“Elmer is a graphic novel about talking chickens, but not like Babe was a movie about talking pigs. Elmer is a 21st Century Animal Farm that will leave you thinking about yourself and the world you live in.

Elmer is a window into a world where chickens have suddenly acquired the intelligence and consciousness of humans, where they can now consider themselves a race no different than browns, black or whites. Recognizing themselves to be sentient, the inexplicably evolved chickens push to attain rights for themselves as the newest members of the human race.

Elmer tells the story of a family of chickens who lives and struggles to survive in a suddenly complicated and dangerous world.

“I find Gerry Alanguilan’s Elmer one of my favorite comics. It’s just heart-breaking and funny and so beautifully drawn.”

-Neil Gaiman

“If I can be allowed one chicken joke, this is the work of a mature talent that has come home to roost. Check it out if you get the chance.”

- Steven Grant

Coming in November from SLG Publishing.”

And may I say that the girl beside Ryan is HOT! Wohoo!

But it was really a treat when Ryan Reynold recited the Green Lantern’s oath.

“In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil’s might,
Beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!”

Robert Downey, Jr. introduces the cast and, from the way he was speaking, it might as well have been Tony Stark introducing the Avengers himself at a press conference (which, come to think of it, it was Tony Stark introducing the Avengers!).

This is going be like the most AWESOME movie ever.

Or it could be one of those world class movie disasters but in the words of Neil Gaiman, that would be cool too!

“The popularity of the Hey, Baby! video (below), retitled “Lakas Tama ni Manong” on Facebook was great for it gave me the opportunity to talk about Philippine comics to a nationwide audience.”
