For the first time since its inception in 2004, Komikon organizers decided to hold a 2-day event and all I can say is—it’s about time. The Filipino comic book community positively received Komikon 2015 and if you were present, you could certainly tell. There was a buzz surrounding the Bayanihan Center this past weekendContinue reading “Review: Komikon 2015 (November 14-15, 2015)”

Review: Collecticon (September 26-27, 2015)
Now in its 8th year, the Hobbiworx and PinoyToyKolektor sponsored Collecticon has always–in my opinion–served as an appetizer for what is to come. An occasion wherein we can ‘whet our proverbial palette’ prior to the the yuletide season.

Review: AsiaPOP Comicon 2015
It’s a small world after all… I know the world is a bigger place but it seemed as if all eyes were centered on the World Trade Center Metro Manila this week for the AsiaPop Comicon. The buildup for the event reminded me of an ever fluctuating stock market that had fans either lauding the AsianPop organizersContinue reading “Review: AsiaPOP Comicon 2015”
Review: The 36th Manila International Book Fair (MIBF)
With what has become an annual event, the #AntFam marched to the 36th Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) at the SMX Convention Center with excitement in our eyes: Indy gushed at the overwhelming sight of all the books; Daryl made a bee-line for the nearest adult colouring books; while I headed for Fully Booked’s impressive graphicContinue reading “Review: The 36th Manila International Book Fair (MIBF)”
