The Plot:

Upon discovering his superpower, Mang Tino takes on punishing the bad guys with his bare hands. As a senior citizen, who knew that he could wield so much strength. That is until he is observed by a leader of a group whose members have glowing eyes. This issue ends with Donat speeding up his wheelchair to the scene of the crime.

The Good:

We are now given a villain whose powers can be of a match against our sixty-six year old superhero.

The letters being sent to Mang Tino at the end of every issue becomes interesting. In this issue it would be great to know what really took place wherein Ella was involved. It could be a great plot for this series.

The cover for the third issue looks great even though it is a simple black illustration of Mang Tino standing with his hands on his waist.

The Bad:

Mostly it is the copy of this issue that is a big thumbs down. The story and illustrations were great. The quality just suffered as a result of the poor printing of this comic. It lowered the value of this comic. Because the way it was photocopied was like it came from an old photocopying machine.

The Verdict:

Despite the poor quality of this issue due to the poor photocopier or printer, it continues to intrigue us about this senior citizen who recently got his super powers. As the villain is slowly introduced in this issue, it would also be nice if the letters at the end of every issue could somehow tie up to the plot of this series.

Chapter 3 of Sixty Six gives us our local take on a superhero disguised thru his old age. A superhero who drops off the cape and puts on a cap instead.

May lakas nga kayo, di niyo naman ginagamit!" - Donat
