This comic attempts to present to us a different view on Philippine mythological creatures, such as the kapre and the tikbalang. It also shares some views regarding aliens.
The story centers around Ambrosio, a child that grew up with tales of mythological creatures that lives alongside with us in the universe. These were stories that his grandmother told him as he grew up. Stories he didn't believe in until he himself got abducted by these same creatures that was narrated by his grandmother. This story aims to tackle differently on familiar things that we had come to know as a child. Things such as our knowledge on our local mythological creatures are theorized to be aliens in this story. The author has really given us a different spectrum and wild idea of how aliens could look like.
The story and art are really nice. But the most catchy thing for me is the cover art of this comic. Overall, this is one of the few titles wherein it is an original concept that is good to follow. It was well written and the art was nicely drawn. The colors of the cover art was also nice. This is one of those comics that you should own especially if you have a fascination with stories that involves Philippine mythological creatures and/or aliens.
