Yes! We finally have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and black rings! So after collecting all the crayola corps rings, we decided to have some fun and make fools of ourselves at the same time! Not content with wearing matching rings and shirts in public and getting people confused if we’re supposed to be power rangers or what, we decided to post pictures for everyone to see!
Mouse over the pics for the captions!

Hello there boys and girls! This is RJ and Ade reporting once more with another joint post! As any comic book geek worth his or her salt knows, yesterday just so happened to be the most important day to any comic enthusiast, especially the ones with a fondness for local comics. Yesterday was KomiKon 2009! Huzzah!
[RJ: Okay Ade, that opening paragraph was just horrible, you see. It's fucking cheesy. That is one big-ass run on sentence. Also, it came off as a bit gay.
ADE: What- whatever RJ, you get to have your name first in the introduction even though I wrote that shit. Fag.]
<this is the part where you write something, RJ>
Okay, so the Comicgasm crew [that’s me and three other guys… wut] and I [The only one who actually went to Komikon... wut] will be doing a week-long event to commemorate our local komiks[and hopefully get free stuff from them... wut].
Also, even though Ade wasn’t able to attend the said event, he was able to lay his grubby hands on a copy of Go-Beerkada. Aside from the obligatory half-assed review (something the Comicgasm crew should totally stop Ade from doing), [ ADE: GODDAMMIT RJ WHAT ARE YOU INSERTING IN MY BEAUTIFUL PARAGRAPH NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR DICK] he’s also going to talk at length about how a friend of his embarassed himself in front of Lyndon Gregorio [RJ: WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR FRIEND WE'RE DOING COMICS HERE NOT REAL LIFE OKAY IT'S MY TURN]
Ok, before we drive all our readers away… We’ve decided to make several Komikon-related posts and reviews. Here’s what’s gonna happen in the next few days :
- RJ will write about cosplay [Correction, Costrip. THERE WAS NO COSPLAY EVENT! DAMN WEEABOOS!], about the event itself and will review Kubori Kikiam and Kiko Machine
- Fiel and David will be reviewing Trese: Mass Murders and Bayan Knights #3 [FIEL & DAVID: Um, we are? Wait, we don't even have Wave accounts! How is this even possible!]
- And Ade, the something something of the something something <insert penis joke here>, will be reviewing Go-Beerkada and Komikero Anthology #3
- Up next should totally be a closing paragraph.
So yeah, people. Please do enjoy as we take you to a crazy ride through KomiKon week! Also, if the entry’s schizoprenic nature is confusing you, please note that this was the first-ever Comicgasm post written in Google Wave! Yep, what you are reading right is now a little piece of comic book blogging history. [RJ: Comic book blogging history? Is there even such a thing? ADE: I'm winging it here, man.]
And before we end up killing each other this post, we’d like to thank the Komikon organizers for making this event happen! See you next year!
P.S. I think we’ve confused the reader well enough.
P.P.S. Stop dicking around in Wave, Ade RJ.
P.P.P.S. MABUHAY ANG PEKPEK!

Why my wallet hates me: Planet X Anniversary, Komikon 09 and Comic Quest 3-Day Sale
Posted in Events, Indie, Real Life stuffI’ve been emo and single for the past 5 days, only reason I’m posting is because Ade and Fiel threatened to steal my alcohol collection if I dont(they know where I live). But I realized that there’s no better way to keep my state of denial than distracting myself with geeky hobbies(and alcohol). And what do we have here? THREE comic book events this weekend? Why must you do this to me? WHY?
Due to Typhoon Pepeng, this event has been postponed and moved to 17 October 2009 with same time schedule. I’ll be wearing my Red Lantern shirt, feel free to invade my personal space.
- October 18, 2009
- 10 am – 9pm
- Megatrade Hall 1, 5th Level Bldg. B, SM Megamall
- Ticket Price: P80.00

Ondoy. Help out, guys.
Posted in Real Life stuffHi guys. This is Ade here, reporting for Comicgasm. We just want you guys to know that we’re alive and all despite Ondoy, even after a few white-knuckle hours because our intrepid writer Fiel went MIA (he’s ok, FYI).
Anyway. I’m reporting that I survived Ondoy unscathed, with no property damage whatsoever. However, I can’t say the same for some of our countrymen.

