Is correct.

He appeared in 128 comics between 1993 and 2005, the longest running of these being the on-going The Book of Magic series which ran for 75 issues between 1995-2001.

I guess the world just ain't big enough for two "normal, bespectacled teenage boys who have lost their mothers, and discover that they are destined to become powerful magicians while gaining an owl as a pet."

The boundary between the observable and unobservable universe is known by what two-word name?

It's something with 'horizon', but can't think of the other word...

I think an event horizon has got something to do with black holes, if you get too close and cross this line (the event horizon) you're lost and can never escape the pull of the black hole. even light itself isn't fast enough to avoid getting sucked in.

the useless stuff I remember from reading books... <laugh>

and ofcourse it's also a movie.

Yeah event horizon is a more general term I think but usually used in relation to black holes

Interesting thinking but no.

It’s a word that can have “matter” and “antimatter” putnin front of it, and is a commonly used word in some areas of physics.
