Komiket, the Filipino komiks art market, continues its advocacy of promoting original Filipino komiks and art with Komiket All-Original, happening at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall 2 on March 28–29, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The event offers a weekend filled with proudly Filipino creativity, featuring talented creators, artists, designers, and makers.
After more than a decade of leading the local art market scene, Komiket has thrived alongside conventions that often favor foreign characters and stories. It has become a safe space for Filipino creatives to produce and showcase Filipino-themed work. This March, readers, art enthusiasts, and supporters of local talent are invited to celebrate and uplift the community at Komiket All-Original.
PROUDLY ALL-FILIPINO
Explore an exciting lineup of exhibitors, including crowd favorites such as Pol Medina Jr. (Pugad Baboy), AJ Bacar (SSKAIT), Shawn Yohan (Bunganga Memories), Toto Madayag (Libreng Komiks), and Drew Borja (Hunghang Flashbacks). Also featured are Komiket authors Stevie Barot (In the Jaws of St. Camillus), Sean Manoloto (Godhark), Gigi Chan (Somewhere In My Past), and the team behind Death Be Damned—Mike Alcazaren, Noel Pascual, and AJ Bernardo.
