PIMP MY STUFF
SUMMER KOMIKON 2013 TITLES
For all you
mighty fine folk who plan to be at the Bayanihan Center this Saturday, April
13, these are the new titles that are launching:
AGYU: Surfacing
Issue 1 (of 3)
By David
Hontiveros and Vinnie Pacleb
Elias Sandoval has always felt different.
Being half-enkanto will do that.
But not even the strange difficulties of
his childhood could have prepared him for what he is today: a decorated proeliator of good standing in the Royal Enkanto Guard; world-renowned mixed martial arts heavyweight champion; and
now, the buwaya’s chosen to bear the
mantle of the legendary hero, AGYU.
And that’s only the beginning…
Join Elias months
after the events chronicled in Kadasig:
The Skeleton at the Feast 1, as he dons the garb of Agyu for the first
time, and quickly starts to make some enemies…
Δ: A Vision of Dust
Issue 2 (of 4)
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.
On occasion, both these races have been
known to spill their seed onto humankind, producing hybrids forever caught
between species, having characteristics of both, but belonging to neither.
Miguel Samson is one such hybrid.
He is the second point of our triangle.
Miguel has
caught up with Lora… and Lucio, who just happened to be with Lora at the time.
But now that he has, what’s he going to do with them?
And what’s his
connection to Lucio?

I first explored this dystopic future world just over ten years
ago in the short story, “Kaming Mga Seroks,” which went on to be honored with a
Palanca Award.
Now, alongside artist Alan Navarra, I’ve returned to that world in
Seroks Iteration 1: Mirror Man, the first in a series of
short fiction collections set in a world where everything is a commodity, and
everything can be pirated, even people.
A world where the truth is ugly and a fake can be a hero.
The following comic
book titles will also be available at the Alamat table:
KADASIG
Volume 1: The Skeleton at the Feast
Issue 1 (of 5)
By David
Hontiveros and Ian Sta. Maria
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…
Picking up where
the Underpass story, “Katumbas” left
off, “A Life Less Ordinary” is the first of five chapters of The Skeleton at the Feast, chronicling
the further adventures of the tsinelas-wearing
badass, Kadasig.
This “second
printing” is for all those who didn’t get to grab a copy at last year’s October
Kon, and contains a number of Kadasig fan art pieces personally selected by Ian
to run in the comic’s pages.
And, the non-‘Verse
title:
BATHALA: Apokalypsis
Issues 1 to 5A/5B (of 7)
By David
Hontiveros and Ace Enriquez
What if there was only one superhuman in
the whole world?
What if the world was about to end as
predicted in the Book of Revelation?
What can one superman do to hold back the
hand of the Almighty?
Plus, if you’ve happened to have joined either of the two Seroks-related contests, you can also
submit your entries to me, at the Alamat table.
See all you
mighty fine people at the Kon!
you can’t drink
just six,
Dave
