Finally got my copy of OCHLORAT which was illustrated by Gerry. Comic Quest supposedly only got six copies. So, since I got one copy and another copy is reserved for Gerry, that leave four copies for you guys to fight over.

OCHLOCRAT was a fun read. The lead character, the Ochlocrat, reminded me of Spider Jerusalem, but this time he’s armed with hovering cameras and puts criminals on trials on TV and the internet. He presents the evidence to everyone watching and people vote online on what the verdict should be. In between all of that, he’s promotes certain products like life insurance and condoms.

The art by Gerry was great! Unfortunately, I think Gerry swore off from illustrating anything like this every again. Just take a look at all the detail in the background. Even the little hover-cams are super-detailed. So, Gerry what’s next?

Try and get the last four copies of OCHLOCRAT from Comic Quest, Megamall, it’s worth it.

I also got THE ULTIMATES. And that made me happy. Mark Millar continues to do great work in this playground called the Ultimate Marvel Universe. The first issue focuses on Captain America’s last mission during World War II. The first couple of pages reminded me of “Band of Brothers”. Wonderful, wide-screen action by Bryan Hitch. If you’re looking for something new to collect, then get THE ULTIMATES.

I flipped through the pages of DK2 #2 and decided to not buy it anymore after seeing the first page. I think Frank Miller has completely lost it. I don’t know what he’s trying to do. Talk about a project that just didn’t live up to it’s hype. Sorry Frank, maybe your JESUS project will be better.

Well, that’s what I got this week. What did you guys get?

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living
