I've already heard about CALLWORK from Markus months and KOMIKONs ago. It's a collection of comic strips by Hazel Manzano which are about the life of a Call Center Agent. So last Saturday, I finally gave in and bought myself a copy. I also got the second book entitled Proud Callboy. It’s hilarious. I coudn’t put it down. I can’t believe I finished reading both books in one seating. It’s that good.
 Everyone’s in it now. The issue is narrated by Sarhento Sagrado via a personal log entry about the recent events in the Bayan Knights’ universe. Two things happen in this issue: first, the encounter with the BANGIS team is resolved. Second and more importantly, the final chess pieces are gathered.
The main story also reads like a sort of encyclopedia - re-introducing us to characters and giving hints about the new ones, reminding us that this is a very RICH universe and full of potential. Most noticeable about the latest release is the art which was digitally painted by Gilbert Monsanto. Yes, I said painted — and NOT toned. Though I find some of the roughs a little bit “rough,” GM still managed to wow me with a lot of wonderful pin-up styled shots and paneling. And can you believe how awesome that Harvey Tolibao (Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic) cover is? Check out the website for availability and ordering information.
When I was a kid, I grew up reading Filipino FUNNY Komiks. Turns out, most of my generation did. So, it should really come as no surprise that someone sooner or later would be doing something like this.
Created by Jp Cuison and Dennis Nierra, they describe this as "Funny Komiks on acid... Full of gore, sex and drugs presented in a very kiddie-like manner." They actually took characters from Combatron, Tinay Pinay, Tomas & Kulas and put them in lewd and childish situations. Issue 2 includes parodies of other icons from our childhood like Shaider and the Mighty Thor. Juvinile and delinquent, the books are actually funny and have managed to make me laugh out loud -- to the chagrin of my officemates. Below is the Mighty-T motion comic.
 Created by RH Quilantang, this book as the title suggest is a prelude to Manila Man's world. This introduction started off serious, ironically narrated through APOG's eyes. He's that broody looking dude on the cover, smoking a cigarette and wearing the "action-star" leather jacket. He is humorless and he is also blind.
Halfway through, Manila Man finally appears and he's the complete opposite of Apog -- funny as hell and may I say a little bit out of his mind. There's this one bit, where he's calling out the names of his "punches" but I think I'll keep that to myself. (Those of you who read it knows what I'm talking about.) There's also this letter on page 17. I'll admit that while reading the first paragraph, I thought it was just RH goofing off on his credits page but it's actually written by Manila Man's alter ego John Leysi.
Let's talk about the art: RH takes advantage of the NOIR in the title, using the blacks and whites to full effect. I love the hatchings he did for the shadows. It shows how much time and effort he put into making this comic book. So grab a copy. And when I say grab, I mean buy.
Went to Komikon today and got my hand on issues 1 thru 4 of Hubert Khan Michael's Unstoppable. And since I've already reviewed issue 1 which was posted on his deviantArt, I'll be jumping right into issue's 2 thru 4.
 In these installments, we learn more about Unstoppable's civilian life and his support system - the people who shares his secret. Although I found the interaction between him and these people quite entertaining, I also found it just a tinsy bit odd. Maybe it's just me but aren't you supposed to keep your superheroing from people you care about to keep them safe?
Anyways, the plot tickens even more as we learn about the mastermind behind the Terrobot attack in issue one. He's a mysterious fella called Doctrine and he wants Unstoppable to join him. I'll be stopping here as I don't want to spoil the secrets, twists, turns and switcheroos in the issues. Yep, Hubert knows how to keep a story fresh. Everytime I think I know what's going on he throws me a curveball. And believe me, I can sniff a story a mile away. But in case you don't, here's the blurb written by Gerry Alanguilan on issue 3: "...Storytelling is excellent... and the transitions between scenes can sometimes be very clever... A very good and promising comic book!"
