Asia Pop Comicon Manila is the much awaited event of the year. This is unlike any pop culture convention they thrived to make sure the fan experience is there. They also promote the independent and local artists despite being a foreign organizer not based in Manila. So it’s a big deal that beside the highlighted guests they also give the spotlight to the local scene namely the komiks community.

Creative Circle (Formerly Artist Alley)
What is Asia Pop without a ‘Comicon?’ IT IS mainly a comic convention that’s surrounded by other popular culture. The Creative Circle is where you find local creative artists from the Philippine komiks community.
This also features foreign guests promoting their original works not only from komiks, but other interesting things that might catch your attention in the next two days and there might be some surprises too.

Collectible Toys, Gaming, and Many More
There are brands from Bandai, LEGO, Magic the Gathering, and other interesting things to see over the weekend that you might get hooked. Bandai let’s you build your first Gundam kit and you can take it home for free how’s that sound?
How about you challenge one of the people at the Magic the Gathering booth and take home a half deck sample from them. Yes, you can have the experience playing Magic and the next thing you’ll know you’re trying to build a deck. All you need is someone who is into it and you don’t need to be hardcore about it.
Then there’s the LEGO area where you can bring your kid and participate in their schedule of activities happening this weekend. They also have new sets at discounted price that you might want to pick it up just pass by and see it for your self.
Besides all the above mention there are places to see and people to meet. Though if you’re into something outrageously craze there’s that wrestling ring nearby just follow the loud noise and some serious grunting you’ll definitely see it. The place would be packed and you’ll be in the thick of it just watch out for those body slams.
