my thoughtful, wonderful sister, gets great presents! She, who is an X-men fan of sorts, though she has never read a comic book in her life (she loves the old X-men cartoon, the movie and Evolution) went to a seedy little comic store, in a hidden corner of a mall in Calgary just for me to go Christmas shopping. she says it's tiny, and absolutley dead (i've never been there, i have access to the Silver Snail in Toronto, so why bother...) and got me the Bowen Nighty mini bust AND Wolverine's bust! (as my dad's present to me, my dad doesn't ever know what to get my sister or me, so he lets us choose for eachother)

if that is not enough, you will NOT beleive this, you thought every store in the world was sold out of Origin, didn't ya? well, as mentioned my sis does not read comics, so had no idea what Origin was until I told her a few days ago about it, and lamented on how i had missed out on getting #2...(oh why ddidn't i call sooner for them to reserve it for me... i only reserved form 3 up) she picks up 2 copies of the series so far! it was just sitting on the shelf, even #1!! Calgarians as you can see are not typically big into comic books.... man, i have to get her something really nice for Christmas...

I think people who have opposite sex siblings tend to have the most trouble, certainly true in my house.

Then why are you smiling so big? I wish my brother were older cause then he'd have already moved out.

My sister taped Evolution for me while I was out of town yesterday. Siblings aren't all bad.

I'd love to read Origin. But not enough to pay shipping so I'll just wait until they make it into a dotcomic.

It is already started as a Dot Comic. Download the Dot Comic player, and when you go to choose the comics to download to your player you will see the first 2 issues of Origin available.

My sister and I are ten years apart, so we usually get along. Wow Nocturne, you sure are lucky.

my sister and i are very close in age actually, i am only 14 months older than her. very different personalities, but we still get along great!

you know what i said about calgarians not likeing comic books? the more i think on that, the stranger this seems to me, especially x-men, cause A) Calgary is home to the real Kitty Pryde that the character was named after b) John Byrne and Todd McFarlane both attended the ACA (and both dropped/flunked out after a year... so did i. i hated it there, and i kow for a fact that byrne, and most likely McFarlane hated it too. this is also the reason for the name Kitty Pryde, she was in class with Byrne) c) Byrne drew the first part of his run on X-Men while living in Calgary, as a result, the Stampede grounds get trashed by in an issue of X-Men. (heard this as rumour, and i asked Byrne about it and he confirmed it, i'd have to look up the exact issue... whtever issue it is that Alpha Flight makes its first appearance.)

and yet there are next to no comic stores, and you NEVER see comics on regular store shelves there... i had to come here to Toronto to *really* start bmy back issue collection.

Then you are in luck. My bro and me are 14 months apart but he just doesn't have any intrest (also not in our mother and sister so he is consistent anyway )but you have gotten GREAT presents!!
My family still (after almost 30years) have trouble accepting my hobby/passion!!! I get ties as a present
