Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Award-winning Filipino comic book and soon to be Netflix anime series! When the sun sets in the city of Manila, don’t you dare make a wrong turn and end up in that dimly- lit side of the metro, where blood-sucking aswang run the most-wanted kidnapping rings, where gigantic kapre are the kingpins of crime, and magical engkantos slip through the cracks and steal your most precious possessions. When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police call Alexandra Trese. Trese Vol 1 "Murder on Balete Drive" features all new, redrawn artwork throughout, and includes a substantial bonus section with behind-the-scenes sketches, info and details on the making of the book and further insight into the world of Trese, as told by its creators Budjette Tan and KaJo Baldisimo!

Publication Year: 2008

    Interesting plot. It was exciting to see Filipino representation. I will definitely watch Trese before continuing with the comic book to see if it is something I want to continue reading.
