Comic book annotations



Early work


Nevins has annotated several comics, starting with a number of Elseworlds published by DC Comics, including Kingdom Come and JLA: The Nail.[citation needed]



The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen


Nevins also annotated many of Alan Moore's for his America's Best Comics imprint, starting with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Moore said of Nevins' work, "It was only when someone finally conveyed these internet postings to me... that I began to understand the invaluable asset that Jess represented... I realised that if we had [him] tracking down all of the references for the readers, then we could be as obscure and far-reaching as we wanted...",[2] Moore later said Nevins' work helped inform The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II: "The New Traveller's Almanac": "The patient work contained within this current volume [Heroes & Monsters] has played an important part in the construction of this vast, imaginary global edifice that we're constructing... [the Almanac]",[2] Moore sees "these companion volumes as having a necessary organic place in the body of the work itself."[3]



Other annotations


In-between volumes of LoEG, Nevins has tackled Moore and Gene Ha's Top Ten. He subsequently provided annotations on Moore and Ha's 2005 Top Ten graphic novel The Forty-Niners and Paul Di Filippo and Jerry Ordway's 2005 sequel miniseries Beyond the Farthest Precinct.[citation needed] Nevins also began to annotate Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert's 2003 mini-series 1602 from Marvel Comics.



Other work


On his website, Nevins has compiled the reference guide The Golden Age Heroes Directory, the Pulp and Adventure Heroes" Directory,[citation needed] and "Fantastic, Mysterious, and Adventurous Victoriana."[citation needed]


He has also written stories appearing in the Tales of the Shadowmen anthology series: "A Jest, To Pass The Time" from volume 2, "Red in Tooth and Claw" in volume 4, and "A Root That Beareth Gall and Worms" in volume 5.


Nevins has much expanded some of his online resources for print, authoring The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana (left), the definitive guide on the strange and wonderful of that period. In May 2007, McFarland & Company published his Pulp Holdings Index, a listing of which issues of which pulp magazines are held in which American, Canadian, British, and European libraries.


Nevins has also been published in Steve Jackson Games' Pyramid, at the comics website Comic Book Resources.[4]


He also adapted his "Pulp Heroes" resource into the Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes (2017) as well as his companion superhero reference work, the Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
