From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.
The death of Jonathan Kent
In comics there's two running gags regarding death. No one ever truly stays dead. We've seen this happen countless times with countless heroes, especially after 1993's infamous "Death of Superman" story arc. But the exceptions to that rule are Uncle Ben, Marth and Thomas Wayne, and Jonathan, better known as "Pa" Kent. Their deaths pose too much of an impact on the arc of our heroes. Some comics have ventured into the idea of how our heroes lives would be impacted should those characters live instead of die. I will not be doing that today, maybe in a future article. Please subscribe to see should that day come. But, I would like to show my idea of how I would handle the death of "Pa" Kent.

Hitchhiking to the Arctic (Norway)
I was in southern Sweden when I decided to turn north. I had no itinerary, just a fierce yearning in my heart to see the Northern Lights. Not from a bus tour, not through the foggy pane of a hotel window, but with my own breath visible in the air, my boots in the snow, and nothing but silence between me and the sky.

The Mathematics of Love: What Game Theory and Probability Can Teach Us About Dating
Introduction Love and logic might seem like unlikely bedfellows, yet the principles of game theory and probability offer fascinating insights into the often unpredictable world of dating. In a society where swiping right and digital matchmaking have become the norm, applying mathematical reasoning to romantic decision-making might appear as abstract as it is practical. However, beneath the surface of every first date, every awkward conversation, and every serendipitous encounter lies a web of decisions that can be explored through the lens of mathematics. This article uncovers how game theory and probability help us understand compatibility, strategic interaction, and the delicate balance between risk and reward in our search for love.
