Hello Sweeties,

Last week my son and I went to one of our pilgrimages, it involves one of my passions which is Komiks. This year only Jarod and I attended since Raffy was busy with her University studies. We arrived very early since we only ever spend 1/2 a day at the Komikon anyway. This post is really about my haul and what I have read so far.

Please bear with this photo heavy post.

The first booth I went to was the Anino/ Adarna Booth.

Lire by Magtira Paolo, finished this and I found that the truth in this piece is so tangible I was in tears after reading it.

Ako ang Bayan written by PD Guinto and illustrated by Manix Abrera Short but very very hopeful book that talks about the hero in all of us.

Manix Abrera’s 14th book, it came in two covers. I have not read this yet

Janus Silang comics, I know there are 2 books and this comics so far about Janus Silang, I am saving this book for last so I have not gotten around to reading it.

Hello Sweeties!

My beasties and I have made it our yearly tradition to line up at the Bonifacio High Street branch of Fullybøoked every year since 2015 for the Free Comicbook Day. It is not really about “Free” comics, but mostly it is about hanging out together and enjoying some of the titles offered. I found that the “free” ones are a great way to browse new titles.

We are sitting on the grass while waiting for Fullybooked doors to open

As early as two days before the actually event people started camping out. In the past years Fullybooked and Comix Odyssey offered early birds freebies, as in the copies of all the free comics offered that year to the first three people in line. I don’t think they have it this year but still I see post of people lining up.

My kids and I woke up at around 5am and Ubered our way to Bonifacio High Street and were there past 6am a crowd of people have pooled themselves there already.

We came earlier this year, the beasties were looking forward to the activity. A staff of Fullybooked BHS was there manning the end of the line to give out tickets like last year.

The heat was scotching! Good thing, the beasties and I had our umbrellas and the battery operated fan handy or we could not have survived!
