Free TRESE cosplay poster

We will be giving away this limited-edition TRESE cosplay poster by Jay Tablante at the Metro Comic Con.

Here's how you can get this poster for free:


1
Come to the Metro Comic Con on May 7 and 8 dressed up as Trese or the Kambal or any of the characters from the comic book. (If you want to cosplay Capt. Guerrero or the Nuno or Maliksi the Tikbalang, that's also fine with us!)


2
Go to our booth and have your picture taken.


3
Get a free poster!

It's that easy!

We will only have 30 posters and it'll be given away on a "first come, first served" basis. (So, if 30 people come and cosplay Trese on the first day, then we won't have any posters to give away on the second day.)

See you at Metro Comic Con 2011!

The Kambal at Komikstrip

Seems like I missed all the fun that happened at this year's Komikstrip. For some strange reason, when the Kambal traveled all the way to UPLB, they got caught under the spell of some enkanto or salamankero and they were transformed into... girls!

Mignonne Yap as Happy Kambal and Erika Thea Hernandez Ajes as Gloomy Kambal

HaLe Starship Black with Erika

Mignonne, Gloomy Kambal unmasked

Simeon from EL FILIBUSTERISMO meet the Kambal?! Did he time travel?

Manix Abrera protects himself when the Kambal came along. Astig!

Gerry shows no fear when he gets surrounded by the Kambal

Happy Kambal with a very happy Manix

a very strange team-up

this is like Vertigo-Marvel-team-up

So, I wonder, were the girls inspired by this Kambal pin-up made by Ian Sta. Maria.
