Indie Comics, its creators and publishers, is the grassroots level of the comic book industry.
Indie or independent comics are mostly photocopied mini-comics (though there are offset printed ones that can still be categorically called Indies) sold at conventions, events, and some specialty stores and marketed mostly by word-of-mouth.
Most of the people involved in endeavors like […]
Where’re the Kids!? | Wednesday, February 21st, 2007
Posted in Comics
The upcoming Komiks Congress has me a bit worried lately.
Apparently, as far as I can tell, the new generation of comic book creators and publishers is severely under-represented with the majority of the people sitting in the Congress coming from the veterans’ ranks. Then again the purpose of the Congress is to “promote awareness of […]

This one is a caricature drawn and colored by Edgar Tadeo (Lastikman, Wolverine) of me as The X-Men’s Nightcrawler.
Edgar is probably one of the most versatile local artists we have right now working the international market with him being able to draw, ink, color, and letter (not all at the same time, of course).
He also […]
Frank Miller’s 300 | Saturday, February 17th, 2007

I’ve seen the new trailer for Frank Miller’s graphic novel 300 movie adaptation on the cinema while waiting for Ghost Rider to start (click here for my thoughts on the movie). 300 is absolutely breath taking.
If there is one word I can use to describe the movie in terms of the trailer it is this: […]

It was just too good to pass up.
Catwoman looks like she’s extremely pleased with herself and Batman…well, his […]
