Yes, you read the title right. That, my friend, is not a Stormtrooper cosplayer but a CAKE! The amazing team of OakleafCakes.com came up with this fantastic life-sized Stormtrooper pastry that stands 6 feet 4 inches. Their blog tells us this was made for the Arisia Sci-Fi Conventio in Boston, MA. Go to their link to see more images to get an idea how they managed to pull this off! http://blog.oakleafcakes.com/stormtrooper-cake/ Related posts: Real-Life Optimus Prime In Taiwan Real...

It’s been a while since I last read Sanduguan comics and its always a pleasure to hop back. Recently, Kalayaan creator Gio Paredes said that author and illustrator Gener Pedriña is “really pouring it on” with Sanduguan #10 . I couldn’t help but agree. If you are someone who loves slam-bang action, you’ll find it in this title. You’ll literally see several pages of fight scenes here as the team battles it out with the Guardians of Mount Arayat and the All-Father of the Capampangans . For... Read Full Story

I noticed the month (and the year) is almost done and I haven’t posted a single entry yet so I decided to rush this one. As my Facebook friends know by now, me and my wife recently attended a costume party and we both won 2nd place in the male and female category.  My wife was a pretty Witch that night while I, being the comic geek, was Captain America. I’ve been asked more than a few times about how I did the shield and my reply has always been the same “My wife did it, not me” to the... Read Full Story

This is long overdue. I’ve always wanted to feature Gio Paredes on my interviews ever since I’ve started Panels and Pages here on my blog. As some of you may already know, I’m a big fan of this guy and I’ve reviewed his work several times in the past. Not only do I consider him as one of the most diligent creators in the country but Gio is also an all around nice guy who knows how to deal with his fans. Go read the interview and get the details about what’s in store for Kalayaan fans within... Read Full Story

Spider Island is officially over and I only have one thing to say about it: IT’S BEEN MASSIVE! IT’S BEEN A WILD RIDE! Yeps, a lot of exciting things have happened and the whole Spider-verse has been seriously rocked. Jonah became the Spider Mayor, Kaine got to wear the Spidey stealth suit and much, much more. Fans of Peter-MJ tandem will also be pleased to know that Peter and Carlie finally called it quits – and that, for two consecutive issues already, we see Peter and MJ hanging out... Read Full Story

Released on Amazon as a Kindle comic book, High Society is a story that brilliantly merges elements of history, mystery, technology, and Pinoy mythology. Lawyer-turned-writer Paolo Chikiamco does a fine job delivering an interesting tale told in a steampunk setting while Hannah Buena ’s sketchy and Manga-ish illustrations are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I’ve been told High Society is just a stand-alone comic book and I feel bad about that. I want to read more about this story – especially... Read Full Story

It wasn’t too long yet when I first posted a Flash #1 comics review and here I am now – reviewing the same book with the exact same issue number. Thanks to DC’s New 52, we’re getting another start for everyone’s favorite Scarlet Speedster. And boy! I’m happy to report that I can’t be more than pleased. First off, I had high expectations for this book since I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul ‘s run back then. This time, Johns steps back and lets Manapul and colorist...
