Episodes
For a detailed episode guide, see the main article below.
The first season of the series presented 12 distinct stories over the course of 13 episodes. One of the stories (Agua Bendita) had two parts.
The second season likewise had 12 distinct stories but had 15 episodes, because three of the stories (Inday sa Balitaw, Bampy, and Si Pardina at mga Duwende) had two parts each.
The third and fourth season of Komiks breaks from the pattern of the first two seasons, with the entire season devoted to a single story, Da Adventures of Pedro Penduko. Matt Evans of PBB Teen Edition stars in the title role. Matt Evans once again occupied the fifth season of Komiks, with a whole new adventure and characters. It is dubbed as Pedro Penduko at ang Mga Engkantao.
After the much successful airing of "Pedro Penduko" series, Komiks was shelved for a while to give way for 1 vs. 100. In April 2008, Komiks resumed airing for sixth season with the collection of Mars Ravelo's works, with Kapitan Boom as its initial offering. This was followed by Varga, Tiny Tony, Dragonna and Flash Bomba.
Another and last Ravelo serial which is different from the Pinoy superheroes entitled Nasaan Ka Maruja? also aired.