And although the covers say “X of 4”, there’s going to be more! As it turns out, these four issues are just Act 1 of a 3-part act. I say, BRING IT ON.
By swiping a Rider Pass across the SetTouch in his belt, Kamen Rider Den-O is able to pass through four basic forms, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Each of the forms is based on a specific mythological hero along with motifs relating to the respective legends.
The Den-O Belt works by drawing in free energy from the surrounding area, allowing it to generate the Den-O suit, which consists of a soft but durable material called Aura Skin and tough armor called Aura Armor. As the name implies, Aura Skin and Armor are attuned to the wearer's individual aura; because of Ryotaro's weak will, he can only generate the basic Plat Form. However, possession by Imagin causes the Aura Skin and Armor to reconfigure themselves into a form that matches the Imagin's will, as well as generating a facemask called Denkamen.
PLAT FORM, Den-O's most basic form, is a black and white form that is activated when first initiating a transformation using a Rider Pass. If the corresponding color-coded button is selected, then by swiping the Pass once more, a form change will occur. Ryotaro rarely uses this form, as it does not have sufficient armor and pales in comparison to the abilities of the other forms. Only when he does not want the assistance of the Taros or is transitioning into Liner Form, does he use this form. Plat Form is designed and named after a railway platform.
SWORD FORM is Kamen Rider Den-O's first form, used while Ryotaro is possessed by Momotaros. When in Sword Form, he uses the DenGasher as a standard sword-style weapon. Sword Form is the most balanced of all his forms and most used, possibly because of Momotaros' prominence among the other Imagin. Every so often, Momotaros will develop a new Hissatsu Attack that he uses to finish off Imagin, and has developed Parts 1, 2, 2-dash, 3, 5, Special Version, and the other-Imagin-assisted Final Version, although parts 2, 3, and 5 are essentially identical. Sword Form also has a triple roundhouse Rider Kick that Momotaros refers to as his "Super Finishing Attack". The eyes on the Sword Form's Denkamen resemble two halves of a peach, the fruit associated with the story of Momotaro, the Peach Boy, upon which Sword Form is based.
ROD FORM is Kamen Rider Den-O's second form, used while Ryotaro is possessed by Urataros. When in Rod Form, the DenGasher is able to transform into a rod-style weapon. Rod Form gains the ability to perform underwater, extra protection, and increased kicking power but suffers a loss of physical powers and jumping height. This form is one of the least used of Den-O's forms, as Urataros rarely fights. However, when the fight occurs in the proximity of water or if the other Imagin are unable to fight, Urataros will assist with his fishing skills. Rod Form is also only one of two forms that uses a Rider Kick as part of its standard finisher, pinning the enemy with the rod as a harpoon before executing the flying side kick. The Aura Armor and Denkamen resembles a sea turtle, the animal associated with the legend of Urashima Taro, upon which Rod Form is based.
AXE FORM is Kamen Rider Den-O's third form, used while Ryotaro is possessed by Kintaros. When in Axe Form, the DenGasher is able to transform into an axe for short ranged attacks. Axe Form gains increased punching power and defense but suffers a loss of speed and kicking power. This form is physically the strongest of the Den-O forms, due to Kintaros's own brute strength. Axe Form's Aura Armor is golden yellow and the motif is that of an axe, both symbols prevalent in the story of Kintaro, the Golden Boy, upon which Axe Form is based. The Denkamen is also shaped like the Kanji word for "gold".
GUN FORM is Kamen Rider Den-O's fourth form, used while Ryotaro is possessed by Ryutaros. When in Gun Form, the DenGasher is able to transform into a gun for short range and long range attacks. Gun Form displays an increase in speed, power, and defense, easily making it the most superior of the four basic forms. However, Gun Form tends to cause more collateral damage than the other forms because its high-powered ammunition and Ryutaros' low precision. Ryutaros incorporates break-dancing moves into his fighting style in Gun Form, making his movements somewhat unpredictable. The motif of Gun Form is that of a dragon, the creature associated with the story of Tatsu no Ko Taro, Taro the Dragon Boy, upon which Gun Form is based.
