Illustration and Story by: Macoy
(3/5 ★★★☆☆)
The Plot:
Deep below Taal volcano, sleeps a monster.
Awakened by noise pollution from tourists flocking Tagaytay city, he rises up through an elevator as he makes his way to the city.
That is until, an evil space paru-paro flutters on his way.
The Good:
The ridiculous premise of the appearance of both creatures makes it really entertaining. Combined with simple illustrations, this is a relaxing comic that can be enjoyed by all ages.
The story presents a reflection of our nation's current situation. Some of those that were seen are the boom of tourism in Tagaytay and the condition of the planes used by our air force.
The Bad:
The simple cover could be the reason for it to be ignored. Composed only of texts and the absence of illustrations would make it easily be ignored by comic goers in a convention.
The Verdict:
Taal Volcano Monster vs. Evil Space Paru-paro is a stand-alone comic that will surely entertain most readers.
Readers who grew up watching the 90s Japanese children shows, such as Power Rangers, will remember the battle scenes that took place.
This simple story presents to us an interesting theory of a monster that lives under the Taal volcano. A creature that could be used as a weapon in order to prevent the city from being attacked by evil space aliens.
