Renowned Ghost Rider and MoonKnight Artist Makes First Appearance!

Phoenix–Phoenix is Hot, sure… but it just got even hotter! It’s just been announced that fan fave Ghost Rider and MoonKnight artist Mark Texeira will be making his first appearance in the area at the Phoenix Comic Con!

Born and bred in New York City, amongst the concrete jungle and the confines of steel, Mark Texeira was always an artist that found himself indoors more often than not, as a child, escaping via his imagination and drawing pictures as entertainment, taking him to locals far beyond the skyscrapers around him.

4 pages of Timawa this Feb 2008 issue

Good news! We were informed via Gerry Alanguilan’s blog that the Timawa comic series in Buzz Magazine will be in 4 pages starting on February 2008 issue and I think the magazine might be available this coming weeks. I’m so excited to read more of Timawa. Also Gerry noted that he don’t plan to compile it and republish the whole Timawa series, so we should accept it and don’t expect much for a graphic novel compilation. So sad to hear that, but its okay, we can still compile the whole series by collecting all issue of Buzz Magazine. Also on his blog you can check out a one page preview art of the next issue. you can preview the page and also the source of the news here.

and if you read it all you can get a news about the El Nido comics and Humanis Rex compilation.

thanks Direk Gerry for the great news! hahaahahah (kidding)
