Sunday Runaround – Scream For Geoff Johns And Robert Kirkman
FilipinoWatch: Their artists draw many of our most successful comic books. But is the comics industry of the Philippines in trouble? The AFP thinks so;
Comic books that dominated the Philippine publishing industry just a couple of decades ago are now largely relegated to photocopied titles sold in a few specialty stores and at conventions, lamented veteran artist Rico Rival.

'RED' Proves Action-Comedies Needn't be Dumb to be Fun

Still, leaving audiences wanting more isn't necessarily a bad thing.
