Kloud Komix: Volume 1

Been a long time since I last posted something here... Anyway, you can now hold Kloud Komix (my webcomic strip about cloud formations over Manila) in your hands! 26 pages of cloudiness.  You can give it to kids as a coloring book. It will be available for download somewhere soon or you could always check out the site, I update it with new stuff as often as I can - http://kloud-komix.tumblr.com/...

The cover!

Here is a poster I did for BLTX, last weekend...

I you want to buy a copy, please email me at maasimto@yahoo.com or leave a comment here.

Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year, everybody!

KOMIX!

Better Living Through Xeroxography is tomorrow! None of the stuff that I planned to release this year got done... No Baro Investigations. No ???#3. No story for QBCCC#3. No Dinoborg. I was only able to finish 10 pages of Attack Bear#1 (see poster thing above). Even the initial plan for the screen printed zine got changed, so I'm shelving the Sting/Johnny Cash song cover comic for the meantime.

Anyway, I'll still be at BLTX tomorrow... Selling reprints of ???#1 (with new-ish contents) & #2.

???#1 & ???#2

Here are some previous of stuff to come next year...

• Cataplexy for QBCCC#4 with Jim Faustino

• A Dinoborg Prelude with Josel Nicolas

• Some pages for ???#3

• Some pages from Attack Bear#1

See you tomorrow!

BLTX-Mas!

A panel from strip in ???#3, which will hopefully come out at BLTX this December 7. Still have a lot of pages to pencil...

Validation

 BLTX2 was a huge success! Only stayed for about 3 hours so I wasn't able to go around much & check out stuff. But from what I've been hearing there were tons of great books, zines & comics that came out. Had fun hanging out & talking to some komiks peeps, too. 

Thanks to everyone who bought ??? #2! Seeing peoples reactions when they crack open a copy was priceless & I am extremely flattered by all the nice things people said & are saying about the comic...

"...??? #2 was one of the better reads from this summer's BETTER LIVING THROUGH XEROXOGRAPHY. It felt like listening to a girl you've been crazy about for months finally talk to you about her favourite movie." - Adam David (El Bimbo Variations)

"‎???#2 is the !!!" - Dark Chapel (Silent Sanctum Manga!)

I'm not sure if the last one was a compliment though, but I ♥ U Chaps! More "Josel & Chappy Show"! I feel validated as a komik-book-making-person. Yey! Props to Josel for cleaning up my sloppy lettering & getting the book printed. Also for being the biggest supporter of my stuff. You da man, BROOO!

Here's the original cover, where my one-armed Deathlok action figure makes an appearance...

If you have anything to say about ???#2 (good, bad, whatever), please leave a comment. Would very much like to know what you thought of the komik. Again, thank you komiks-buying-person! See you next issue (which will be out hopefully by December 2012). Oh yeah! Baro Investigations this (fingers crossed) November 2012! 

P.S. - Check out Rob Cham's The Amazing Topless Head. Rob (who along with his girlfriend Pat are very nice peeps) released a printed version of the komik at BLTX. Reminded me a lot of Invader Zim. Also, buy a copy of SSM Jet at the next 'Kon or at them comic shops (Comic Odyssey / Sputnik)! Fun kid friendly komik done the SSM! way.

???#2 & Mind Control

Coming out later (March 2, 2012 - 8PM) at BLTX2! Cover above... 34 pages of comicbookness! Be amazed at my sloppy lettering & migraine-inducing typos!

A special thingy (by Josel Nicolas of Windmills fame) for my thingy! Yeti Crab!

Also, the first full-length comic to be published under the QBCCC imprint! Mind Control by Powil Guzmanos! A 50-page one-shot!

Adam David's foreword for the comic...

Thanks for printing the books Josel!

See you all later! 

BLTX 2!

Poster #2 / page preview of ??? #2.

Fun Fact: My first self-published comic, ??? #1. Came out in the 1st BLTX, 2 years ago... :)
