Trese Vol. 1: Murder on Balete Drive by Kajo Baldisimo, Budjette Tan
4.0
Trese takes familiar Filipino mythology and gives it a dark, modern twist. What I used to laugh off as superstitious characters now feel real, and they have me very creeped out.
The stories are very short, making for quick reading. The writer stated that he wanted the reader to jump into any story and not feel like he has missed anything by not having read the previous stories. That works out well for this issue of Trese, where every story is complete by itself.
The art fits the story perfectly. No colors: just black and white dominating the pages, evoking a gritty atmosphere that the story deserves.
