Death is Banned

4 Comments »

death-note.jpgApparently, comic books are still quite dangerous…according to the Chinese Government, that is.

“BEIJING (Kyodo) China has confiscated close to 6,000 of Japan’s popular “Death Note” comic books as part of a crackdown on horror publications that it deems harmful to children, according to state-run media.

The 5,912 comic books join 11,930 other “illegal horror books” that have already been swept from shelves across the country, Xinhua news agency reported late Wednesday.”

Captain America Slated for the Big Screen

2 Comments »

“Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Marvel Comics‘ President of Production Kevin Feige says the next superhero movie will be Captain America.”

Though a director has yet to be named it has been revealed that a screenplay is already in development (with David Self assigned with the writing chores). Projected release of the feature film is going to be in 2009.

That should give MARVEL enough time to bring Steve Rogers back to life.

That Chick is Poison

1 Comment »

Poison Ivy, that is.

But, as any self-respecting comic book geek will tell you, the girl IS literally poison. Her body secretes various floral toxins to injure or intoxicate so better watch out. She does look quite interesting, however.

Want to get to know more of this pretty (and deadly) flower? Well then, check this out:

Comics for the Deaf

1 Comment »

The Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf is a school whose principal aim is “to assist the hearing impaired in getting a better chance to compete for employment, education and other opportunities like every other citizen”.

As part of their mission to disseminate information about deafness, deaf and their culture, the MCCID began publishing a comic strip depicting a Filipino Deaf to help others to better understand their condition, the challenges they face on a daily basis, and show the lighter side of the kind of life they lead.

Click here to read the comics.

Several cartoonists are credited for the drawings some of which are Sir Oscar M. Purificacion and Diane A. Barcelona.

The comic strips’ topic, though the drawings themselves are a bit raw, is quite refreshing because it is so different from the usual fare that we get on a daily basis. The fact that it serves a greater purpose other than self aggrandizement doesn’t hurt either.

Do check it out!

New Webcomics Uploaded

No Comments »

Got new stuff uploaded. Check them out! :D

realitysuckslogo.gif Reality Sucks
One of my earliest attempt at making a comic book. I made it back when I was in my second year of college. It’s about a dirty dream I had. ‘Nuff said!

flashback.gifGRAPHIC DETAIL: Flashback
Re-publishing online two old favorite GRAPHIC DETAIL strips of mine. One is about customer service and the other was an actual conversation I had via SMS.

buhay-kartunista.gif Buhay Kartunista
Quite literally means, “The Life of a Cartoonist”. Loosely based on some artist friends experiences (and my own, of course) as poor struggling cartoonists trying to make it.

sally.gifLong Tall Sally
Is a 4-page vampire story I drew (back when I was still trying to ape Adam Hughes style) and wrote. This is the first time I tried my hand at using poetry as a narrative device.

dylan.jpg Dylan Liwanag: The Mag:net Gig!
Dylan Liwanag is a 5-man band composed of people from IAS Manila, Inc. This 3-page webcomic is a photo-comic made from pictures we took during our first gig at Mag:net Bar in Katipunan.

These are my webcomics!
