The Komiket usually happens at Centris Elements but this time its a new venue, SM Mega Mall Trade Hall A. I don’t usually go to Mega Mall anymore because I felt it was too far away and I had other malls closer to home to shop for what I need.

Since it’s the Komiket and I have been waiting for a copy of Russel Molina’s Sixty-six, my son and I planned our commute.

The ticket cost 100php and totally worth it. The ticket itself is a great piece of art by comics creator and artist Mervin Malonzo the author of The Tabi-Tabi Po books, a Spanish era horror series you guys should really check out here.

They opened the gates of the Mega trade hall A around 11 AM. Which is a good thing Jarod and I were there at 11 AM.
