Magazine: ChopSoy ~ 2015-2016 Arts & Comics Previews

Edited by: Stephen Dee Young

ChopSoy, Inc.

(Cover by Bernard Peña)

ChopSoy made itself known, last Komikon 2015, by launching a 28-pages magazine. It features a lot of things on pop culture. Touching on the different types of arts, collections and comics, it aims both to educate and be a stress reliever by providing 3 pages to color.

Articles that caught my interest were Generation C, Among the First Komikeros and Tapping the Manix Cult. An interesting preview of Buster can also be seen, which will surely trigger a comic book reader's interest.

Be sure to buy a copy of this magazine when you see it.

Magazine: Bookwatch ~ 2015 Vol. 19 No. 1

Edited by: Paolo Chikiamco

Bookwatch is the official publication of the National Book Development Board (NBDB). This issue, which was edited by Chikiamco (co-creator of Mythspace), gives an insight on the current status of the Philippine Book Industry. It also shows how much has changed throughout the years. This is in regard to the books that we publish and the continued increase of Filipino readers, that encompasses those who read books in print and electronically. Some of the interesting things that I had read are about the 1st Bulilit Festival, the death of Martha Cecilia (writer for Precious Hearts Romance) and the upcoming titles of new books from the different publishers.

Feel free to read this magazine digitally for free. Just click on the link below which was provided by the editor through his twitter.
