Kalayaan #1-4 Comics Review
Oct 23Having come across two positive reviews online (by Robin and Jaybhoi), I really had high expectations for Kalayaan comics. To be honest, however, reading all 4 issues didn’t actually meet those expectations – it exceeded it! Gio Paredes‘ Kalayaan comics was really quite an experience for me. Well, of course, I wasn’t totally blown away by Kalayaan #1. That one was a quick...
Tropa #2 Review
Sep 10As awesome as the first issue was, Tropa komiks #2 is definitely something that gives you much, much more. In Tropa #1, we got to know the main characters first – in issue #2, that is where we got to know more about their motives and that is where the action actually takes place. We really get more glimpses about each character’s past in here and we also get to meet some new, mysterious...
Tropa #1 Review
Aug 08Tropa komiks #1, as it turns out, is Sacred Mountain Publication‘s first release – or as Gilbert Monsanto referred to it once, their “first baby”.

Rambol #2 Review
Jun 30Gilbert Monsanto’s covers doesn’t just grab your attention – it holds your attention. In fact, it blows you away! Rambol # 2 really did that for me. Besides, what kind of Pinoy komiks fan could resist a cover with Biotrog going head-to-head against X-Trooper anyway? We didn’t get any Infinity-Sonic, hero-versus-hero crossovers even during Pinoy komiks heyday, did we? Biotrog against...
Popsicle
Jun 28These are the days when I am just so thankful that we still have a cassette player at home. Several days ago, an office buddy lent me a tape of this self-titled album from a Swedish band called Popsicle. Now, I don’t know if anybody out there still remembers this album (released way back 1996), let alone the band, but I truly enjoyed listening to this one again. I’m just not sure if this is a...
Next Time, Baby
Jun 11
Thankfully, I did get the chance to watch Iron Man. The recent typhoon which hit us, my work shortly thereafter, and my many other activities just delayed this entry. Anyway, here goes: First, it might be too early to say this but I think Iron Man will be the best movie of 2008 – at least for me, that is. Iron Man is really an awesome film. I got to read a handful of positive reviews about...
