Now, astronomers predict that a pair of stars so close they’re basically touching will collide and create a so-called red nova, resulting in a bright explosion visible to the…
Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen’s Nextwave is one of the zaniest, funniest comics Marvel has ever published—wild enough that its “canonicity” within the Marvel universe has been kept at arms length at various points since it ended. But now we know that it actually exists within the re-jiggered “All-New” timeline,…

I don't care much for cars. But even though I'm ambivalent about automobiles, I'm incredibly passionate about the radio show Car Talk.
