Comics: Josef Miggy & Yaya Karol ~ Issue 1 (of 4)

Story by: Budjette Tan
Illustrated by: Rysa Antonio and Kajo Baldisimo
Alamat Comics
(5/5 ★★★★★)


The Plot:
A kidnapping happened in front of Josef and Yaya Karol. Gifted with super powers, Josef Miggy a.k.a. Kid Kilowattz and Yaya Karol a.k.a. Dark Cloud, rescues Louie from his abductors. Will they be able to get Louie back? Will they finish all of this and still be in time for Josef's grandmother's birthday?

The Good:
This comic cleared the questions, from Josef Miggy & Yaya Karol ~ Super Secret Adventures, on whether their super powers were real or imaginary.

The illustrations and story still looks great. It maintained that tone that makes this comic to be kid friendly. The best example would be attack moves labeled as Electro Blaster and Sonic Boom Sigaw.

The Bad:
Now that the question on whether or not Josef Miggy and Yaya Karol had super powers were answered. The next question would then be regarding the origin of their powers. Since this is just the first of the four part series, we'll just have to wait on how the creators would tell the origin of their powers.

The Verdict:
A lot of things have been subtly mentioned for the future plot of this mini series as different antagonists and item were mentioned in this 1st issue. Who knows, maybe this story is part of the Trese universe that Tan and Baldisimo had built. Especially since this was marked as an Alamat Comics. A lot of events could happen, such as possible crossovers of characters or the recognition that they too belong to the universe where the guardian of the city wields a Sinag as the choice of weapon and is often protected by two demigods.

Josef Miggy & Yaya Karol's kid friendly story smoothly entered the Alamat universe that is often toned to be very dark.

"If only we had a real magic word to yell this would be easier!
Saying "Ula-Ula-Ula-Pow!" just makes me sound silly!" - Yaya Karol

Comics: Josef Miggy & Yaya Karol ~ Super Secret Adventures

Inks and Pencils by: Rysa Antonio
Story by: Budjette Tan
Inks and Backgrounds by: Kajo Baldisimo
Alamat Comics
(5/5 ★★★★★)


The Plot:
Super Secret Adventures is about Josef Miggy and his nanny's, Yaya Karol, adventures. A story between a nanny and the child she watches over as they live out their "super powers" with still enough time to do all the household chores.

The Good:
The diary type of story telling looks great in the illustrations of Super Secret Adventures. The illustrations matches the story perfectly. Refraining from illustrating a very detailed background and by simply focusing on things that matter most to the story, it gives the required tone for this comic to be enjoyed by young readers.

The Bad:
The story does not explain itself much if what we're seeing are the lives of two humans with super powers or if they still belong to the imagination of the child. The scene wherein Josef hopes his parents would know that he is Kid Kilowattz and that he has been a big help in lowering their electricity bill are just some of the scenes that would arouse curiosity if the child indeed has super powers or not.

The Verdict:
Alamat Comics surprises us with this child oriented comic due to the light tone that was made to the illustrations. A story about a child and his nanny, Josef Miggy and Yaya Karol is sure to hit the hearts of most people, especially those whose love and care during their childhood years were filled up by their nannies.
