The story revolves around Celestino "Tino" A. Cabal who lives with his wife Aura, whose memory seems to fade away as years pass by. The scene begins with Tino going home with flashbacks of him talking to Ella, his daughter who's working abroad. The first chapter ends with him saving his wife from being run over by an incoming truck. The scene then finishes off with him lifting the truck and tossing it away easily just like it was a piece of paper to be shoot off into a trash bin.
The story presents a different superhero that I presumed gained superhero powers as he turned 66, since in the story he also celebrated his 66th birthday. This is an interesting story to follow which presents to us a different kind of superhero. A superhero who's a senior citizen that just turned 66 years old. Another view of the Filipino life is also illustrated in this story. The setup wherein a child works abroad in order to support her parents that raised her up, so in order to repay that, she works abroad due to the hard time that one could get in seeking for a good paying job here in our country. This is just one of the many different scenes one could get among families that have a member of a family who is an O.F.W. (Overseas Filipino Worker), our so called "bagong bayani" of our country. Indeed, from the hardships that they have to endure they are really the new hereos of our country.
This is another work that certainly is good to follow. Hope that the next chapter will be released next Komikon. hehe. Well we'll just have to wait for it to see what happens to Tino after that incident.
