Komikon 2011 Summer Bayanihan: Komiks Moving Onwards

Komikon season this 2011 starts big as the summer de avance convention that is always held at the UP Bahay ng Alumni. But this year, they will actually have this event at the bayanihan center in Pasig City (near ortigas and pioneer districts). Moving to a different venue would be really new and promises to have the same success of last years komikon held at Star Mall.

This year, it will highlight the women comic makers and also the opening for nominations for the komikon award that will be held in the main komikon in the last half of the year.

Hopefully I will also be part of the indie tiange for the launch the second krisis komix compilation KRISIS KOMIX WORLD KRISIS, featuring two other works, JOHNNY ASTIG and ANG BAGONG KIDLAT. 

This will all happen on April 16, 2011 from 10 am to 7pm.

Entrance is Php 100.
