Filipino Comics

Tue May 12, 2009, 6:12 AM

There have been a lot of Filipino comics coming out. There are also many such on the Interwebs at the moment. I admit that I am not as well versed in such as I would like to be, and I haven't had all the time I would like to research and delve into Filipino comics. But I must say, that what I really want to see is for Filipino comic artists to STOP trying to do a Filipinoized version of the Avengers or whatnot. We DO NOT NEED to see a Captain America for the Philippines. We DO NOT NEED to see the Filipino version of the X-Men. And the rant goes on and on.

What I desperately want to see is for some new talent, some absolute unknown, to burst onto the scene of Filipino comics with something other than a Filipino version of the superhero comic. I want to see something other than flexing thews and stylized babes. I want something that would truly be something of the Philippines, NOT the Filipino version of something else.

And thus ends my rant.

A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet.
Give me some time to blow the man down!
