The list of missing comics in my collection.

Updated: 24-11-2009

( Comics I still need: )



( Comics I still want to read: )

If you have any recommendations just tell me! I love reading new comics!
(I've already got most X-stuff (inc. Wolverine))

School is getting harder and harder. We have genetics, microbiology, biochemistry & biology right now. Biochemistry & genetics are going to be a problem, the other subjects shouldn't be. We also have to take care of some of the school's animals the next few weeks. They have goats, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs, but my class was lucky so we got the rats. :/ I wish we had the goats they are fun. Rats are relatively low maintenance though, but because they're official testing animals there are a lot of laws and regulations concerned with them.

Oh check the genetics internet toolbox thingie:
( Aliens! XD  )

Today I checked the X-men Origins: Wolverine dvd in the shop and discovered they misspelled Hugh's last name as 'Jackmann' on the cover. Seriously, how dumb can you be?

I watched the first three episodes of Dexter. dutchxfan recommended the series to me a long time ago already and I felt like checking it out last week. Not sure if I like it though. I'll have to see more to form an opinion.

Nation X #1 will have a Kurt & Logan story. I have a Kurt & Logan drabble too. It's not finished yet though. I want it done before Marvel publishes theirs :)
Horror Vacuum? Yeah I'll be working on that too. It's just that school is taking up a lot of time right now & inspiration doesn't come easy at my parent's place.

Oh and I really like Necrosha so far :)

I haven't talked to you about comics for a while now. How awful of me ;)

I decided tonight(with some help on twitter) to quit Wolverine: Origins. Why? Because it's crap. The story is terribly uninteresting and bad (even though it deals with Logan's past, or rather; it retcons Logan's past) and the art is not that special either.

X-force on the other hand is AWESOME. It had a small crisis with Messiah War, which honestly wasn't that good, but it's back on track :)

Dark Wolverine. Well I have to admit something... Although I HATE the fact that Daken is Logan's son, he is growing on me as a character and that has everything to do with his current storyline in this comic. Liu gave him more depth and made him a manipulating bastard you love to hate in a way. Still hating his connection with Wolverine though.

X-men: Forever. After 6 issues I can say that Claremont isn't at his best with this series. Despite some wtf stuff happening t's okay to read and entertaining.

New Avengers: Still a good read, but it's not as good as it used to be I think.

Wolverine: Weapon X. Pretty good series! I really like it so far (only 4 issues).

X-men Legacy & Uncanny X-men: I like the Utopia storyline. I do however dislike Fraction on this run. Also; WTF! Scott?

Like my subjectline says; I don't have much to say.
I'm still working hard on Data analysis and while it's hard, it finally feels like I'm making a bit of progress. The prof. complimented me (through the studyadvisor) on my hard work, good questions and the way I respond and answer other students on Blackboard. He said he's confident I will make it :)
Besides DA I already did a lot of stuff from my to do list!

A bit more fun though is the Dutch Marveldatabase! It's a wiki so everyone can join. I already made articles for Itsu and Lady Deathstrike* and I'm planning to do some more.

While we're still in the totally-random-department I'd like to mention BJ (and his bro) bought a new car, so we are perfectly prepared for our weektrip to France next month. They're going to pick it up tomorrow :)

*dammit it seems the Deathstrike article was accidentally erased. Hopefully the admin can restore it, but rewriting it won't be a problem either because I enjoy doing it :)

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of youri_zoutman, who sold me a bunch of his comics for a fantastic price, I now have crossed the 1000 comics mark for my New Year's resolution already!
I haven't had a whole lot of time this weekend to read the new ones, but I did start on a couple of them :D Yay! Reading comics is so much fun!

I also bought a new bookcase for them, because, as you might recall, the old one was full. Now I have an Ikea 'Billy' of 80 cm wide and 202cm tall. It's huge! Big advantage of the Billy-system is that you can put glass doors into the bookcases whenever you want (or have the money for it).

( Pics or it didn't happen! )

New comics this week:
Wolverine: First Class #15: Meh. Thor is ok, but the story was simply boring. I made the right choice to quit this series I think. This issue was the last or single to last one of my subscription.

Wolverine: Origins #36 : Seriously what a mess this comic is. Nothing makes sense and Daken is grating on my nerves. Argh! If this doesn't get better soon I'm gonna quit.

X-force #15 : Pretty cool, but I definitely have to get the Cable issues that go with it, because I hate missing out on a good story.

New Avengers #53: The quest for the new Sorcerer Supreme is pretty exciting. Spidey is funny as always.

Runaways #10 : When are they going to stop dumping the little girls with Logan. Dude... it's starting to creep me out a bit. (also last issue of my subscription I think.)

X-men Legacy #224: Interesting. Chuck finally made a decision about Danger and Rogue is taking a big step in trying to control her powers. Also: Gambit!

Wolverine #72: Old Man Logan is a cool story even if it's an Alternative Future. Too bad they're going to conclude it in a special instead of just the regular series.

(Wolverine #73: Got this one last week already (yeah, why Marvel did that is a mystery to me too) I loved the first day-to-day story. Like Yukio said: I wouldn't want to be Logan even if they paid me. )

Just came back from my second viewing of Wolverine.
My opinion hasn't changed; I love it!
They made the right choices, compromised adequately between movie and comics and it fits perfectly in movieverse canon. (movieverse=/= comicverse, people) It's not as good as Iron Man, but it was very awesome nonetheless. It's fun, it has action, it has it's more emotional moments and the acting is fantastic! (I particularly love Liev's Sabretooth!)

I'm really happy with it :D




Oh I also went to the zoo with the family and BJ, which was fun. I'll post some pics later :)

X-men Origins: Wolverine was awesome!
I loved it! Of course like with most comic to movie adaptations they had to take liberties with some stuff, but they did it the right way I think.

( SPOILERS )

Conclusion: Good movie, accessible to the big public, but still pretty satisfactory for most comicbookreaders as well!
Going to watch it again on monday :) Already looking forward to it.

A word meme I got from tinkcph
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given. (Just ask me. If you don't want me to give you words that's okay)
These are the words I got:

( Comics, Animals, Brain, Will, Language )

It's been little over a week since my last update. The weekend at the beach was ok. Not very special or anything. We kept the costs to a minimum and still had a good time, but the girls I went with are in a different stage of life or something. Marriage, having a family, jobs, stuff like that. Not what's on my mind yet. They're nice enough though, we just don't have a lot in common anymore.

At uni, things are looking up. The meeting between the studyadvisor and the neuropsychologists went well and I think it was very nice to see that people are more willing to see my side of the whole Methods/PMB thing. I'm currently studying hard and making exercises to practise for the exam on the 29th. Next thursday I have the Developmental Neuropsychology exam too, so busy weekend with Easter and all. Thankfully it's not very difficult, but it's quite a lot.

Today I bought Wolverine: Worst Day Ever, Identity Disc & Wolverine: Inside the World of the Living Weapon. The latter is a very awesome book/encyclopedia of Wolverine. It's very pretty and informative (and up-to-date!). Cool parts about the various wars he fought in, quotes, timelines, partners, etc.

Jan didn't have Wolverine:Weapon X #1 yet :/ Hopefully next week.