WING FORM is Den-O's fifth form, used while Ryotaro is possessed by Sieg. Den-O Wing Form uses the DenGasher as two separate weapons, a boomerang (Sword and Grip) and a hand-axe (Axe and Gun). In order to access Wing Form, the golden Wing Buckle must be placed over the Terminal Buckle. This form gives Den-O an increase in mobility even greater than what Gun Form could provide. When in Wing FOrm, the Aura Skin becomes gold and the Denkamen visor becomes swan-like. Den-O also receives wings. These are associated with the bird of the story of Swan Lake, upon which Wing Form is based.
CLIMAX FORM wielding the DenGasherClimax Form is Den-O's sixth and strongest form in the series and is accessed by entering the code 3-6-9-# into the Climax Cellphone K-Taros and attaching it to the Den-O Belt. Climax Form is basically a stronger version of Sword Form that incorporates the Denkamen of the other three primary Den-O forms onto various parts of the armor. Due to the nature of Climax Form, the Taros need to work as a unit to fight, and their strengths are incorporated into Climax Form. Rod Form's mask is on the right shoulder with Urataros controlling the right arm, Axe Form's mask is on the left shoulder with Kintaros controlling the left arm, and Gun Form's mask is on the chest with Ryutaros control the legs. The three masks can travel along the tracks on Climax Form's body to align on the leg or arm to enter Kick Mode or Punch Mode and perform "Charge and Up" attacks.
LINER FORM wielding the DenKamen SwordLiner Form is Den-O's final form in the series. In order to transform into Liner Form, the Rider Pass must be put in a slot in the back of the blade of the DenKamen Sword. This form, solely controlled by Ryotaro with the Imagin using the DenKamen Sword as a means of communication, is themed around DenLiner in transformation and attack. Ryotaro also utilizes each Imagin's respective fighting style when their mask is selected on the DenKamen Sword - Kintaros' strength and defense in KinAx mode, and Ryutaros' breakdancing techniques in RyuGun mode. Although considerably versatile, Liner Form does not hold any significant strengths over Den-O's other forms, which sometimes leaves Ryotaro at a disadvantage.
— from the dream I had last night.
It’s weird to get a quote from a dream. The weirder part is when your dream is an episode of a killer-of-the-week type procedural. You see, the quote was said by the lead female detective in my dream, from a note written by the victim’s daughter. So did they catch the killer? Yeah, they did. The magician did it (not the butler). He actually severed the head of the victim and would have used it in his act if they hadn’t stop him.
KAMEN RIDER CHALICE aka Hajime Aikawa (played by Ryouji Morimoto)
Quick Info: A mysterious man who uses the sealed Category Ace of Hearts' CHANGE Mantis to become CHALICE. He lives at Jacaranda Cafe with the Kurihara family. He is an Undead. He thinks less of humans but will always risk his life to save Haruka Kurihara and her daughter Amane.
Black JOKER UNDEAD is Chalice's true form, the most powerful of the Undead; the 53rd Existence. Unsealed around the time the others were released, Joker battled the Mantis Undead and assumed his form, taking on the name of Chalice. He later seals the Human Undead who willingly surrenders to him, using the card to assume human form. The result of using both of these cards for most of the time resulted with both the Human Undead's compassion for life and the Mantis Undead's fighting spirit collectively suppressing Chalice's natural impulse as the Joker. However, some of the Undead who knew his true identity made attempts to dispose of him as his victory in the battle royale would mark the end of all life on Earth.
Kamen Rider Chalice: ACE FORM is not similar to the BOARD Riders' since Chalice is not a Kamen Rider produced by a Rider System. He is in fact the manifestation of the Mantis Undead. The Joker mimics the form, attributes and power of the Mantis Undead by using the ♥A: "Change Mantis" Rouse Card in the Chalice Rouzer embedded in his body. He is basically superior to the BOARD Riders in every respect, making him a lethal adversary to either the Undead or the Humans.
