Kalayaan Ships to Cavite City

This is a free sketch for Dexter Buena. My way of saying thank you for purchasing the first four issues of Kalayaan comics.


All four issues are signed as requested by the customer.



I just mailed this comics this afternoon at the post office. Thank you very much Dexter T. Buena for supporting an independent comics creator like me.

If any of you also want to get a copy of my comics and do not want the hassle of going to a store. You can just email me a message and I will be very much happy to mail it to you directly. Thanks

The Superman Movie that did not make it.

Goku vs. Superman

Donkey

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Stealth Mode

Something that I/we have been working on. Kalayaan in stealth mode suit. I apologize if I cannot tell you more about this since it is still on the processing stage. Perhaps this coming months to come.

Philippines, Rise! We Are Not Alone

Pinoy Abroad

Nakakatuwa isipin na ang mga Pinoy na matagal nang nakatira sa ibang bansa ay hindi nakakalimutan ang kanilang pagiging Pilipino. Bagkus ay tumutulong pa ang mga ito sa pag po-protekta sa teritoryo ng ating bansa. Kaya kung Pilipino ka at mahal mo ang Pilipinas, dapat lamang na i-share at ipakita ang video na ito sa BUONG mundo. Ito ay obligasyon natin bilang isang mabuting mamamayan ng ating bansa.

New Cyberforce

I just got Cyberforce #2 today from Comic Odyssey in Robinsons Galleria. I got it for about only P30. It is actually FREE within the U.S. ,but obviously because of the shipping fee, it cannot be totally free here in the Philippines. But still, P30 is so very cheap (basically a steal) for this high quality comics. 

Baguio Komik Kon

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I could go to this event.

Pirated BUKO

This is Bembol Buko. One of the character that Bien del Rosario created for this Adoboverse. As I have posted before I will be working with him on the next issue of Kalayaan (Issue #14 where Kalayaan goes to Adoboverse). Bembol Buko is actually not included on the script that I created of Kalayaan #14. But I was very surprised a few days ago....

One afternoon, when I was going to fetch my youngest daughter from her school in North Fairview. I saw this Buko stand with his character on his front tarp. I immediately recognized Bembol Buko and text Bien about it. He was pretty upset but I guess he is just too nice that he just let it go. He just simply said that the one who created that tarp probably just googled the image. I guess they are just too lazy to create their own original character and just steal someone else. Na Sotto ang charcter ni Bien. :-(

I thought that this kind of thing only happens to a Big company like Marvel and DC. Pati pala ang mga Indie na tulad namin ay na Pi-Pirata na rin ang mga characters. This is just very sad, there is no telling that others are still out there. It was purely chance that I saw this. What if there is another naughty  guy outher somewhere in... let's say in Mindanao or Visayas area that decided to do this same kind of thing. We could never know. :-(

You can find all of the original character of Bien here -> http://agimax.deviantart.com/art/Bembol-Buko-96661190?q=gallery%3Aagimax%2F8449992&qo=18

Kalayaan #14

Kalayaan #14 - In this issue, as the cover says. Kalayaan will go to Adoboverse. For those who have already bought the previous issue, this answers the question of the last page.

Sa maniwala po kayo o sa hindi. Marunong din po ako ng Catoony na style ng pag-du-drawing. Mapalad po akong pinagkatiwalaan ni Bien del Rosario (creator of Adoboverse) na iguhit ang kanyang mga characters. Kaya sana po ay pagkatiwalaan nyo rin po ako. Maraming salamat.

My Hero TV Interview

Thank you very much to the cast and crew of Hero TV. Please do watch their shows at Channel 44 on SkyCable.


They also given me lots of freebies. And this T-Shirt is one of them. Maraming salamat talaga sa inyo. :-)

Lucky 13

Kalayaan #13 is now ready for Komikon 2012.

Center Pin Up Poster of Kalayaan #13 by : Kirk Lacson.

Front cover of Kalayaan #13 by your truly (Gio Paredes).

And the back cover by Ed Tadeo.

The Inside front cover. I intentionally put a space on the right side people that wants me to sign their copy and perhaps a small sketch if they ask me to.

In page 2, Captain Guerrero (of TRESE) made an appearance. Thank you very much to Budjette Tan for allowing me to use this character.

Page 3 show Kalayaan (a little bit) new costume. With a gap on his neck line to make it easier to move around. I got that idea when I saw a Kalayaan on real life via cosplayer. It seams to me that it is a little bit awkward turtle neck costume on a hot Philippine island. And the gap will just make the suit more comfortable to wear. 

Page 10 show that Kalayaan is much faster than Nelong Nuclear. 

Page 13 to 15 is done by Edgar Tadeo. He is currently the artist of BionicMan comics under Dynamite Entertainment. Please do check it out.

Page 16 - Kalayaan is already bloody with all the beating that Nelo gave him. This is some of the scene that I really love to see in colors.

The official poster of Komikon 2012. 

This is the official floor plan of Komikon 2012. I will not be joining the indie Tiange this time around, bur instead I will with Gilbert Monsanto and with the other Bayan Knights. Our table is tabled as Bayan Komiks. The one with an X. Just click the image to enlarge it. See you all there this coming Saturday (Oct.27) at Bayanihan center.
