Welcome back! Don't forget to subscribe to the Comicgasm RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Welcome back traveller! Let me, Ade, treat you to this week’s unbelievably-late-but-still-ass-kicking reviews, brought to you only by Comicgasm.
Ok, Black Mask, let’s see some of that pimp hand you’re famous for.
Batman #692
This is Tony Daniel’s first Batman issue. I’m really not too keen on reading his run on Batman because I’ve been left utterly unimpressed by Battle Of The Cowl.
And really, I am disappointed with this issue. There are quite a few problems with this issue – Daniel crammed way too many story threads. Read the rest of this entry »

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!

Blog Action Day hey Ade think of a title
Posted in MISCHey guys, this is the first-ever Comicgasm joint entry! Well, it’s just Ade and RJ (coz Fiel has way too much in his hands right now, mind you), and what we’re doing here is Comicgasm’s little bit of civic duty! We’re going to help save the earth.
So guys, remember, it’s Blog Action Daaaaay! Except it’s about to end in 15 minutes! But hey, it’s still noon in New York!
You see, Captain Planet visited the Comicgasm offices today. We were all busy getting handjobs from Eastern European prostitutes working hard to write the high-quality kind of comic book reviews Comicgasm is known for: a little rushed and done half-heartedly, and peppered liberally with dick jokes. Then OMGSH it’s Captain Planet tapping our windows with that creepy pedo-smile of his! Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Delayed Review: Ultimate Comics Avengers #1, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1
Posted in Marvel, Reviews, Ultimate ComicsHey there sports fans. This is Ade, and I’ve finally found the time to sit down and review some comics for you guys. I noticed that DC’s getting massive coverage in this here blog (and it shouldn’t be a surprise, really, considering three out of three editors here are big DC fans).
So I’m going to make it a point to review as many Marvel Comics here as humanly possible. And this week, I’m going to review the two Ultimate Comics that came out this week.
You see, these comics are peculiar. The Ultimate line, after that godawful crossover called Ultimatum (the less said about it the better, really), has been rebranded as “Ultimate Comics.” Personally, I find the rebranding a bit weird, but I can’t really put my finger on it.
Anyway, we’re not here to discuss the merits of Marvel’s latest rebranding effort. We’re here to talk about comics!