Kamen Rider Chalice: WILD CHALICE is the ultimate form of Chalice, which merges the power of the ♥K: "Evolution Paradoxa" with ♥A: "Change Mantis" to unify the powers of the other Rouse Cards of the Heart Suit. Outside of its combat practicality, Wild Chalice serves an even more vital purpose to Chalice. Thanks to the additional power of ♥, Wild Chalice can suppress the power of the Joker and effectively subdue its influence. To that effect, Wild Chalice becomes an extension of the Joker's "Trump" effect and can harness the powers of all Rouse Cards in the form of the "Wild Card".
Weapons and Equipment: Chalice’s primary armament is the Chalice Arrow, a reproduction of the bow and arrow weapon originally used by the Mantis Undead. It proves to be a truly versatile weapon, facilitating many combat functions; the basic projectile "bow" mode which volleys out waves of laser bolts; a "knuckle" mode normally reserved for melee engagement; and the "blade" mode which utilizes the blade-like joints of the Chalice Arrow as lethal weapons. Being a genuine Undead weapon, the Chalice Arrow does not have the AP cache feature to replicate the effects of Rouze Cards. When in Wild form, Chalice gains two kama-like weapons that resemble mantis claws called Wild Slasher. These can be interlocked with the Chalice Arrow to assemble the Wild Rouzer which is able to shoot out a beam of energy at its target. Chalice's Rider Machine is called the Shadow Chaser

KAMEN RIDER GARREN aka Sakuya Tachibana (played by Kousei Amano)
Quick Info: The first human to use the Rider System. He uses the sealed Category Ace Of Diamonds' CHANGE Stag to become GARREN. By the start of the Blade series, Tachibana begins to suffer a form of cellular degeneration and thus believed the Rider System to be flawed.
Kamen Rider Garren: ACE FORM is the default transformation of all Rider Systems. Rider System-01 harnesses the DNA of the Stag Undead from the ♦A: "Change Stag" Rouse Card and fuses that DNA with Sakuya Tachibana's DNA via the Garren Buckle Rider System, transforming him into Kamen Rider Garren. This Rider form has no distinguishing capabilities or attributes apart from any other Rider except its gunslinger-oriented design and its ability to modify its capabilities with Rouse Cards.
Kamen Rider Garren: JACK FORM is a combat extension of the Rider System which harnesses the power of the ♦Jack: "Fusion Peacock" via the Rouse Absorber. Initiating Jack Form transmogrifies the Rider Armor with the attributes and characteristics of the Peacock Undead DNA, as well as enhancing Garren's combat perimeters. This form imparts a number of enhancements; the first being the enhancement of the Garrenrouzer with a bayonet attachment. This imparts a limited, but much-needed, melee capacity to the otherwise projectile-oriented weapon. The second advancement is the addition of reinforced golden-armor plating which increase resilience to direct-impact damage. But the most drastic modification is the inclusion of wings, which enables flight for the Rider.
Kamen Rider Garren: KING FORM never made an appearance in the series or movie. Theoretically, Garren would initiate this transformation by using the ♦K: "Evolution Giraffa" Rouse Card in conjunction with the ♦Q: "Absorb Serpent" Rouse Card that has been set into the Rouse Absorber.
Weapons and Equipment: Garren’s primary armament is the Garren Rouzer, a hi-tech gun which serves as a weapon for combat and storage unit for Rouse Cards, including Proper Blanks. It has a built-in 'rousing' technology, which enables Garren to use the sealed Undead's power. After activating Jack Form, the Garren Rouzer gains an enhancement in the form of a blade forming on the barrel to let the weapon be used for close-range attacks. Garren's Rider Machine is called the Red Rhombus.
