Sadly it no longer is my field of work. Switched to IT when I couldnt find a job or phd in behavioural biology. Turned out I like IT quite a lot.

We have 1 more week of travel, visiting a rain forest at the east coast. Then back to Europe and to work.

Awesome! Thanks for the effort!

We dont mind that it eats the spiders here, they are huge and scary :p

We ended up at Madagascar because it was my long live dream. I studied biology and arranged a place for my thesis. However for my bachelor I heard I wasnt allowed to travel outside of Europe. And for my masters there wasn’t anyone educated highly enough to supervise me.

So when we were brainstorming for our honeymoon, my now wife came with this idea. It has been an amazing trip so far, but also quite intense. A lot of travelling in a 4x4, long days and early rises. The people here are quite poor, and that makes the travel a bit conflicted. But my biologist heart is really happy. We have seen amazing animals and visited wonderful places.

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?
