Comics: Tibok ng Utak ~ Blg. 4: Jomari Angeles

Story by: Jomari Angeles
Illustrated by: Manix Abrera
National Book Development Board
(3/5 )


This is another freebie to the early birds of Komikon 2014. Limited copies were given away by the NBDB (National Book Development Board).

The Plot:
It is a short poemish look on Jomari Angeles' experiences as an actor and how he handles that profession.

The Good:
The nice illustrations made by Abrera has given life to Angeles' poem styled story.

The author has also made an interesting style of conveying that story through a repetition of words.

The Bad:
Later on, the uniqueness in the style it was written wears off and this becomes a simple story that just plays with words.

The Verdict:
Story wise it is a big no for me. So far it bears Manix's name that makes people want to collect this. Add in the fact that limited number of copies exists. It is mostly a collector's item for fans of Manix
