Comics: Higante ~ Episode 1: A Monster Grows From the Wasteland

Illustration and Story by: Geonard Yleana
Rated: For Mature Readers
Pelikomiks Studios
(3/5 ★★★☆☆)

(Cover by Sid Santos)
"Two brother scavengers discover
a mysterious and powerful source
of energy.
Now, they're going to teach
society a lesson."

The Good:
The first episode of Higante shows the different ironies that are present in our society. Such as seeing a pile of garbage underneath a "no throwing of garbage" sign. Also piles of junk serves as a playground for kids leading them to compare it to Disneyland.

The Bad:
It is not easy to identify if this story is an origin story for a superhero story or not.

The illustration of the cover didn't do much for it to be an eye-catcher. Mostly the line "from the creators of "Zombinoy"" did it.

The Verdict:
This is another title from Pelikomiks Studios. However, this story didn't make a striking first impression compared to the other titles.

An energy drink, which makes the person who drinks it become a giant, was accidentally ingested by a young scavenger in a city. A place where society is not in an apocalyptic mood, may make the reader wonder as to how the the boys would teach society a lesson. Especially with a giant roaming the city, it may just send out the police enforcers, if they have the capability, to try to neutralize the giant.

Your place is like Disneyland." - Toti
