coverage : Mico Suayan autograph signing and Werewolf by Night #1 comic book launching at Comic Odyssey

Written by Azrael Coladilla on 5:06 AM Sunday, January 11, 2009



I went to the comic book launching of "Dead of Night featuring Werewolf by Night #1" and it is also the autograph signing of Mico Suayan, who is our penciler for that comics, published under Marvel Comics, and written by Duane Swierczynski. I just read some comic reviews last wednesday here on the net, and they say that the art of Mico here for Werewolf by Night is a little bit tone down, and because many of you are familiar with his works in Moonknight, you might get an idea here for looking a new style that Mico wants to deliver, and I just confirmed it with him awhile ago that he is working on this new style, more on realistic and not too edgy like what he did for Moonknight.

It was a great day for comics once again, and marvelous conversation with the artist, and we were joined by Edgat Tadeo and it was followed by Jay Anacleto after his comic signing event in another venut later that evening. Thanks to Comic Odyssey for event and also allowing us to hang out in the shop ahhaha. grab the book and check it out.

Tony De Zuniga : Super Heroes 2 gallery exhibit Opening event coverage

Shanna, queen of the Savage Land

I failed to attend the opening event of Tony De Zuniga's Super Heroes 2 at the Crucible in Megamall. I'm glad that our friend Ernest Hernandez took some cool photo coverage and shared to us. Love to see new painting artworks done by Tony De Zuniga, and from here at home, by looking at it, my favorite piece is the Shanna painting with the big cat behind. There is also Vampirella for my 2nd favorite set and finally the Red Sonja with a giant iguana, I really like his drawing on female characters, and from the look of it, very classic and sexy.

It is all comics characters for this year, compare to last year, it was a mix up of comic characters like Jonah Hex, Red Sonja and Batman, mixed with still life paintings.

The exhibit is til January 29, 2009. So visit the Crucible gallery, check it out..and you might have an interest in purchasing some of the greatest piece of comics artwork by artist extraordinaire Tony De Zuniga.

J.Torres and Elbert Or comic book signing event in Comic Odyssey coverage

DC comics writer for Teen Titans Go! and Ninja Scroll, J.Torres joins Oni Press comics artist Elbert Or for a comic book signing event and also preview of their team up project for Oni Press entitled "Lola: A Ghost Story", that will be available this Summer 2009 in Comic Odyssey and all comic shops.

I arrived late for the comic book signing, but on time to meet and have a talk with J. Torres (J. is for Joseph) at the Comic Odyssey in Robinsons Galeria, me and Mark surfed the MRT just to reach there almost on time to meet the comics star after attending an afternoon event in Manila. The comic shop is still full with comics fans, buyers and artists, and it looks like that it is another comic convention forming inside the mall. Sandy Sansolis, owner of the store brought us to this table full of comics and gave us copies of Teen Titans Go, Ninja Scroll and X-men Ronins. It was great to have comics to sign, because I told Mark and Sandy that I got a lot of DC for kids comics at home and failed to bring it with me and it has reprints of Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans Go.
