Welcome back! Don't forget to subscribe to the Comicgasm RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
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!
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.

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!

YES! My first post after a hiatus and my first Marvel related post at the same time. Looking at the current Disney buying Marvel context, I wonder if the 2011 movie Hands of Shang Chi will have Disney’s say on it? Read the rest of this entry »

This post is dedicated to compiling ALL Disney/Marvel-related puns, badly shooped images and badly drawn original art. If you are a Marvel purist that cannot take a joke, please stay so we can laugh at your misfortune.
Ade and I agreed that he’ll make the written sensiblejokes(READ: things that might actually make sense) and I’ll just spam all the images that I can scour from the intertubes. Here we go!

This was supposed to be a Best and Worst Cosplay post, but I realized that two things: 1. Finding clear pictures of those undesirables would be very hard, since uhh, why would anyone take pictures of them? 2. I wanted to burn your eyes, but I’d have to burn my eyes all over again to do that.
So fuck it, here’s the best cosplay of Metro Comic Con. According to me, of course. Didn’t stay long enough to find out who won, didn’t really care.(but someone PLEASE tell me the watchmen group won plz plz plz)
Images arranged by filename. Slightly resized, click for full resolution. Hover over the images for the captions. Here we go:

My Metro Comic Con Experience: Stages of Melodrama
Posted in Anime, Comicpeoples, Events, Real Life stuff, ToysI know you’re all expecting my Best and Worst Cosplay post so you can ogle at scantily clad teenagers, but I’m experiencing Internet problems(read: forgot to pay the bills again) so I made this post while leeching wifi from various establishments.
So here’s the MCC experience from the defective eyes of yours truly:
DAY 1
Shock and Horror
You reach the 5th floor of SM Megamall and the first thing you see is a man dressed as a gothic lolita. ’nuff said. Near the ticket booth are animu characters that you don’t recognize; no complaints about them, manga = comics after all. And then you realize half of them are actually men(I am not homophobic, except maybe in cons). Oh, and more gothic lolitas.
Rage and Despair
You enter the megatrade hall, expecting to see your favorite superheroes. Only to find.. You’ve guessed it, more gothic lolitas! You try your best to look for any western/local comic book characters but end up seeing a man in a school girl outfit.
