X Necrosha: Really, Marvel?
by Ade Magnaye on Oct.26, 2009, under Marvel, News
Okay, okay, I know I still haven’t finished my Go-Beerkada: The Rise Of The Jhologs review yet, but this piece of news caught my eye and I really can’t resist blogging about it.

So, over at Marvel, the X-Books are preparing for this big event called X Necrosha. Here’s the solicitation for the one shot that’ll kick off the crossover, helpfully provided by IGN:
Death has come to the X-Men. The one true Black Queen has returned, and she wants nothing less than every soul of mutantkind…dead or alive. And everyone that’s ever crossed Selene is going to pay. The dead rise, familiar faces haunt mutants across the world, and Selene takes her final steps into becoming a god.
It all begins here in a full-length X-FORCE extravaganza, and continues in the pages of next month’s issue of X-FORCE…but the shockwaves of this terrifying event will be felt in NEW MUTANTS and X-MEN: LEGACY as well, and those reverberations begin here in two all-new bonus tales.
… really, Marvel? I love zombies and all, but… what the flying fuck?
KomiKon Week at Comicgasm!
by RJ on Oct.19, 2009, under Events, Indie, Local, pinoy comics, Real Life stuff
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!
Kick-Ass Clips. I Came.
by Ade Magnaye on Aug.05, 2009, under Icon, Indie, Movies, News
UPDATE: Ah fuck. They took down the clips. I’m looking for more clips for you guys. Oh well. Or you can check this out.
I kind of hate Mark Millar after pulling that little event called “Civil War” out of his ass and he shat on Iron Man. Okay, the status quo that came out of it was one of the best universe shakeups ever, but the main event book felt rushed and didn’t live up to its potential.
Anyway, my point is that even if I hated Civil War, I love what he’s done with The Ultimates and the Millarverse (yeah, even if he’s named an entire universe after himself, I’ll let it slide). Wanted is such an awesome book that I actually forgave Millar for Civil War after reading it. Let’s not talk about the stupid movie adaptation and its prophetic loom.
Another Millar book that I totally love is the superhero satire/deconstruction Kick-Ass. I love the very mundane origin story, the superhero parody, and the artwork. Oh, the art. John Romita Jr’s not my favorite artist, but he’s coming out with the best artwork he’s done since, well, the 90′s. (continue reading…)
