For the last two years, Kid Heroes Productions and their film Lumpia with a Vengeance have made waves at WonderCon Anaheim.

The film follows an unlikely hero and a high school student join forces to prevent a mysterious crime syndicate from destroying their town — armed only with a lumpia. Since its debut, the creators have created a world around the film, with multiple comics, for a “Deep Fried Universe”.

This month you’ll find Kid Heroes Productions at Small Press #SP-69, where they’ll be serving up WonderCon exclusives, artist signings, and a special panel at the convention.

You can also catch their panel, “Halo Halo: A Scoop of Filipino American Voices in Comics”, on Sunday, March 31 from 11am-12pm in Room 209. Publishers Waverley Lim (Kwento Comics), Mark A.J. Nazal (Diwata Komiks), Patricio Ginelsa (Lumpia with a Vengeance / Kid Heroes Productions), and Kristian Kabuay (Dasig) will be on hand to discuss how they took control of their own narrative, adding their unique flavors to the Filipino American diaspora. Those in attendance will also receive a free, exclusive art print by artist Kian Joshua.

[UPDATE March 26]

Hot out of the oven, Kid Heroes has a new super limited collectible heading to WonderCon. In honor of the completition of the first Lumpia comic book crossover saga, Kid Heroes is serving up exclusive Pan de Crisis Collector Box Sets. Attendees will have their choice of rare editions in either a shiny Ube Foil (LE 10, $75) or dark purple Ube Metal (LE 4, $150). Each numbered box will contain four issues, including Lumpia Origins #1, Jemini #2, Lumpia Squad #2, and Giant-Size Lumpia #1.

They will also be dropping new snapback hats, with the eighth edition of their popular Lumpia x Bayani Art Snapback Collection. This iteration features a gold brim, with movie art by Gerald PIlare and LeRoid David. It’s limited to only 50 pieces, and will be available for $40.
