Ang Maskot Trailer

One of the things I was expecting at Summer Komikon was the exclusive Trailer of one of our friends in the Indie Komiks community, "Ang Maskot" by Makoy (Operasyon, School Run). 

As many people (like me) were very fond of his comics with simple lines yet witty dialouges and unique storyline, Ang Maskot was indeed one of the comics I wish to see on the big screen. And now that the movie will be shown in Cinemalaya, I just can't wait to see it at the CCP.

COMICXHUB: Event Poster 3

COMICXHUB: New Teaset Poster 2

Comicxhub Poster For Upcoming Event

I just got an image in email from comicxhub that they will be having something big that will happen soon. In the poster it only said "6 Days. A Premiere Comicx Hub Event" With this short yet eye catching poster, It leaves me clueless on what to expect but think that this must be something big. 

And yes, I am very excited about this one as we start 2013 with something comic related. It could be a sale, it could be something coming soon, or it could be a week of celebration. These are just my theories, we just now wait for more details about this intriguing poster.

Happy New Krisis Year!

Sorry for not updating lately on this komik blog because of tons and tons of committments left and right that made me so busy and hardly made any komiks this year. But as part of my New Year resolution, I will give priority again back to Krisis Komix and will release a new one this Summer Komikon. 

Speaking of Komikon, just today they announced the date of the event that will be on April 13, 2013. What?! I said to myself since I am just working on my new titles this year, namely IFIINITE KRISIS featuring Cadena de Amor (no this is not a love story, well not yet but will be kickass!).

Krisis will also have major changes in terms of genre and style so it would appeal to more people and also get attention. 2012 may be a slow year for me but I got a lot of lessons this year that I can use for the komiks. Even with shool and events, I think I can do better this year and also be a year of big imrpovements.

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!
