Trese


[TRESE: OUR SECRET CONSTELLATION is...] the best work yet from Alamat founder Tan, this moody mini-comic series starts out smart and gets even smarter.
Investigator Alexandra Trese, holder of the supernatural secrets of the city as passed down from her grandfather, helps the local cops by tracking down the magical misdeeds with the help of her wickedly cool bodyguards, adroitly furnished by Baldisimo. The previous issues dealt with catchy ideas like tikbalang in a drag race, but this superlative issues, grisly murders lead to an unexpected interpretation of an iconic figure.
