Awesome. Going on holiday soon, so will put it on the list! Thanks

I love the doctor strange films, but haven’t started any comics on him yet. Do you have a recommendation for a good starting series?

I recently finished Locke and Key, which blew me away. Such a good series. Does anyone know if Hills other works are as good?

Made my way through the wicked and divine 2 and 3. Love the story, but the cliffhangers keep killing me.

And lastly am slowly working my way through Chris Cleremonts Uncanny Xmen. They are currently meeting Rogue for the first time.

I live in Europe, so my options are a little limited. But I am currently using the marvel app. You can get a subscription and read all that is available, which is a lot. Newer comics lack behind a bit, probably to drive paper sales.

I know there is a similar app for DC, but it is not available here. I read online people think it is lackluster, but again no handson experience. I believe darkhorse comics might have a platform as well.

For me I like to buy paper comics for all non-marvel comics. I do like that a lot more. It draws me in better, and allows me to support smaller shops like the one you had.

Hope you get back into reading. It is a wonderful world!

It is the Dutch railway company, so no, I wouldnt expect you to know this as a foreigner.

But I am a little sad now I am not part of the lucky ones…

It looks like this isnt really a thing in Europe. I found like 1 store per country that joins, which is a bummer. I would have liked to try some new comics I wouldnt have chosen otherwise.

So this is my first time hearing about it, and it sounds really interesting. How does it? work? Can you just walk into a store and pick some up? Or is it an add-on to your purchase? And is there a limit to how much you can choose?

Already I finished The Wicked + The Divine. It was such a good read. Couple of twists I didnt expect. The story is really captivating and well drawn. Still have a lot of questions, and cant wait to get some of them answered. Really recommend this one! Such a shame I only bought the first issue ;p

I will let you know! So far it sucked me in immediately

Thanks for the thoughtful response! They really help.

Piracy was actually what got me into reading and buying comics in the first place. I came across Saga which peaked my interest and I have been reading since. From there went to a local store and picked up Sandman.

I dont have a local shop too nearby, which makes it harder to go to stores and just browse or get advice. But I will try to make some time soon to go browsing :)

Cool thanks! I will check those out as well :)

Awesome, thanks! And you also welcome to the club!

So I am still new with comics, only started reading them 3 months ago. I am currentl making my way through X-men and Batman first year, but there are so many comics out there.

If I look at this list it is daunting how many there are released every single week. I have been googling some of your interests, and they look cool. How do you know from this long list what catches your interest?

I am 2 days ahead of you, and it is great. Really love this series so far! Enjoy :D

We were on vacation for a while, so mostly played smaller games such as splitter, qwixx, agropolis.

Since we got back we started with Aeons end future and past, where we had a really cool play to win the game. Everything just came together perfectly. We also received our kickstarter for Borderlands, and played 1 game of it. Really enjoy the gameplay, they managed to capture the BL soul really well :D

Wait this has been out for a while now, hasn’t it? In the Netherlands we already could purchase it for 2 years now. Or am I missing something?

I hate it when the “and this is where we end the session for tonight” part happens 10 minutes in… once had a high level party teleport to the complete opposite side of the map 10 minutes after starting… That is when I learned what high level really meant.

I am not fully familiar with the term quarterbacking, but I assume it is where somebody effectively plays the whole game and tells everybody what to do?

I think if you are aware of it, it is easier to stop quarterbacking. When I play it I try to give advise on hotspots for problems, but I wont plan somebody elses turn. But they decide. But the game can be prone to it. You could always play with your cards closed, then people have less information, which prevents 1 person from figuring it all out, but might complicate the game some extra as well

We have had some busy weeks last weeks, so the amount of games is liwer compared to normal. This weekend we finally had some time again ^^

We played 2 games of good ol’ pandemic, which we horribly lost. Mostly due to the lab expansion, which we hadnt played in a while and forgot the proper strategy for.

We also played a game of Theotihuacan, but it isnt my game. We have played it a couple of times now, but I am tense the whole way through, as there are so many actions and every single one counts so much. If anyone has some experiences with this game and can tell me your experiences I would love to hear. It is a game my fiance loves, and I would like to at least like it as well…

Dixit is also a good fit! It is a very easily explained game, where you have to say a word or short phrase describing a mystery card. The rest then places a card they think that matches the description as well, and then a voting round starts. It is really fun, and playing it would do more justice than this explanation :p
