Suntory Hibiki 17 Whisky Discontinued!
Forbes reports that the Suntory Hibiki 17 will be discontinued as of September 2018.
From September 2018 the Hibiki 17 will gradually be removed from the core range, and production will stop.
The Hibiki 12 Year-Old was sadly discontinued in 2015
Due to several awards, both the price and demand for the Hibiki 21 has risen.
We found the Suntory Hibiki 17 for $140, while the 21 was about $251.
We featured the Hibiki 17 on Nerds Drink Whiskey in July of 2016, and it has remained an all time favorite.
We mourn the loss of this great whisky.
For Forbes (much more in depth) version of this story:

http://screencrush.com/zombieland-2-release-2019-cast/
Comic legend Stan Lee files $1 billion lawsuit against "POW! Entertainment."
Stan Lee is a co-founder of "POW! Entertainment."
He accused "POW! Entertainment" of taking advantage of his rights and undergoing business dealings without consent.
The suit alleges that "POW! Entertainment" CEO Shane Duffy and co-founder Gill Champion agreed to sell the company.
This includes Lee’s fraudulently obtained “identity, name, image and likeness,” to Chinese company Camsing International.
In addition, the suit claims that Duffy and Champion either forged Lee’s signature or tricked him into signing away the rights to his name to "POW! Entertainment" for personal financial benefits.
