind his hate of afraid people? Contempt? Anticipation of betrayal?

Queen Maeve and The Deep showed a glimpse of good closer to the end of the season 1. Are they good eventually? What about the rest of them (according the comics)? It's unclear about Homelander: he used to be evil, but saved Billy.
