Komikon Experience at 2011

Yeah!

Komikon 2011 at Bayanihan Center, Unilab, Pasay, Manila, Philippines!

That's where I went last November 19, 2011.

I was actually expecting to see my favorite Filipino comic artists there. I already inquired beforehand if my favorite artists will be there and I received affirmation of that. That is why I, equipped with my precious copies of Trese and Kikomachine, waited in line to enter the packed place where comics geeks and nerds like me gather.

My Trese shirt.

Amazing~

Awesome~

LOL

Cool!

Budjette Tan, author of Trese.

Kajo Baldissimo, illustrator of Trese.

Manix Abrera, author and illustrator of Kikomachine.

Aside from the authors and illustrators of famous comics, there are also those who are independently publishing their works. They are the ones who participated in the Indieket, the market for independently published comics.

There are also cosplayers present during the event. Some just want to cosplay while there are those who dressed up to promote their comics.

An angel (?) cosplayer.

There are lots of author authors there. I got to see the author of Pugad Baboy, the controversial comic artist Apolinario 'Pol' Medina, Jr. Also, Tony deZuniga was there!

My most precious loot from this event?

My autographed comic books of Trese and Kikomachine!
