This is not a review, but more on as an appreciation on the creation of this group. It is a group of very talented writers and artists. It is a Filipino comic book group based in Manila which was founded on November 1994. Some of the well known comic personalities from this group are Budjette Tan, Ian Sta. Maria, Kajo Baldisimo, Mervin Ignacio and David Hontiveros. They all gave us great stories like; Trese, Kadasig, and of course the one most Filipinos will be surely proud of once it is adapted into a movie after upgrades on our special effects, Skyworld. Just by reading the book, you can already picture it out and the growing tension from the plot comes to life as you flip across the pages of the comic.
Kudos to all the people involved in this group. I can say that they could later be a Marvel or DC Comics equivalent here in the Philippines. It is one of the best local comics that we have here. By merely attending a Komikon, one can see that it is one of the booths that will never be vacant of a fan wanting to get an autograph and picture with his/her idolized comic book creator.
I'm just looking forward for more great works to come out of this group and hope that someday, with the improvement of the quality of special effects in the Philippine movies, it will someday give justice to the world that Alamat Comics had brought to us readers.
They indeed have a great way of telling the legends and stories that our ancestors had. Who knows, maybe in that genre would Filipino comics be known for, like the way Japan has been known for its manga.
