KomiKon Week: Obligatory Filler Entry
by Ade Magnaye on Oct.23, 2009, under filler
I know we’re supposed to do some KomiKon reviews, but we’re busy and all. And for that, we apologize.
In the meantime, here’s a picture of Toad rimming Iron Man.

We hope that suffices for our lack of updates.
KomiKon Week: Go-Beerkada: The Rise of the Jhologs – Review Part 1
by Ade Magnaye on Oct.20, 2009, under Indie, Local, pinoy comics, Reviews
This is KomiKon Week at Comicgasm, and although I wasn’t there (something I so utterly regret), I had a good friend pick up a copy of Lyndon Gregorio’s Go-Beerkada: The Rise of the Jhologs.

Before I go on rambling about the review, the way my friend was able to acquire this little piece of comic book history is a bit of a story by itself. You see, ever since it was advertised on Beerkada’s website, I wanted to get my hands on Go-Beerkada.
So when KomiKon came and I didn’t have time to go there, I immediately bugged a friend to buy me a copy of Go-Beerkada. Unfortunately, he has never heard of Beerkada before. How the heck that happened, I don’t know. Anyway, he was going around Megatrade Hall looking for the elusive Beerkada graphic novel. (continue reading…)
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!
