BREWED COFFEE DILEMMA by NOEL CERVANTES
The art here is solid enough with proper inks and actual black areas that make it pop out. The comic starts strong both art-wise and story-wise even if it does follow the same route of directly chronicling (is there such a word?) a guy's journey in completing his 24 hour comic book challenge symbolized by a superhero in cape and tights flying around the Philippines witnessing the various traits that Filipinos are known for. However, it is revealed that it's all a dream and the guy wakes up to hurriedly finish his entry. If it weren't for the short comings in story and the obvious cheat pages starting from page 17 right till the end I would have wholeheartedly recommended this for the Top 10. As it stands however, it feels as if this entry is just 16 to 18 pages long. It tries to pull itself together right at the end by bouncing the question Bakit Astig Ang Pinoy? back to the readers but by this time it's all too late. The art is solid enough but the story does fall short.
Rating: 2.25 / 5
I'm sorry but I can't let several pages with just a drawing of a sheet of paper slide. But maybe others might be more forgiving.
