TheDaily News has it’s strengths and it’s weaknesses. On the strengths side, back when I first lived in NYC, pre-internet, I could get west coast baseball scores in the Daily News. Which was a bigger deal than it sounds like now. On the weaknesses side is most everything else.

But when you nail it, you nail it.

See the very first images of a hydrogen bond

Chemists have long known what a hydrogen bond should look like, but until last week, most hadn’t actually seen an image of one. Now, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been able to visualize a hydrogen bond using atomic force microscopy, a technique that can deliver higher resolution than even a scanning tunneling microscope.

This is astounding to me. If anyone had asked me if a hydrogen bind had been photographed be...

I’m first up at 8pm and then I must leave, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stay. Because anyone interested in noir should have no problem with the idea of taping theBreaking Badfinale.

Which is not, for the record why I am leaving early.

I am old and I have a child who rises very early.

Honest.

As I won’t be staying after I read, I will arrive a little early and will be happy to sign any books anyone may want to brink. Books I’ve written, that is.

i reread your run on Wolverine TBTI- hilarious work btw, and i felt like your character work for The Dazzler was pitch perfect, and honestly dude, i wanted to know what drew you to the character. Is there any chance that you would ever pen a Dazzler solo s

Thanks, man. Thats nice to hear. A semi-saterical Wolverine series wasn’t what most Logan fans were looking for.

Go figure.

A Dazzler solo series?

That is a question I never in this life expected to be asked. I’d put the chance somewhere in the vicinity of none, but never say never.

As for what drew me to her, I can’t really remember. I think I got to a place in the story where I needed some X-Men and I looked to see who was on the team at that point. If memory serves, Matt Fraction was writing t...
