Rappler: 8 Thrilling Books by Filipino Authors

-


"Macoy and Ardie Aquino stage the crisis with crisp, kinetic panels and a gallows humor that feels true to how we tell stories after disasters. The pace is merciless: decisions in seconds, consequences in frames. You’ll swear you’re “just reading one more page” and then realize you’ve been holding your breath for twenty."

school run character survival poll!

so here's the thing: when i started working on school run, i had it in mind to keep with zombie flick tradition. that is, to start with a group (in this case, of grade-school kids) and then kill them off one by one in horrible and entertaining ways until the sun sets on (or a rescue chopper comes for, whatever) a lone survivor at the end. and i specifically wanted the protagonists to be kids, because kids vs. zombies is something i haven't seen before. but when i told people about my plans i'd get these shocked reactions--i couldn't possibly do that. how could i do that? apparently you just don't feed kids to bloodthirsty mutant hordes, not even fictional cartoon kids that don't exist. and so i am putting things to a vote. if enough people vote to save the kids they get a reprieve. you won't get to vote for or against individual characters, just how many survive. the poll will be on the sidebar of this blog until the end of june. vote now people, the lives ...
