Hindi na ito bago sa akin. I am fond of reading comic strips on newspapers and also on some comic themed publications and this is a typical topic. Funny stories ot backstories about Philippine mythical creatures and the likes is always fun to scan down that alerts and enhances my thinking and creativity.
What makes this unique for me is the more modernized attack on the plot and words. Even the characters have up-to-date personality that I think might click to younger readers and even non-readers for them to be encouraged to explore literature. Lingaw gyud kaayo ug makaingon ko na grabe gid pagkutaw ni author sa mga piyesa. Twists after twists, shocks after shocks.
I like also that parts or some of the pieces are not comedically written like slice of life themed and deep horror/gruesome just to give breaks for the main road of the zine—"para dili sum-od" in other words.
Great illustrations, I commend the artist. For the cover, maybe it'll be more catchy if it's vibrant, added with at least 2 or 3 colors and more modernized figures just to grab attention and realize the general theme of the zine. But they're good, again, OA lang jud ko.
This is my 2nd to last review for now, and the last will be from the same author. An event will pop out later this March at sana makabili kung makabili o baka may mag-donate. Beke nemen.
