This year's NovKon will be held on November 15
at the regular Kon venue, the Bayanihan Center on Pioneer.
The ‘Verse will
be there, as usual, and as far as new issues go, we’ve got a double Dakila
whammy for all you mighty fine folk…
In alphabetical
order:
DAKILA: Buwan
Issue 2 (of 3)
By David
Hontiveros and Jason Confesor
[Front Cover]
Your name is Brandon Ramirez and you’ve
been a geek your whole life: comics, movies, RPGs, cosplay.
And now you’re officially the world’s
first superhero, as evidenced by the cape, the mask, the totally ripped
physique, and those crazy-awesome powers.
Higher agencies seem to have conspired to
steer you right into that skintight outfit.
We have only one question: How’s that
working out for you?
It’s been 96
days since 18-year old Brandon Ramirez first became Dakila.
His girlfriend
Haliya is a lunar princess, whose childhood bestie, Agrios, is a demon-werewolf
hybrid who’s none too thrilled with the teen superhero hanging around…
In “Bad Moon
Rising” (the first part of “Balatkayo”), join us to celebrate someone’s
birthday with some deception and a side order of treachery!
Plus, Brandon
and Haliya go out dancing.
Sort of.
Dakila. 18 years old. Cosmic champion.
Whoever thought being in love could get this
insane?

DAKILA: Metronom
Issue 1 (of 3)
By David
Hontiveros and Nonie Cruzado

It’s only been
19 days since 17-year old Brandon Ramirez first became Dakila.
And now, a viral
video is about to become instrumental in drawing him into the orbit of an
eccentric millionaire expat, and he’s about to find out just how dangerous
collecting rare colored vinyl can actually be…
Dakila. 17 years old. Cosmic champion.
All of a sudden, acne and getting a
driver’s license are so not a big deal.

So there you go.
I should point
out though that there’s still a chance there’ll be one more new issue, provided
it can come in under the wire.
So send out some
good karma for us, so we can have a third new ‘Verse issue at NovKon.
Hope to see all
you mighty fine folk there.
And, in other news…
I was
interviewed a couple of weeks back by the mighty fine Ruey De Vera of the Sunday Inquirer Magazine.
As I understand
it, the article will appear in the November 2 edition, so check it out if you
get the chance.
you can’t drink
just six,
Dave
