After a long decision period and a little flipping through, I decided to finally get the following graphic novels:
I loved Arnold Arre’s The Mythology Class; even bought it when it was first published in single issues (and lost all of them -_-; ). Flipping through this in the store brought back quite a few memories from the 80′s; guess I’ll need to set aside some quiet time for this to get the full nostalgia effect.
Browsing though gave an impression of manga type humor with some pinoy flavor, much like hearing someone speak perfect English with a distinctly pinoy accent, and I meant that in a good way. I’m curious to find out how this kind of mix would work, and how the material compares to the sources of its inspiration.
Mind you, these things aren’t new. Martial Law Babies was published on 2008, and Love is In the Bag is already on Vol 4 (I think Vol 5 will end the series?). Better late than never, eh?
