An iPhone 6s has survived a fall from a plane and a full year exposed to the elements in Iceland — and even the video of its plunge to the ground was safely retrieved… TNW reports. Well, less “gust of wind” than “turning the phone around so the slipstream of a fast-moving plane hit it from behind and pulled it from his hands,” but let’s not quibble over details. Or so he thought, until 13 months later, when he received a phone call from people that had found his phone while hiking....

Over the first half of the season, Marvel’s Iron Fist suffers from the same malady as other Netflix series in that it’s too long, too fond of go-nowhere subplots, and too many episodes could or should be cut for the sake of affording it a more propulsive plotline.

WARNING: Spoilers for Tony Stark: Iron Man #16 Iron Man proves that sometimes the suit makes the man, with an armor for every occasion–and every threat. From the famous Hulkbuster to his more recent Godbuster armor, there’s no scenario Tony Stark hasn’t planned for (and that was before he became an artificial intelligence). But neither can compare to the unpredictable, but absolutely poetic horror of The Ultron Buster.
