Depiction of Despina Hatun on one of the stained glass windows in placed on the north facade of St. George Cathedral in Novi Sad.

Created in 1902 by Hungarian artist Imre Zseller ( 1878-1959).

The stained glass depicts Despina Hatun holding a cross; showing her devotion to her faith. Something interesting and catching about her attire is that adding to her simple Serbian clothing she also has a golden turban adorned on her head; depicting her liaison to both the Lazarevic and Osman Dynasty.

LOKI #3 DANIEL KIBBLESMITH (W) • OSCAR BAZALDUA (A) COVER BY OZGUR YILDIRIM WELCOME TO HIS NIGHTMARE! The nefarious NIGHTMARE has come to Earth, and only Loki, “The God of Nothing,” can stop him from trapping all of New York City into the Nightmare Dimension! But first, he’ll need to strike a bargain with a new and powerful force that will change the Marvel Universe forever. Who or what will Loki become when he steps foot into the mysterious HOUSE OF IDEAS?

So I am pretty stoked about this, because Nightmare was one of the main baddies in Kieron Gillen’s Journey Into Mystery, and I think it would be cool for him and Loki to have a rematch, even if it is technically a different Loki. If Loki’s gonna do the hero thing, he needs a rogues gallery, and Nightmare is a fine place to start, given the history there. (since I am assuming Malekith and Laufey will bite the dust in WotR)

And Nightmare is ALSO talking part in the Acts of Evil annual event taking place at the same time this issue comes out, which appears to be a spiritual successor to Acts of Vengeance from many years ago, where Loki arranged to have a bunch of villains fight heroes they don’t normally fight. So I am wondering if this is what connects those two events together.

The aftermath of the explosion at Haydarpaşa station.

September 6 1917, Haydarpaşa--The new joint German-Turkish Yildirim Army Group had originally been tasked with retaking Baghdad by Enver Pasha, despite strenuous objections from Djemal Pasha, commanding the Fourth Army in Syria, who felt the force would be better used as a strategic reserve to respond to an Allied offensive from any direction.  Djemal continued to protest over the course of the summer, and in mid-August, with Falkenhayn’s backing, finally got Enver to call off the attack on Baghdad.

Djemal soon came to regret this, however, realizing that Falkenhayn could now challenge his military authority in Syria and Palestine.  On September 5, Falkenhayn decided that he would use Yildirim to attack in Palestine.  The British were performing a worrying buildup there, and the Russians were no longer a threat in the Caucasus.  He hoped to push the British back across the Sinai, and that his German divisions could finally force the Suez Canal.  Mustafa Kemal, whose Seventh Army would be responsible for this offensive, protested fervently to Enver.  His army was in no condition to conduct an offensive, and no reserves to back them up; one of his divisions had lost more than half of its strength just in the journey from Constantinople to Aleppo.  Politically, he also chafed at being under the command of the German Falkenhayn.

Furthermore, the large quantities of materiel sent by the Germans for Yildirim were much diminished on September 6, when a massive explosion at  Haydarpaşa station (the Asian terminus of the planned railway to Baghdad, across the Bosporus from Constantinople) destroyed much of them.  Yildirim, short on men and supplies, would not begin its march south from Aleppo until the end of the month.  Mustafa Kemal would not be with them, as he resigned in protest before they began to move out.
