'VERSE UPDATE 2020 (2)

Aaaaaaand here we go!

Two new releases and a good mix of previously released issues, some of which are being made available to order online for the first time:

DAKILA: Siyudad Issue 1 (of 4)
David Hontiveros / Pyotr Mutuc
B&W / Wraparound cover / 24 pages / 5.5 x 8.5 inches / 100 pesos
 
The oikoumene is the physical plane we all live in.
But just beyond the Veil, there’s the Darkside, the diabul, where creatures from folklore and myth, entities divine and infernal, creatures undead and spectral, reside.
And Dakila’s about to enter the diabul--on Halloween, of all nights--to help young Maleck de los Santos with a personal quest.
What could go wrong?

DAKILA: Siyudad Issue 2 (of 4) [New Release]
David Hontiveros / Pyotr Mutuc
B&W / Wraparound cover / 24 pages / 6.5 x 10 inches / 160 pesos
 
Where Makati stands today used to be a swamp, a long time ago.
In the diabul, something’s about to rise from that swamp…
And it isn’t in a very good mood…

KADASIG: Walanghanggan Issue 1 (of 3) [New Release]
David Hontiveros / Romnick Magbanua
B&W / Colored cover / 36 pages / 6.5 x 10 inches / 230 pesos
 
There is a sentient horror movie, a diabolic film that constantly hungers to completely draw its audience into its narrative.
Literally.
And Kadasig is about to become its star attraction…

MASKARADO / DAKILA: Silver Like Dust
David Hontiveros / Reno Maniquis
B&W / Full color cardstock cover / 28 pages / 5.5 x 8.5 inches / 200 pesos
 
Maskarado: “Manila’s Masked Marvel.”
Dakila: his world’s “cosmic champion.”
These two heroes from different dimensions are about to face an enemy driven by madness and greed.
An enemy who wants all the power in the world for himself.
Including theirs.
 
And, for Brandon Ramirez, all the skintight spandex craziness starts here, in the 3-issue introductory arc…
 
DAKILA: Kapalaran

Issue 1
David Hontiveros / Bibo Reyes
B&W / Full color cover / 24 pages / 5.5 x 8.5 inches / 130 pesos
 
In which Dakila meets some corporate angels and the Devil…

Issue 2
David Hontiveros / Romnick Magbanua
B&W / 44 pages / 5.5 x 8.5 inches / 160 pesos
 
In which Dakila gets some training, we find out what’s up with his MIA mom, we discover which trusted ally is lying straight to his face, and the Devil does SPOILER!

Issue 3
David Hontiveros / Enel Lawrence Villegas
B&W / 32 pages / 6.5 x 10 inches / 190 pesos
 
In which we witness some cosplay, and Brandon’s official public debut as a superhero.
 
So there we go.
 
Please click on over to the Indies section of the Avenida website for more details (and preview pages), and, you know, to do the ordering…
 
Meanwhile, please stay safe and sane, people!

POST-KOMIKON GRANDE 2019 POST

Before I enter my post-Kon Deep Recovery Mode, let me take this opportunity to thank all you mighty fine folk who dropped by on Saturday to completely hoover up stocks meant for both Kon days in 4 hours and 43 minutes...

Marvin, Budjette, and I sincerely hope you enjoyed the first adventure of our Divinely Dynamic Duo, Dakila and Fr. Matt.
And if you did, please spread the word and the love because there's certainly more where that came from.

I'd also like to thank all you mighty fine folk who picked up the latest DAKILA release

as well as those of you who inquired as to the best starting point for any new DAKILA readers.
I hope all of you enjoyed the issues you went home with, and again, if you did, please spread the word and the love.

And for everyone who dropped by to have their books and comics signed, thanx so much as well.

Special shout-out to Alexander, who proudly proclaimed his Dakila fandom by giving his vocal recommendations for which issues would be good reads.

And to the Visprint Crew, thanx for the hospitality.

Thanx so much, one and all.

And while I enter Deep Recovery Mode, please keep in mind, if you've got any questions (for Iunctura in particular, and Dakila and the 'Verse in general), then please feel free to leave them in the Comments section.
So long as the questions aren't too spoiler-y or too personal, I'll do my best to answer them in a future Addendum piece.
Or, you can also email us (at the address listed in any 'Verse release) with any thoughts and questions and comments.
We'd love to hear from you.

Parting Shot:

In addition, these issues of DAKILA are available to order online here, at the Indie Komiks Market section of mervstore.com.

KOMIKON GRANDE 2019
'VERSE ANNOUNCEMENT

We're less than a month out from this year's Komikon Grande (or good old NovKon, as I still like to think of it).
While one other issue is still in the final stages of prep (the same issue I mentioned in this post), I can officially announce this one:

DAKILA: Kapalaran

Issue 3 (of 3)

David Hontiveros / Enel Lawrence Villegas

My name's Brandon Ramirez.
I'm 17 years old.
And I have a secret.
I know. What 17-year-old doesn't have secrets?
Well, mine's a big one.

"Big one" indeed, as we bring the Kapalaran story arc to a close with this section of Dakila's "origin" story, in which Brandon makes his public debut as Dakila!

Dakila. 17 years old. Cosmic champion.

All of a sudden, acne and getting a driver’s license are so not a big deal anymore.

So there you go.
Save the dates: November 23 & 24, Saturday and Sunday.

Hope to see all you mighty fine folk at the Bayanihan Center for Komikon Grande 2019!
Look for me at the Visprint booth.

In addition, these issues of DAKILA are also available to order online here, at the Indie Komiks Market section of mervstore.com.
