Life-Sized Stormtrooper Cake
Jan 17Yes, you read the title right. That, my friend, is not a Stormtrooper cosplayer but a CAKE! The amazing team of OakleafCakes.com came up with this fantastic life-sized Stormtrooper pastry that stands 6 feet 4 inches.

Sanduguan #10 Comics Review
Jan 10
It’s been a while since I last read Sanduguan comics and its always a pleasure to hop back. Recently, Kalayaan creator Gio Paredes said that author and illustrator Gener Pedriña is “really pouring it on” with Sanduguan #10. I couldn’t help but agree. If you are someone who loves slam-bang action, you’ll find it in this title. You’ll literally see several pages...
How to Make a Captain America Costume
Dec 27
I noticed the month (and the year) is almost done and I haven’t posted a single entry yet so I decided to rush this one. As my Facebook friends know by now, me and my wife recently attended a costume party and we both won 2nd place in the male and female category. My wife was a pretty Witch that night while I, being the comic geek, was Captain America. I’ve been asked more than a few times...
Panels and Pages #10 - Gio Paredes Interview
Nov 29
This is long overdue. I’ve always wanted to feature Gio Paredes on my interviews ever since I’ve started Panels and Pages here on my blog. As some of you may already know, I’m a big fan of this guy and I’ve reviewed his work several times in the past. Not only do I consider him as one of the most diligent creators in the country but Gio is also an all around nice guy who...

Amazing Spider-Man #673 Comics Review
Nov 10
Spider Island is officially over and I only have one thing to say about it: IT’S BEEN MASSIVE! IT’S BEEN A WILD RIDE! Yeps, a lot of exciting things have happened and the whole Spider-verse has been seriously rocked. Jonah became the Spider Mayor, Kaine got to wear the Spidey stealth suit and much, much more. Fans of Peter-MJ tandem will also be pleased to know that Peter and Carlie finally...
High Society by Paolo Chikiamco and Hannah Buena
Nov 09
Released on Amazon as a Kindle comic book, High Society is a story that brilliantly merges elements of history, mystery, technology, and Pinoy mythology. Lawyer-turned-writer Paolo Chikiamco does a fine job delivering an interesting tale told in a steampunk setting while Hannah Buena’s sketchy and Manga-ish illustrations are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I’ve been told High Society is just...
