Dra. Yap Mini Comics Review

"The subtitle to this story reads: “A True Story About a Doctor Who Unknowingly Joined Satanism.” ‘Nuff Said. It is remarkable how Hazel Manzano has blossomed from a newpaper cartoonist making simple three-panel punchlines to this confident graphic storyteller. Since she started experimenting with longer autobiographical works earlier this year, her storytelling technique has just gotten better and better. But even if you’ve never heard of Hazel Manzano before, you are going to enjoy this zany, creepy and highly entertaining story about the eponymous psychically-gifted doctor."

Dra. Yap Comic Review

Here the first review of my upcoming comics this weekend in Metro Comicon. Thanks Raipo!

"I was at SkyCable's Gamer vs. Gamer event last Saturday to cover the event for Joystiko, read all about it here. I had the chance to rub elbows with the Komikon people most notably: Lyndon Gregorio, Hazel Manzano, Andrew Villar, Gio Paredes, Syeri Baet and hubbie Jon Zamar.I was lucky enough to score copies of Hazel and Andrew's new stuff even before the Metrocon. Here's what I think about them (Don't worry, read on. Guaranteed spoiler free):First up is Hazel's Dra. Yap. You might be familiar already with Hazel's Callwork comic strips and by far this is one of her first forays out of the series (the first I believe, was a story from the Komikero Anthology). The cover explicitly says: 'A true story about a doctor who unknowingly joined Satanism' and that alone is enough to get somebody's attention. I should know, I was reeled in, hook line and sinker into buying this. And I was not disappointed. I'm pretty sure there would be people who would think twice on reading a story about Satanism, but once a reader gets past through that, Dra. Yap unfolds into a very real and solid eye-opening story. Hazel gave her signature autobiographical style out on this one, which will have anyone who will read the comic something to relate into. Also, despite the subtitle, there's none of the morbid stuff associated with comics containing one of the Devil's names here. Give this one a spin, trust me. "
