by on Jul.28, 2010, under Reviews

The first issue of “The Sixth Gun” published by Oni Press and created by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt was made available to the public during Free Comic Book day. The first issue packed so much punch and made you want to read more which is a testament to how well-written it is.

REVIEWS: Adventure Comics #5, Invincible Iron Man #21

by on Dec.13, 2009, under DC, Iron Man, Marvel, Reviews

Oh look, it’s me again, battling a fever so I can write up the blogosphere’s best (even though it’s a few days deleyed) comic book reviews!

Adventure Comics #5

I didn’t like Adventure Comics #4, for some reason. Maybe I was accustomed to Blackest Night tie-ins taking themselves too seriously that I totally got lost in the wacky fourth wall-breaking issue. (continue reading…)

Kick-Ass Trailer!

by on Nov.12, 2009, under Marvel, Movies, News

I may be indifferent to most of Mark Millar’s works, but Kick-Ass is one of my favorite comics. I just find it funny how the movie gets finished first before the graphic novel. I’m pretty sure all of us comic book nerds have dreamed of going out in a costume and fighting crime. In fact, you can all place bets on which Comicgasm writer will snap first and do a Kick-Ass! (My money’s on Fiel)

Speaking of the Kick-Ass movie, here’s the trailer. Relish it. It’s fucking awesome.

Kick-Ass, directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring Aaron Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, opens in April 2010.

Blue and Gold Filler: Chocos!

by on Nov.02, 2009, under DC, filler, Story Time

We interrupt your regularly scheduled filler for a super special B&G filler! Blue Beetle and Booster Gold – best comic book couple duo ever! Yes, B&G is totally more fabulous than B&R!

THIS IS PROOF, PEOPLEbng not gay

And coz I love you guys, I’m posting a whole 22-page comic book in this here filler post! Story Time! From the pages of Martian Manhunter #24, we go down memory lane to the 1990′s incarnation of the Justice League. Most people in the DCU remember the 90′s JLI/JLE as the embarrassing era of the League, and they’re probably right. But most old fans would agree with me when I say that the JLI/JLE is the most amusing era of the league. We will never forgive DC for giving us Identity Crisis. Never.

KomiKon Week at Comicgasm!

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!
