2 posts | 3 read
Award-winning Filipino comic book and soon to be Netflix anime series! When the sun sets in the city of Manila, dont you dare make a wrong turn and end up in that dimly- lit side of the metro, where blood-sucking aswang run the most-wanted kidnapping rings, where gigantic kapre are the kingpins of crime, and magical engkantos slip through the cracks and steal your most precious possessions. When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police call Alexandra Trese. Trese Vol 1 "Murder on Balete Drive" features all new, redrawn artwork throughout, and includes a substantial bonus section with behind-the-scenes sketches, info and details on the making of the book and further insight into the world of Trese, as told by its creators Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo!

Mehso-so

This urban fantasy graphic novel set in the Philippines is strong with mythological rrpresentation, but okay with writing style and visual sequence of the story. With the first few stories, the writing and story sequence was jumbled, some chapters, character spotlight, and cases felt rushed. Alexandra Trese seemed flat in this volume. The last 2 stories grasped my attention and centered on a theme. I'll read volume 2 to see how the story develops.

#ConflictedWorlds Day 17: #PersonVsSupernatural is captured perfectly in this graphic novel that is now on Netflix!! Make sure you watch it, Litsy people! Here is a photo with the creator, Budjette Tan, whom I interviewed at GatheringBooks (along with my daughter, when she was but a wee thing, and now she‘s in Uni!) and invited to speak at the Asian Festival Children‘s Content in Singapore.
