(5/5 ★★★★★)

Ang Sumpa was uploaded in the internet by Andoyman last year. At the same time the whole chapter 2 was also uploaded. The 2nd part of this chapter mainly goes about the clues that Arman has discovered in the President's room. This has led him to conclude that the President may have not committed suicide and he was murdered instead. The chapter ends as Arman discovers a creepy message in the President's cabinet.

The Good:

The cover art for this chapter is stunning. It would leave a mark if this really happened. It would be really a sad sight to see the image as the body of the President of the Republic of the Philippines as he is being carried off by the police.

This second chapter of Ang Sumpa was an enjoyable read. It teaches us that in life, sometimes, one would always need to pay better attention at the small things. For those small things may be the ones that are really important.

A nice cliffhanger was left to us through the mysterious identity of 23.

The Bad:

I just wish that the creators of Ang Sumpa would now release the story through a complete chapter instead of giving us 2 parts per chapter. They really give the readers a lot of suspense in waiting for the next chapter of the story.

Hopefully, the reason why Ang Sumpa is the title of this series would be enlightened to us in the next chapter.

The Verdict:

This 2nd chapter is definitely worth the wait. As it begins with a game of hide and seek, the creators of Ang Sumpa leaves us with a disturbing message of playing hide and seek with death.

Andoyman has definetly planted a great story. I just can't wait to see how big this story will go. From the looks of it, the creator will take this story beyond the edges of logic and darkness that we could predict. It would keep our brains rushing and thinking as to what could happen next.

"Natagpuang patay ang Pangulo ng Pilipinas

Bago 'to lumabas sa balita, mayroong mga

Napansin si Arman Darte (NBI) sa silid ng

Pangulo na magbibigay sa kanya ng duda kung

Nagpakamatay nga ba ito."

I was thinking of making the review for chapter 2 of Andoyman's Ang Sumpa once the second part is released. But I changed my mind and decided to make a review of part 1.

The first part of the second chapter starts us with a nice storytelling of a childhood incident that happened between President Enrique Ortega and Arman. Enrique had almost fallen off a cliff if it wasn't for Arman who helped him out of danger. Surely, this incident will never be forgotten by anyone who underwent any type of near death experience. This part ended with Arman thinking that the President's death might not have been due to a suicide at all. Murder was the primary cause that was playing on his mind.

This is one of the many interesting stories that can be found in Komikon.

The art and story are good. The only troublesome part is that its a bit of a struggle to wait for the next Komikon in hopes of getting the next part or chapter of the story. As a reader, the story aspires and gives us that feeling of knowing everything and later on being left in shock as the answers to our questions were just in front of our eyes from the very begining.

One of the best features of this comic is the cover and the two page spread that features the title of the comic. In the two page spread, the title divides the page horizontally. The illustrations portray Arman on the left and President Enriquez on the right. Above the title, a scene regarding their childhood is shown. However, below the title, the present situation is the one illustrated. This two page spread is really a nice concept.

Andoyman's work in Ang Sumpa might be the local detective counterpart of Trese. Instead of dealing with the paranormal, this comic will give us a view on how strong the mind is in solving cases by having a keen observation. So far, this is a must buy in every Komikon.
