ADDENDUM (2)
“SO THERE'S SOMEONE HERE WHO'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS”
I am Grand Pontiff Elberith--or the Mighty, Great, and Terrible Duke Elberith, if you prefer--and I’ve been told that some of you mortals are asking about the reading order of the titular comics of that superheroic hooligan who disrupted the Tiangge festivities.
And these are the DAKILA issues currently available to order online here, at the Indie Komiks Market section of mervstore.com.

Though I daresay I don’t quite see the appeal of reading
illustrated stories of that impudent ruffian, this is a paying gig for me, so…
And these are the DAKILA issues currently available to order online here, at the Indie Komiks Market section of mervstore.com.
You’ll note that the Kapalaran story arc--which is the most ideal jumping on point for new readers--is not currently available on mervstore.com though.
Regardless, any of the other choices are as good as the
other, and they’re all complete stories, whether one-and-dones, or two-parters,
or entire story arcs.
So feel free to order any (or all) of them, in whichever
order you choose.
You humans are all about Free Will, after all…
And if you must know something about the issues, then I hope you survive this pre-written promotional drivel prepared by some random, underpaid Word Monkey, I suspect...
The 12 'Verse issues currently available through mervstore are (in alphabetical order):
DAKILA: Lumilim
Issues 1 & 2
David
Hontiveros / Elmer Cantada
Your name is Brandon Ramirez and you’ve been a geek your whole life: comics, movies, RPGs, cosplay.
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.
Boooo! Hissssss!
Dakila. 18 years old. Cosmic champion.
All of a sudden, acne and getting a
driver’s license are so not a big deal anymore.
DAKILA: Makadaot
Issue 2
David Hontiveros / Carl Corilla
Dakila has to face rains that are gradually sapping his strength to find a missing child.
AND
his kitten!
But a bunch of saitans are about to make things a LOT more complicated...
DAKILA: Makadaot
Issue 3
David Hontiveros / Carl Corilla
DAKILA: Metronom
Issues 2 & 3
David Hontiveros / Romnick Magbanua
There’s been an angel murder, and an attempted angel murder.
Who’s
on the case?
Gil
Grissom? Mac Taylor? Or (Heaven help us!) Horatio Caine?
Nuh-uh!
Dakila’s on the case!
Issues 1 to 4
David Hontiveros / Romnick Magbanua
While just trying to do the right thing, Dakila runs afoul of the Yokusuru crime family, the same bunch of drilo Kadasig also happens to be looking into.
High flying, fist to jaw, tsinelas to face action follows!

DAKILA / MASKARADO: Silver Like Dust
David Hontiveros / Reno Maniquis
Two
kick-ass heroes.
One
awesome team-up.
Dakila
finds himself in another dimension, in another Philippines, where he meets “Manila’s
Masked Marvel,” Maskarado.
Together,
the heroes face an enemy driven by madness and greed.
An
enemy who hungers for all the power in the world.
Including theirs.
KADASIG Volume One: "The Skeleton at the Feast"
Issue 2
David Hontiveros / Rafael Gumboc
Kadasig has served the Lady Ibu for centuries.
Kadasig has served the Lady Ibu for centuries.
He was human, once. But today, he is a
living, breathing kutummu, his skin now merely the scabbard for the
seemingly infinite array of weapons he draws from inside himself, weapons he
shapes from his own flesh and bone, to best serve the Lady in the only way he
truly knows how.
He is the Lady’s kallaapu; her knight, her enforcer.
He is her beet tilli; her arsenal.
He is her kak daami; her bloodstained weapon.
And she is about to use him to finally
lay her enemies low…
Kadasig's memories of his violent past are disturbed in the wake of an aswang attack on the heir to the enkanto throne...

So there you are.
You even got an extra KADASIG issue description for your troubles...
Let's see...
Anything else?
Oh…
Though I do not appear in it (and the narrative is all the poorer for that tragic oversight), you
might be interested in the Dakila /
Kadasig: Balat 4-part crossover, which chronicles the event that I mention
in my Tiangge spiel, involving poor Gaap… (who, as it turns out, owes so many demons so much money… such a sad
state of affairs!)
There are also more legions of infernal spirits here, as
well as Dakila’s first brush with the “powering up via possession” phenomenon…
Now, whilst you go about your day, perhaps by reading more of Dakila’s adventures, please keep me in mind for any of your hosting or notary public needs.

Don’t forget… Grand Pontiff Elberith, at your service… for a
price…
Enjoy…
