  • Title, right: "mga walang pangalan pero andyan (those without names but are there) by Archie Oclos." Left: "Frolicsome, wanderers, and said to have nine lives—these are the characteristics of the leads of this story. Whitey, the combo, pirate, princess, and the batman, they are the six cats we will be following in Those Without Names But Are There by renowned street artist and muralist, Archie Oclos. cat, street, journey. Three words only. For every illustration. For every page. A few meows, several little rustles, while witnessing the journey of the said cats to the city. Join them in slipping through twists and turns: from the jeepney terminal, cafeteria, vulcanizing shop, condominium, grocery store, and other such alleys. What is it that they see from where they’re standing? What is it that we experience as creatures braving the streets?"

The Freak – Graphic Novel Review

Arden Skye11 months ago12 months ago13 mins

It was much more the story that kept me reading than the art. I find the latter to be rather mediocre, beginner-like. Not the impression the cover gave.

A horizontal promo image of Moana 2. Moana, Maui, and the 3 additional characters (Keke, Moni and Loto) as well as the Kakamora are on the boat on the right, while Pua is sitting on a wave to the left, which is putting Hei-Hei back on the boat. There's the ship of the Kakamora, and an island, which looks like an open mouth of a whale, and a sunset in the background.

Indigo – Manhua Review

Arden Skye11 months ago12 months ago02 mins

Another story that inevitably shows there’s no point in life. And yet, at the same time there is, if you want one. A never-ending wonder of: Why? And then what?

Hi, Earth – Comic Review

Arden Skye11 months ago11 months ago02 mins

Funny, yet tragic. I mostly wanted to cry to these, but the morbid humor works well enough to even make me laugh away my tears.

The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Lindz McLeod (Release Date: Apr 29 2025)

ivetafox1 year ago12 months ago13 mins

This slow burn, second chance, sapphic romance was an odd choice for me. Based on Pride and Prejudice, a book I am on record disparaging, I was prepared to dislike this book. Strongly. My initial hopes were that I may tolerate this novel and I feel honour-bound to stress this point. I did not expect…
