After Lambana (A Filipino Comic Book Recommendation)

 Hey everybody!

So a few months ago, I received a lot of comic book recommendations from a close friend of mine and we have so much fun time reading them all. 

They were all good and worth remembering but one comic book I came to love is called ‘After Lambana’ by Eliza Victoria and Mervin Malonzo. 

So what makes ‘After Lambana’ interesting?

The plot dwelves around the events that happened after the realm of diwatas (fairies) have fallen due to the Magic Prohibition Act being signed by the government. Conrad is suffering a heart condition that human medicine can’t cure so his friend named Ignacio helped him find the cure through illegal means- by using magical cures from the fairies.

But it is not only the enchanted cure we are talking about here, Conrad is bound to uncover secrets only a few people know about. Secrets that will change his life forever.

Its amazing how a few hours or a night can change a person’s life and this comic book was able to portray it properly and with such colorful art style. 

For everybody who wants to check it out, feel free to check out the art from Mervin Malonzo’s website:

 or a preview from Studio Salimbal website:

Trust me guys, you won’t be disappointed on reading this one and these wonderful artists deserve so much recognition. 

Thank God for After Lambana.

P.S. Check their other works too! You will love it!

[165] Trese: Bloodlines Vol 1 by @budjette tan and @kajobaldisimo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finally purchased this after holding back for so long and sakto, release ng Trese on Netflix. Sabi ko kasi na ang dami ko pang libro na kailangan basahin, pero naalala ko na komiks to, technically, hindi siya libro, kaya okay lang na bilhin ko na. Hahaha. Excited to read more on the Trese Universe. 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having read almost all the Trese komiks (except Trese 7 and this one) I am so happy to see Trese as an animation. Hopefully, other komiks and books can be adapted to animation or even as a television series.🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to read more books on Philippines Myths and Creatures, or just wanting to read books or komiks, I suggest: 1. Tabi Po Trilogy ni @mervinmalonzoart 2. Janus Silang book series ni @ecsamar 3. Mga Nilalang na Kagila-gilalas ni @ecsamar 4. Ella Arcangel nina @zekemachine at @mervinmalonzoart 5. Mythology Class ni @arnoldarre 6. The Children of Bathala ni @arnoldarre 7. Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat ni @arnoldarre 8. After Lambana nina @elizawritesanywhere at @mervinmalonzoart Also, you can watch Ella Arcangel: Oyayi sa Dilim on Youtube. Animated by @mervinmalonzoart ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you watched Trese on Netflix? What are your comments?😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #365leo2021 #Trese #TreseBloodlines #TreseOnNetflix #BudjetteTan #KajoBaldisimo #TabiPo #TabiPoTrilogy #MervinMalonzo #JanusSilang #EdgarCalabiaSamar #MgaNilalangNaKagilagilalas #EllaArcangel #JuliusVillanueva #MythologyClass #TheChildrenOfBathala #AngMundoNiAndongAgimat #ArnoldArre #AfterLambana #ElizaVictoria #ISupportFilipinoAuthors #ISupportFilipinoArtists #Book #Bookworm #Komiks #Comics https://www.instagram.com/p/CQGZlYBLI_Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

QOTD: Who's your favorite local author? In the past two years, I decided I should read more local works. One of the authors I found was @elizawritesanywhere Eliza Victoria. I read Wounded Little Gods two years ago and oh my gosh, did I love it. My friend told me about A Bottle of Storm Clouds but it was only very recently that I found a copy of it. After that I actively sought out her work. She's like the Filipino equivalent of Neil Gaiman, my autobuy author. After that I fell in love with more awesome Filipino writers and am now exploring local literature. #bookstagramph #bookstagrammerph #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookblog #booksofinstagram #bookworm #booklover #booklove #booktography #bookflatlay #bookaddiction #bookstagrammer  #booknerd  #beatthealgorithm #readersofig #igreads #alwaysreading #flatlay #booksofig #bookaesthetic #elizavictoria #abottleofstormcloudsstories #project17 #woundedlittlegods https://www.instagram.com/p/B_r98Qbgs7q/?igshid=aubk4m0gp5rj

Reading is more special when partnered with good music. Both girls don't fail on giving me pleasurable minutes. I could say that Jessie Ware's album Devotion is one of my great finds in recent years. A gem discovered: "Holding on forever to keep you To keep from slipping too deep If you want to escape you don't need to Just look for me I'm taking in water for you, my love For you I'll take the blue away I'm taking water my breath I'll remember I'm taking water for you..." Meanwhile, Eliza Victoria continues on surprising me with her imaginative stories. A good read. (When I say GOOD, I don't mean inspirationals. I mean real GOOD READ--something that makes my emotions leap from one kind to another. Not a waste of time. Nor of words.) #JessieWare #Devotion #TakingInWater #ElizaVictoria #Dwellers #music #soul #electronic #pop #arts #literary #literature #books #WhatITalkAboutWhenITalkAboutMusic #WhatITalkAboutWhenITalkAboutBooks #suspense #crime #mystery #horror #speculativefiction

Didn't stay too long at #komikon but I did get my books signed. #elizavictoria

"Spirits used to roam the town of Heridos, and then suddenly they didn't." • I forgot who told me this was horror and that was why it took me so long to get to this, but UGH, it isn't scary at all. There are creepy parts, I give you that, but I had been so engrossed with the story (which is more fantasy and mystery genre) that I didn't really mind the gruesome bits. I just wanted to get to the bottom of it all like Regina. • "Who are you to prescribe what is good and what is bad for the world? If you write the criteria, where do you start and where do you stop?" • The strength of this book is its compelling narrative and use of Philippine Mythology in a contemporary setting The first half didn't reveal much magic and fantasy, more mystery/suspense, and I loved that there were history and science parts that flavored the plot all throughout. Then the second half amps up the fascination and adds even more layers to the already well-rounded characters. • "Clothed with a body, the first thing that hits you is longing . . . We wanted so much, and it was puzzling and painful . . . We had never longed before." • I liked that the fictional town of Heridos was deeply rooted in real places, especially in Bulacan (since I'm now here and I'm familiar with a lot of the places mentioned!), and how it accurately captured the familiar aspects of growing up in a probinsya. I liked this so much and I shouldn't have waited so long to read it! 5⭐️s! • "And it was so because in that brief moment we were gods, and whatever we said came to life." • Wounded Little Gods by Eliza Victoria . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #bookishfeature #bookcommunity #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #IGreads #WoundedLittleGods #ElizaVictoria #fantasy #Heridos #PhilMyth #readlocalPH #diversebooks #diversereads (at Meycauayan, Bulacan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpbeu6dFRIN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3icdpmyr53lw
