Fifty years after one of the darkest days in Britain’s peacetime history, Prince Charles honored those who died in an infamous mining disaster on Friday.
Aberfan, a village in South Wales, lost a generation of 116 children ages 7-10 in 1966 when their school was engulfed in some 150,000 tons of mud and slurry â.loosened by heavy rain and springs beneath â. from the local coal waste dump.

London, Sept 01: Scientists have discovered a rare perfectly two-tone lobster in the northern Us state of Maine.
Lobsterman Jeff Edwards caught the half-orange, half-brown lobster, Metro.co.uk reported.
Edwards, who kept the crustacean to show off to family and friends, took a few snaps of the creature and then donated it to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland- which keeps lobsters in a tank for child education programmes.
According to the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine, the chances of getting a two-tone lobster are approximately 1-in-50 million. (Ani)...

I generally Do have issues with ‘Best of the Year’ lists, because so many of them come out before the year is even over. Where’s the fun in that? There’s also the tradition of dividing things into categories—best writer, best artist, best character, and so on. I’ve done such things, and I admire their formality. But here at FM, I would simply like to highlight triumphs in storytelling structure and visual awesomeness, however that may manifest itself.
Thus, I bring you ten comic book series that made me proud to be a comics fan in 2012. (If it seems I have surreptitiously left some more obvious titles out—Saga, Fatale, etc.—it’s because I see other websites giving them due praise, and I felt the need to point out several underrated gems.)

Publisher: DC
Writer: Scott Snyder
Artists: Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion

Eyegores? Emmys? Please. Everyone knows that the most important awards are the—admittedly first-time annual—FM’S Got Issues To Award awards. Otherwise known as a lengthy roundup of non-mainstream comic book horror goodness that is worth just as much scrutiny as any the superhero of the week, but struggles to sell half as much, which is tragic.
Why comics?
Because we want to give great comic monsters their due. Because the popularity of comics characters and staple superheroes seems to have skyrocketed (no doubt due to Marvel Studios’ film successes). Because pre-Comics Code beauties like Adventures Into The Unknown and EC Comics titles created just as many nightmares for their readers in the first half of the 20th century as any movie monster. Because post-Comics Code pulp like Creepy and Eerie fulfilled a gap in the media market—one that thirsted for genuine scares on a newsprint page and...
