Shortlisted Interview #16: Brian Valeza
Jun 14I wasn’t surprised anymore when I discovered fellow-Bayan Knights member Brian Valeza . We were happy but not surprised. Besides, the guy is a fantastic artist and most of us in the group have been big fans of his works before he even joined. While considering a cover artist for our Heart of the Black Matrix #1 project, me and writer Don Celadina decided to contact “Tots” because we thought his...

Shortlisted Interview #14: Kathryn Layno
Jun 01Although primarily a male-dominated industry, avid readers know that there are quite a number of fantastic female comic creators in the world today. On the top of my mind, I can mention Kelly Sue De Connick (current Captain Marvel writer) and Sara Picheli (artist of Ultimate Spider-Man). When C.B. Cebulski visited the country for a nationwide Marvel talent search, a girl caught his eyes (in an...

Now that the Avengers fever has subsided (or NOT! Who am I kidding?), I guess its finally time to continue with our artist features. This time, allow me to introduce you to a dude from Cebu who Cebulski found impressive enough. His name is Michael Punsalan and I’m sure you want to know more about him now. Let’s not keep this intro long then! Mark Rosario: Tell us something about...
Urban Animal #1 | Comics Review

Written and drawn by Cebu-based creator John Amor, Urban Animal #1 is an indie comic book (a 4-part story actually) about Joe – a naughty teenager who gets cursed and turns into a monster because of his, well, naughtiness. For a description, John describes the book as a mash-up between The Catcher In The Rye and The Incredible Hulk with a dash of Archie. Actually, John says this comic book is...
