Indie Thang...I should put a number here...

 This is a not-so-review/bullet reviews of the indies we acquired from the past two Kons.  May contain spoilers.


Shinkei Hanketsu #1-2

I like the printing quality of this title...it's really sharp.

Shinkei Hanketsu has a really interesting premise.  You have a gangster type of guy who will pay for his past sins via an
interesting punishment. It has a lot of potential.

As for the pace, it's a little too fast for me.  It was so fast, that the part where Yakusubi took over the old man's body didn't quite work for me.  I know he will be empathic during the "possession phase", BUT I think he needed to know the old man a little longer before he "feels" remorse.  It could have been one whole chapter.

Slow down a little next time maybe? Let your readers sink in...  


Salmon Komiks #2

Salmon has this signature story flavor that I like.  Feels much like Short Program series by Adachi.  Yung bitin niya, bitin talaga na walang kasunod...halos lahat open ended, and I like that a lot.  The humor is also very subtle... :9


Salmon Komiks #4

THe group finally decided to start a series...and I find it intruiging.  ^3^  The flipperman was trippy.  


Darwin's  Association of Delicious Evilness #2-4

As usual, Carlo's art is impressive.  THe story got intersting when they started recruiting members for the group.  I'm not sure what Carlo used for the original art, but I love the sketchiness.

I still have a problem with the changing font sizes, but meh...  I still like the story and execution a lot.  :9


Hunger


More than anything, this comic is a social commentary.  Although I think the comic is not for everybody. It's worth checking out since you get to see Marius' opinion on the topic...no matter how surreal the interpretation is.  It's raw and I like it. ^w^


Nino Balita - Espiritista #2

Nino is getting better at storytelling.  The script is still really good, and I enjoyed it a lot.  ;3

***

Okay, still not done reading everything...it's just a few more titles.  But please bear with me on my updates since my baby's finally here and taking over my universe... ^_^;

Stay tuned for more...