Comicgasm facts!
Posted in Bloggy stuff, Blogpeoples, Local, MISC, Real Life stuff, WTF, filler, gademitApparently we made it into the finals of the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 <– Click here to see us in the list!
While I honestly don’t EXPECT us to win, I do HOPE!
Such is me in my blue lantern shirt:
But hope isn’t enough of course! Comicgasm would have never made it into the finals if it weren’t for us being awesome in one way or another. We sure ain’t gonna win if we just sit back and scratch our balls while staring at the sky as w usually do. Sure we delay posts 80% of the time – but really, what made us into the finals I wonder?
So I sought to describe Comicgasm and I learned that we are awesome because of a few things that we are. Some of these are essential truths that make up the fabric of the universe itself and cannot be defied! Deny them at your own cost.
COMICGASM FACTS:
-The name of Comicgasm was derived from two words: comics and orgasm. Therefore, whenever we post, someone has an orgasm.
-Contrary to popular belief, there is explicit nudity & visual sex scenes in DC, Marvel & Archie comics. Comicgasm simply chooses to keep those pages to ourselves. (See Justice League: Cry for Justice #2 and Archie #601)
- It is a well known fact that only three organisms in the world have pleasure when they have sex: Man, dolphins & Comicgasm.
- When Darkseid hits you with his Omega ray, you don’t die. You just Comicgasm.
- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice – but only because he was trying to measure the amount of testosterone in Comicgasm.
- Superboy-Prime thought Comicgasm was stupid. Therefore the Legion of Three Worlds exists.
- DC & Marvel once disapproved a superhero idea inspired by Comicgasm’s awesome claiming the character was too powerful. Instead it was turned into a joke. We now know this as the Chuck Norris Facts.
- The modern Marvel comic book series no longer mentions the Infinity Gems. This is because Comicgasm has paid Marvel not to reveal where we get our awesome.
- Disney bought Marvel so they can finally have enough money to pay Comicgasm for Walt Disney’s cryogenically frozen body.
- The Nick Fury character was based on Samuel L. Jackson. The Samuel L. Jackson character was based on Comicgasm.
- The Green Lanterns recite an oath from the guardians. The Guardians recite an oath from Comicgasm.
- Comicgasm confronts the Guardians of the Universe with a Poke’ball and shouts “I choose you!”
- A member of Comicgasm has in fact met, sat down and chatted with Neil Gaiman – without knowing who he was. (and got him addicted to calamansi juice – see proof here.)
- When Alan Moore once got writer’s block in coming up with a character for his novel, he read Comicgasm. Inspired he created Dr. Manhattan.
- Comicgasm designed the costumes of Power Girl & Black Canary and hates the design of Wonder Woman’s costume – saying it ain’t revealing enough.
- When the Hulk gets angry, he gets bigger. When Comicgasm gets horny, he gets BIGGER.
- Comicgasm was supposed to be superhero – but we refused to wear spandex. Not because we don’t like spandex, but because we ALWAYS have a hard-on.
- Comicgasm won a hard-on contest with The Thing.
- Comicgasm won a staring contest with Daredevil.
- Comicgasm has retractable claws but no healing factor. We don’t need it. We like bleeding awesome.
- Comicgasm owns Dominic Ochoa’s long lost twin brother.
AND THAT’S IT. I finally know what lead us to this place so far!
If you have any more Comicgasm facts, pls pls COMMENT! XD

So I have my comic book stash for the week ready, but I just can’t do my reviews just yet. Too lazy. So instead of making some half-assed review that’ll probably incite some nerd rage, let me just plug this event for you instead:
Yeah, Black Market EX. Personally, I’m not a toy collector (not that I don’t want to be one, but it’s an expensive hobby and I might have to let go of a girl or two from my harem because of the expenses) but I could see by now that it’s going to be pretty freaking sweet.

OK RJ today is COMIC RELEASE DAY and if you don’t post today, blame Magic the Gathering and his vacation trip to Lala Land – the place where love is true and unfortunately, the ONLY thing.
We’ve all been there folks! And thus I’m free to do soem risky moves today. So instead of doing my usual Green Lantern Geoff Johns-ass kissing, I’ll write about what happened to me this morning. (uh-oh).
Arrived in the office, with tons of work to do I log on to YM and notice that an OLD friend from high school was online – Lico Reloj. I remember conducting a “Comics and Photography” workshop to make an excuse to get high school women of Assumption Antipolo from their stern nunnery and into our influence. Needless to say we really enjoyed the hell out of it.
But like all crooked things I do, I am completely honest about it. Lico IS a comic man – a highly underrated comic writer and artist at that from the Philippines, now living in the U.S. I’m trying to justify why we got high school girls from AA. Besides, I was high school at that time. He has graciously linked me to a webcomic with a character based upon himself – THE FIFTY PESO NINJA.
As you guys will have to read and comment on the comic, I assure you that it is AWESOME. It mixes wit, Japanese manga con hielo tastefully topped off with a Filipino flavor. It has action, comedy and boobies. I swear. The FPN is a hero to us geeks everywhere.
I swear guys not all that glitters is downloaded from Kaskus. Check out this webcomic and once you finish reading it, we’ll have a rally to bug Lico to make more issues.
CHECK OUT THE FIFTY PESO NINJA HERE!!! —> http://www.fiftypesoninja.smackjeeves.com
FYI – Fifty Peso Ninja was nominated for BEST WEBCOMIC. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

How many movies translated from comics, games, old cartoons, etc. has a cast that caters to its fans? Not many I assume.
The thing is, movie companies are always just about making PROFIT! So they go overboard in catering to the target market and thus we have an American Son Goku, a frail looking man as Eddie Brock and Ben Affleck as Daredevil.
And this is why The Tekken Movie BLOWS me away. I assumed an American would be playing Jin blah blah blah…
And I was 50% right! He’s an American-Asian martial artist – which makes it even better! This is Jon Foo as Jin Kazama.
I was with David Nakpil when we checked out the full cast – here are the ones that got our minds blowing!
Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa as Heihachi Mishima – remember the 1st Mortal Kombat movie? He was Shang Tsung. Yes he’s still buff. And yes, he’s much older than that picture now.
