Summer Komikon 2017

I check in to these things every now and then to get a temperature reading, see where things are. I remember the days when we would hold these things in parking lots, and the tables would be filled with the same rough, black-and-white treatments: Please please check out my Muscle-Bound Filipino Super Hero. He is just like Muscle Bound American Super Hero except he was bitten by a radioactive kapre or something so that makes him unique and local.

But really, I think its getting better though. There is diversity on both sides of the table (more girls, so things become more sensible). But I'm still looking for good, write-led materials. Heck, I'd settle for a good writer-artist team. The lineup is still heavy with graphic artists who think that they're geniuses who can handle both the art and the narrative.

See you again in a couple of years, maybe.
