I attended the 2011 Metro Comic Convention last weekend in Ortigas. It was my first time to go to such an event, and I'm really happy I did. Obviously, there were lots of comics, but there were also several collectibles and of course cosplayers.
I'm amazed that there are now many local comic books. I interviewed Heubert Michael, one of the organizers. He says, they are hoping for the revival of Pinoy comics, similar to what happened decades ago. He says, with the growing number of comics-turned movies and even fantaserye, they hope Filipinos will once again read and hold comic books.
One thing that interests me is the "Zombies in Manila". It's a 6-part series and 4 comic books are currently available. I'm a fan of zombie movies, so this is something I am geeky about. It was also my first time to see dozens of cosplayers all in one place! No need to describe them, just check the photos. There are so much more but I didn't get to take a photo of them.
