Happy Free Comic Book Day 2019!

It's that time of the year again where you celebrate one of the most impactful and influential industries in Popular Culture, and I had the privilege of doing it again at Fully Booked and Comic Odyssey in the Philippines! It's also May The Fourth and Avengers: Endgame season, so it is double the fun and I had a great time promoting my love for comic books!


Check out my adventure from my Facebook Live video from the day itself - where I suited up as Captain America ala Endgame.


Happy Free Comic Book Day 2019! What did you do to celebrate the occasion? :)

Free Comic Book Day 2014!

It's that time of the year again... And all comic book readers new and old should visit their nearest comic book store or retailer to participate in the day where you can get comics absolutely FREE, and that's FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

As always, expect to see fun, excitement, comic book enthusiasts, and even cosplayers on your local scene! In my case and as in previous years, if you happen to be in Bonifacio Global City in the RP, visit Fully Booked and Comic Odyssey and catch Justice PH there too!

Have a wonderful FCBD 2014!!!

Fully Booked: David Finch will be in Manila this March 17 and 18!

Announced by Comic Odyssey earlier in the day, Fully Booked has officially announced via their Tumblr page that DC Comics artist David Finch will be coming to Manila, Philippines on March 17 and 18 to meet and greet fans at the bookstore's branch at Bonifacio High Street. This comes after last week's unfortunate news, where unforeseen circumstances had to force Mr. Finch to miss his scheduled tour for March 11, 12, and 13. Now the man behind Batman: The Dark Knight  is really coming this time, and anyone living in Manila who's a fan of his works and comics will surely want to plan their weekends for this!

Here's the official announcement from Fully Booked themselves via Tumblr!

"David Finch in Manila has been rescheduled to THIS WEEKEND! :-) We are very happy to announce this and will be releasing the details as soon as we can. Kindly stay tuned and help spread the word to the rest of his fans! :-)"


Be sure to catch David Finch at Fully Booked at BHS this Saturday and Sunday! Also, resident DC Comics cosplayers Justice PH/ Gotham PH and Gotham Madness will be there to support the artist and bookstore, wearing the cape, cowl, and uniforms of the characters from the Batman universe! See you all there!

Fully Booked: Important Update on David Finch in Manila

I'd thought I'd share this bit of breaking news to everyone who was looking forward to seeing DC Comics artist and writer David Finch in Manila from March 11, 12, and 13. Via Fully Booked's official website, here's the announcement:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 


David Finch in Manila Dear Customers and David Finch Fans, 


Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support for David Finch's visit! We regret to inform you that his visit to Manila this March 11-13 will no longer push through. David was already at the airport, checked-in, and ready to board the plane, when it was discovered that his passport expires in June of this year. Since a passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months to travel, David was not allowed to board the plane. 


We share your disappointment at this turn of events. Likewise, David is also regretful as he is very much excited to meet his fans here. 


David Finch will definitely still come to Manila, but at a later date. Please stay tuned for details.


UPDATE 2 From Timzster and Justice PH: (Sat 12:50pm)



To those who read Fully Booked's announcement on David Finch,


I'm sure you've read the update by now, and it's unfortunate news indeed that the DC Comics artist won't be able to attend his scheduled tour. However, I and the rest of Gotham PH (Justice Ph) and Gotham Madness will still be in Bonifacio High Street tomorrow to make the most of things and do what we do best - suit up and entertain as the heroes we've come to admire and love reading in comics. We'll be there in full force as the Batman family and his accompanying Rogues Gallery, so expect to see the likes of The Dark Knight, Nightwing, Red Robin, Robin, Batgirl, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and more.


I have been informed by Fully Booked themselves that we'll be giving some Batman stuff to those still going tomorrow. Mr. Finch may not be around, but treat it as a gathering of the local Batman cosplay community if you will, and feel free to take pictures with us if you're in the area! If any of you still want to pass by and have some fun with the family, here's a good reason to take them to Bonifacio Global City and Fully Booked tomorrow.:)

UPDATE 3: (Sat 1:55pm)


Just got final word from Fully Booked on the cosplay appearance of Gotham PH (Justice Ph) and Gotham Madness. Sorry fellas, that's been postponed until the time David Finch actually visits.:(

Any developments or updates arrive, I'll post it here, and check on the official Fully Booked site for details.

Batman Trivia Quiz and David Finch!

Batman fans out there will get a kick out of this!

Coming across a simple and awesome hobby site called Dad's Big Plan, I have stumbled upon what is possibly one of the most challenging Batman quizzes I have ever laid eyes upon! Those dedicated to the mythos and the comics will probably have no trouble breezing through this test... But how much DO you know about The Caped Crusader and his world? Trust me, this test wasn't easy, and I follow The Dark Knight and his legend with a passion. Take note, you only have 15 minutes to finish the quiz. Don't take too long to think or search for an answer... Or time will run out faster than you think!

Thing you're a detective and a big Batman fan? Click the symbol or here to TAKE THE QUIZ!

Truly, this is a quiz only the GODDAMN BATMAN would love! Thanks goes to Dad's Big Plan for the feature, and Sporcle.com for hosting this tough Batquiz!

On related news, people in The Philippines are in for a treat, as Batman: the Dark Knight writer/ artist and comic book talent David Finch is coming to Manila! Fans living or visiting the RP shouldn't miss this one, and I will be there (Timzster) along with my compatriots from Gotham PH and Gotham Madness, cosplaying as characters from the Batman universe! Promotions start on the afternoon of March 3rd (today) at Fully Booked's branch at Bonifacio High Street. Mr. Finch himself will be present to meet, greet, and sign for fans on March 11, 12, and 13! For more details, visit the David Finch microsite over at Fully Booked.com!
