This is a free comic given away to the first 100 individuals who lined up in the NBDB (National Book Development Board) booth last Winter Komikon 2013. The signing for this freebie caused a blockage of around 3 booths, if I remembered it correctly, due to the long line it created. It took me around 2 hours before I finally got my turn and have it signed by it's creators.
The story starts with the character of Mercedes being stuck out in outer space. It gives a little bit of humor by making reference to the 2013 movie Gravity and using her character's body as a spaceship after finding a planet nearby. She then lands on it by using her belly. As the story continues, the character shares on how dreams are created. It gives the very origin on where some of the best literature came from, which is through dreams. This story, which was written by Mercedes, is somehow near to how Manix, the illustrator, creates Kikomachine Komix. That is no mater how bizarre and strange the story goes, it certainly holds an important message.
This freebie generally aims to capture the interest of the attendees of Komikon to also go and attend ReaderCon. It also shows the primary function and vision of the NBDB on encouraging people to read more. This is a nice and free treat that I got from the NBDB. Hope you were also among the lucky 100 individuals who also got this from the 2013 Winter Komikon.
