Komikeria | Road to Komikon 2023

After nearly three years of hiatus, Komikon returns with a pop-up event at the Robinsons Galleria that started a workshop a week earlier and then with this one-day Filipino Komiks-centric event known as “Komikeria” that is a whole-day affair featuring old and new publications focused on graphic novels and singles issues. The last Komikon dates back to November 2019 until the world shut down, but they never stopped there with virtual events. But the virtual interaction is not the same as how you meet people in person. These little steps in their return to bringing physical events with “Komikeria” are also a pathway to return to the beginning.
