Fraction must have been here once and saw Hare Krishna members all over the place.

As for existing local comic-book characters, maybe Mondo Marvel fears litigation (hehehe).

@jenny_art
Why?

Thanks.

Fraction knew what he was doing.

I was a member of Sukol.

I like Cornflakes.

P.S. I don't read iron man... naa lang gi post sa yahoogroups nga naay pinoy team sa marvel. pero okay ra gihapon kay patay man dayon after a few pages or was it for mere panels lang ang pinoys.

Matt Fraction posted a lengthy reply to readers' reaction with regard to the Filipino references in Iron Man. He made a point. I still love him.

I love Ed Brubaker too. Read Criminal.

(I'm off to read Walking Dead, better late than never)

[john__amor]

Walking Dead is an awesome series. You should be slightly ashamed it's taken you this long to start reading it. RARRR!!!

Although I'm still a bit behind on my Captain America and Iron Fist. Neeheehee...

[zerk]

It's not a big deal.. remember the ninja nazis sa highroads ??


murag weird lang, kay taga pinas man gud ta.

[john__amor]

So true. It's not a big deal, as long as its primary purpose is to serve a good solid story.

And speaking of non-big deals...

My work journal, Border Break has been updated.
Just in case anybody wants to know what's been keeping me busy. In particular, FREELANCE PROJECTS THAT SUCK!

And OT: In honor of EastWest's passing, Vemp, myself, and a few of our friends have created East West Exiles. It's not really about EastWest, but it will be where most of our dickery will happen from now on. You peeps might wanna check it out.

Laytah!

[cmontoya]

@ja: Are you doing ala-Nicolas Cage here? You must be an angel and don't even know it.



As for the Marvel Adventures, you're going to draw one? Sugoi!!!

[john__amor]

That's not me in that pic oy. But I took the shot.

Anyway, nah... still just trying out for Marvel Adventures. Cross fingers. Cross toes. Cross all things crossable.

Here's Gerry Alanguilan's response to Matt Fraction's excuse for Iron man's pinoy team.

Quote: This is the quote that made me really want to react: " but it was written for a predominantly > American comics audience, which resulted in me making > some choices for ease-of-reading rather than absolute > cultural accuracy. I made that call because I felt if > I had to explain and contextualize things for every > reader, it would've slowed the story to a halt." I really hate it when people make absolute statements like "cultural accuracy". It's the same kind of statements like "I'm not perfect!", when people are put to the task for their mistakes. Accuracy is NOT what we're looking for. Perfection is not what we're looking for. More specifically, I'm not looking for 100% cultural accuracy when a non-Filipino writes something about the Philippines, however marginal it may be. All I'm looking for is for me, as a Filipino, to look at it and feel that it's familiar. That it's something I can look at and say, "yeah, that's how it is." I don't feel that at all. I'm looking at it, reading it, and I don't feel it's happening in my backyard. It feels like it's happening in a different country. It doesn't FEEL Filipino. The "written for a predominantly American comics audience" annoys me more than anything else, because a genuine look at an exotic non-American culture is sacrificed for what the writer believes to be the intellectual convenience of the reader. The writer basically robs the reader of a chance to be educated, and be given a look at a culture that they probably wouldn't know much about. So to not alienate readers, they are given a picture of us that doesn't really look like us. Americans are insular enough as it is. I think it would do them a world of good to open themselves to things outside America more and not just look inside. I think they will become much better people for it. A letter writer to the Swamp Thing back in the 80's asked writer Alan Moore when he had visited Louisiana in the US, because he had captured the locale in his writing so well. The fact was, Alan Moore had never visited Louisiana. All he did was research. If Matt had indeed to his research to write about Filipinos, then I can conclude that Alan Moore is a much better researcher than he is.

wala lang...
