COMICXHUB Year One!


Time does fly by so fast and a year a ago I was talking to Lawerence about his online business which is really interesting and a first in the country. COMICXHUB is a venture that made comics collecting easier with a few simple clicks. And fast forward to 12 months, it is now celebrating its first year! 

And with the anniversary held at the Collective last September 29 also comes another milestone with the opening of CASTLE GEEK store there which serves as another physical store aside from their office store in Shaw boulevard. 


The night was filled with comics (local and international), action figure collections, sketches from comic artists and even fun games and raffle of prizes. They also gave recognized the people and organizations that helped them a lot for its first year. And we are happy to be one of them! To Comicxhub, thank you very much for providing a one of kind service plus your support for the Filipino komiks industry, we wish more years of success (and more branches of castle geek) to come!
