Alamat Comics
(2/5 ★★☆☆☆)

The Plot:

White haired? Old age? These does not stop a superhero from being of service to his fellowmen. All these he does for a price of course.

The Good:

The comedic personality of this old superhero would make us smile as he goes on to fulfill his duty.

The years of waiting for this superhero that comes with a bill from Alamat Comics definitely lands a good spot in our to buy list. The illustrations are well drawn in which we get some bonus pin ups from Ian Sta. Maria and Chito Miranda. That is really awesome to see.

The Bad:

An old aged superhero. A villain with glowing eyes. After Komikon 2014, you might associate these words with a different superhero who is also from Alamat Comics. Having a protagonist and antagonist with the same set of characteristics as the comics Sixty Six makes you wonder of how the story of Mang Jose will keep on getting your attention in terms of the overall story. Having Sixty Six establish itself first, who is currently on its 3rd chapter of the story, Mang Jose needs to be able to create its own path that would not set us looking for more similarities from the other series.

The Verdict:

Mang Jose is an enjoyable superhero who entertains us with his nice comedic lines while in action.

Even though Mang Jose was the first to tease us from Alamat Comics, we might soon loose the hype due to the storyline of Sixty Six who got ahead and is now on its 3rd chapter of the story. The next issue of Mang Jose must be able to maintain to raise the hype for its superhero.

It is still too early to speak of Mang Jose's retirement but his bill must be worth it to continue following him in the next issues.
