"Sometimes people get sick without apparent

reasons that lead them to death. The Morbus

class of reapers could be the explanation.

Firmus is one of them. He can make someone

severely ill by merely touching him or her.

He harvests souls that succumbed to diseases.

Firmus gave Mika an illness that will make

her live like a vegetable for the rest of her life.

Daniel has to kill the reaper to stop the curse

on her beloved girl."

If has been a while since I last bought a new material from Black Ink Comics (BIC). The third book of The Reaper series is the 1st for 2014 that I had gotten. It is to my delight that the problem that I had seen in the previous books of BIC was addressed. This is regarding how the text dialogues and narrations are placed in each page. This is a good sign that BIC is eager on improving the quality of material they are producing by also considering some inputs from their readers.

This 3rd book of The Reaper series gets back from the story of how Mika is continuously frightened to death by Noctis and Firmus. It is their way to get back to Daniel after interfering with their duties as a reaper. It had eventually led to Firmus making Mika severly ill. This book laid out for the start of a match between Daniel and the reaper responsible for Mika's sickness. The book ends with a surprising twist that involves Vi, a calamitas type of reaper.

The Reaper is a good story to follow among the BIC works. The writer continues to feed us interesting information on stories with regards to grim reapers. The new character introduced in this book will make one wonder on how that could affect Daniel in the story. This book also poses the questions if there is indeed a Calavaren Tower in Makati, how is it visible to other non-reapers and how does one access its 13th floor. There are still a lot of books left for this series that can tell more about the nature of reapers. I'd still give a thumbs up on this series.

"The happiness I saw in her eyes eventually helped ease my pain. As long as she was happy, I was happy. Love was that stupid." - Jake Imperial

Black Ink Comics, brings to us a new set of comics that started last year with their introduction at the Winter Komikon 2012. Among those they released first is book one of The Reaper. The second book was released on Summer Komikon 2013. As of now, only two books out of the eleven for The Reaper series have been released.

The Reaper tells an interesting story on the point of view of those entity that guides the souls after a person dies. They are the temporary care takers of the souls until a judgement has been made and the souls are made to ride either an ordinary or an airconditioned bus, haha hanep nu, on the way their respective final destinations. Book 1, introduces to us all of the different reapers and their abilities on how they collect souls. On the other hand, Book 2 picks up the story of how a reaper thinks of getting back at a human that has hindered him from collecting a soul in time. So far as the story was written, it is quite enjoyable to read such as a part on book 2 wherein it depicts that despite the reaper's busy schedule, he'd still do yoga in order to relax and destress after a busy day of collecting souls. :p As for the illustration, it goes along nicely with the way the story is being told. I just hope that this series goes out well from the beginning until the end. As much as I am anticipating for the release of the rest of the books for this series. hehe.

So far, I recommend buying this comic which can easily be found at most bookstores nationwide.
