Justice PH Recap: World of DC Comics Super Hero World Record

Last weekend, The World's Greatest Fans of DC Comics gathered together to help set a World Record that would count the most number of people dressed as their favorite DC Super Heroes... And one of the participating countries was our very own Philippines!

So here we go with the Recap: The World of DC Comics Super Hero World Record Philippines event!

In what is surely the most EPIC gathering of DC Comics fans ever in one place, Justice PH joined forces with Pacific Licensing, Creatif, SM City North EDSA, SM Supermalls, and the rest of the sponsors and organizers of the World of DC Comics Philippines celebration to bring together the "DC Comics Super Hero World Record" event! Together with more than 10 countries in the world, the Philippines - the ONLY Southeast Asian country participating in the celebration, was ready and on hand to be among thousands trying to break the world record, and it all went down on April 18, Saturday, at The Block, Atrium area of SM City North EDSA!

With hundreds of people joining, kids and adults from all walks of life converged to be part of the DC World Record! There were cosplayers dressed as fan-favorites like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern, while others went for the more interesting choices like Booster Gold, Cyborg, and even Hawkgirl! The Teen Titans were also in attendance... And even characters from the graphic novel Watchmen and Sgt. Rock! All gathered to take part for the official World Record count, and later on see the finalists of the DC Super Hero Cosplay Competition showcase their talent and costumes for an epic final contest that saw three winners emerge!

Fully Booked: David Finch will be in Manila this March 17 and 18!

Announced by Comic Odyssey earlier in the day, Fully Booked has officially announced via their Tumblr page that DC Comics artist David Finch will be coming to Manila, Philippines on March 17 and 18 to meet and greet fans at the bookstore's branch at Bonifacio High Street. This comes after last week's unfortunate news, where unforeseen circumstances had to force Mr. Finch to miss his scheduled tour for March 11, 12, and 13. Now the man behind Batman: The Dark Knight  is really coming this time, and anyone living in Manila who's a fan of his works and comics will surely want to plan their weekends for this!

Here's the official announcement from Fully Booked themselves via Tumblr!

"David Finch in Manila has been rescheduled to THIS WEEKEND! :-) We are very happy to announce this and will be releasing the details as soon as we can. Kindly stay tuned and help spread the word to the rest of his fans! :-)"


Be sure to catch David Finch at Fully Booked at BHS this Saturday and Sunday! Also, resident DC Comics cosplayers Justice PH/ Gotham PH and Gotham Madness will be there to support the artist and bookstore, wearing the cape, cowl, and uniforms of the characters from the Batman universe! See you all there!
