2018 NOVEMBER KOMIKON POST-KON POST

Another November Komikon in the rearview mirror, and, for all you mighty fine folk who dropped by on Day 1, let me extend my thanx for your support.
I hope you enjoy your comic purchases and freebies.

And for all you mighty fine folk who passed by on Day 2 to find me MIA, I extend my sincerest apologies.
I am so, so, SO sorry I wasn't in attendance on Day 2.
I'll spare you the details, but I had a fall Saturday night after NovKon Day 1 wrapped up, so my left knee and foot got banged up and swollen, so I couldn't attend Day 2, as much as I really wanted to.
I'm still recovering and need to ensure that all the injuries are healing properly, so I also need to keep this short.

Once again, SO sorry to anyone who passed by on Day 2.
Rest assured, I fully intend to resume all the discounts and freebies at the next Komikon (since there are still freebie supplies left over), so we can think of the next Komikon as a delayed NovKon 2018 Day 2...

Also, for any artists who might have dropped by on Day 2 in regards to the ARTIST ALERT, another round of apologies.
You can still email us at verse.comics@gmail.com. (Subject Heading: ARTIST ALERT)
As I've said before, we really would love to hear from you.

Okay, so I'll need to leave it at that for now.
Again, thanx to everyone who dropped by on Day 1, and apologies to everyone who might have dropped by on Day 2.
(Also, HUGE thanx to Nida and the Visprint Crew, particularly for having to deal with my Day 2 absence, and to Ace, who tried, but work got in the way...)

Hope to see all you mighty fine folk at the next Komikon, and please, continue to support local comic book writers and artists!

you can’t drink just six,

Dave

2018 NOVEMBER KOMIKON ANNOUNCEMENT #4

It's the 30th of October, which means tomorrow is the 31st.
So, here's hoping all you mighty fine folk have a Happy (and safe) Halloween!

It also means that we're eighteen days out from this year's November Komikon (November 17 & 18), and look!
Announcement number four!

NEW 'VERSE COMIC RELEASE

DAKILA: Legado 
Issue 2A (of 3)

David Hontiveros / Michael Urbano

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?

A reunion between fellow reprobated angels Raguel and Adimus turns contentious when Adimus' new "mission" is revealed.
Naturally, Dakila arrives just in time for the fisticuffs...

Dakila.

18 years old.
Cosmic champion.

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

So, yeah! Freebies!
Discounts!
And new releases!

And speaking of discounts...
Aside from the 'Verse packs (all completed story arcs available at a discounted price), we'll also be introducing 'Verse packets at NovKon.
Packets will consist of issues from unfinished story arcs that nonetheless still feature complete stories.
Like a group of one-and-dones (Dakila: Kapalaran issue 1 & Dakila: Buwan issue 1; art by Bibo Reyes and Jason Confesor, respectively)

and a complete two-parter (Dakila: Lumilim issues 1 & 2; art by Elmer Cantada).

So, discounts on compilations, discounts on packs, discounts on packets.
Discounts all around.

There you go.

Set the dates: November 17 & 18, at the Bayanihan Center on Pioneer.
Look for me (and the freebies and the discounts and the new comic book releases) at the Visprint booth!
And don't forget the ARTIST ALERT.

This post will also be, in all likelihood, the final post before NovKon. (Unless there's like a stealth ninja release that I am totally unaware of at the moment, which, as far as I know, there isn't.)
But please feel free to come back to the Iguana in these last 18 days before NovKon, just in case...

And please also feel free to spread a link to this post around, so we can get the word out.

Hope to see all you mighty fine folk at NovKon!

you can’t drink just six,

2018 NOVEMBER KOMIKON ANNOUNCEMENT #2

We're five weeks and two days out from this year's November Komikon (November 17 & 18), and look!
Announcement number two!

NEW COMIC BOOK RELEASE

BATHALA: APOKALYPSIS Issue 7 (of 7)

David Hontiveros / Ace Enriquez

Three and a half years ago, Bathala tried to avert the Apocalypse.

The whole world witnessed the hero engulfed by a cataclysmic explosion.

The whole world thought he was dead.

And it carried on without him, right down the path to damnation.

But now Bathala’s back.

Only to face the possibility of death once more…

For those of you who’ve been with us from the beginning…

It all ends here.

With “A Beast in the Theatre”.

BATHALA: APOKALYPSIS issue 7.

Launching at NovKon.

And with the release of the final issue, we're also offering a catch-up pack containing all the previous BATHALA: APOKALYPSIS issues, at the discounted price of P350.

So, yeah!
Freebies!
And a new release!

There you go.

Set the dates: November 17 & 18, at the Bayanihan Center on Pioneer.
Look for me (and the freebies and the new comic book release) at the Visprint booth!

And come on back to the Iguana to check for any new NovKon announcements every now and then.

And please also feel free to spread a link to this post around, so we can get the word out.

Hope to see all you mighty fine folk at NovKon!

2018 NOVEMBER KOMIKON ANNOUNCEMENT

We're six weeks and one day out from this year's November Komikon (November 17 & 18), and look!
Announcement!

To help with the promos we're having for all you mighty fine folk this NovKon, you'll find me situated at the Visprint booth for the two-day event.
And that's because we'll be giving away a limited number of copies of some of the Visprint books that I wrote, with purchases of 'Verse and BATHALA comic books!
Yes, giving away.
For FREE!!!

Here's how that's going to work.

If your total comic book purchase comes to 150 to 249 pesos, you'll be getting a free copy of a Penumbra novella (mostly Parman



--which, incidentally enough, directly connects to the 'Verse--though there will be a few stray copies of Takod 



 and Craving available, at least while the supplies last).



If your total comic book purchase comes to 250 to 349 pesos, you'll be getting a free copy of Seroks (either Iteration 1: Mirror Man 

or Iteration 2: Once in a Lifetime).

And if your total comic book purchase comes to 350 pesos and above, you'll be getting two free copies of Seroks (your choice of Iterations, while supplies last).

So, yeah!
Freebies!
(Again, while supplies last.)

I'll be adding links to subsequent NovKon announcements to this post as we get closer to November 17 & 18 (and there will be more announcements in the days to come), so please feel free to come back to the Iguana to check for anything new every now and then.
And please also feel free to spread a link to this post around, so we can get the word out.

Freebies!!!

So there you go.

Set the dates: November 17 & 18, at the Bayanihan Center on Pioneer.
Look for me (and the freebies) at the Visprint booth!
