The cliched superhero moments are forgiveable because of the smooth execution and often hilarious ways they are seen in the panels. It is good that the main antagonist after this prologue volume is still more shrouded than exposed, and I can't wait to see how this group is connected with Mang Tino's discovery of his own superhuman strength. At least the cliffhanger end provided promising fates for these two supporting characters. ![]() Worse, it took toll on Tino's character in a sense that the lack of character depth can make one feel that the main hero could be just anyone. While the panels with his wife Aura felt sincere and while Tino's conversations with the trusty tanod are entertaining enough to make you smile, their monotonic roles bored me. This can be mainly attributed to the lack of character depth. But the main thesis of "what can an old superman do" seemed to be underutilized throughout the story. This four issue collected edition chronicles Tino's initial adventures interspersed with his daily responsibilities as a caring husband.Īn old man who can singlehandedly throw trucks? Awesome idea. Sixty-six volume 1 gives a proper and grounded introduction to the protagonist, Mang Tino, who in his old age has mysteriously acquired superhuman strength. ![]()
