My review of Francisco Coching's El Indio is finally out and complete in three parts - here, here, and here - and is the first of what will be a regular series of komix reviews from yours truly. The next review will be a revisit of Gerry Alanguilan's Elmer, now collected, and with a blurb from yours truly along the top of the front cover. What I feel about this book is no real secret for a lot of this blog's more faithful readers, but I felt that it was worth a critical revisit in context to it being a whole book, now, and the Ampatuan Massacre, and the limits/capacity of art to confront such things. I'll also talk about Alanguilan's other Komikon 2k9 book, drawn by Arlan Esmeña, Where Bold Stars Go To Die, locating its proper place in the Komikero's komixography (I might talk about Feminism, too).





Friend and BitTorrent freak Francis Q fans the flames of the carbon briquettes of my heart with this post, which made me go gago again on the Greek Ms Grey so here are some relevant links on the girl - a Playboy spread with Richard Ken (wow) - a Penthouse spread with Terry Richardson (fucking wow) - the Playboy interview with the Kern spread (wow again) - and a super superb review of Sasha Grey's Anatomy, a movie I'm presently downloading (it's super) - Sasha Grey fans the flames of the caving-in lava dome of my heart.
