Review

A logical and well-crafted evolution of Arre’s folklore-meets-modernity trip inThe Mythology Class, this graphic novel is more action-packed, faster-paced and darker than Class. Told in Filipino and featuring crisp art,Agimatis an epic in a fishbowl, as Arre continues to tweak his unique take on the idea of metahumans and Filipino legends—with a good dab of superstition. Furthermore, Andong Agimat makes for a promising protagonist for future books andAgimatis confident proof that Arre has found a spectacular niche.
