This year’s
Indieket will be held on August 15 at the Bayanihan Center on Pioneer.
The ‘Verse will
be attending, and, given the marked absence of a Summer Komikon this year, we
sure hope to see all you mighty fine folk there…
Debuting at this
year’s Indieket:
DAKILA: Lumilim
Issue 1 (of 3)
By David
Hontiveros and Elmer Cantada
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 almost
3 months since 18-year old Brandon Ramirez first became Dakila.
And right now,
he just wants to cosplay.
But a day at
ManilaCon with his barkada turns
super weird (and super dangerous!) when creepy urban legend Mr. Alikabok--actually
one of Mangilala’s many guises (dude’s a cosplayer too! Who knew?)--shows up
with some, err… “friends,” to spoil everybody’s geekery.
Boo! Hiss!
Dakila. 18 years old. Cosmic champion.
All of a sudden, acne and getting a
driver’s license are so not a big deal anymore.
URIEL: Hekhalot
Issue 3A (of 4)
By David
Hontiveros and Michael Urbano
Uriel is a mighty arel,
held in reverence and awe by his fellow arelim, feared and despised by the shedim hordes.
And right now, his fate and existence lie
in the hands of his seven-year-old mortal charge, Maleck de los Santos.
Uriel believes
the only way he can vacate Maleck’s body without hurting the boy is by facing
Malael head on…
But first, he
needs to say “Goodbye” to Maleck, in case his plan doesn’t work out.
Meanwhile, Caim
pulls the good Doctor further down into the rabbit hole…
TATSULOK: A Vision of Dust Compilation
By David
Hontiveros and Xerx Javier
In the many rooms of the House that is
the World, there are arelim and shedim. Most men know them as angels and demons.
Three individuals, each related to one
race or the other, converge on the stage of Holy Week, 2009, for their own
collective Passion Play of transformation and acceptance.
Collecting
issues 1 to 4, self-published by Xerx himself, this is essentially a remastered TATSULOK: AVoD.
The page size is
bigger than the previously released singles, which means, more art, because:
A) You’ll get to see the art at a larger
size; and
B) With the captions and word balloons
staying the same size, less of the
art is now covered by those pesky, pesky words…
So, yeah!
Remastered!
And there you
go.
Hopefully,
another title may get a new issue in in time for Indieket, in which case, there’ll
be another update here soon. (Send some good karma our way to help with that!)
Hope to see all you
mighty fine folk at the Indieket!
you can’t drink
just six,
Dave
