Last Saturday's 6th annual KOMIKON saw the debut of Omi Remalante Jr.'s TALIM - a knife wielding vigilante haunted by the memories of a dead girl that ironically he can't remember. Written by fan favorite RH Quilantang, the issue gives us a glimpse into the mind of a brutal and probably unstable vigilante and his one man campaign for answers and vengeance. The issue shows us there are no shades of gray. There is only black and white. But where does our hero stand?I like the pacing of this book. How we get to first see Talim as a normal person watching TV before we dive into the the actual action. I like how the flashback and narration during the action was handled. It didn't feel forced. In fact, it just cements the idea that this guy is really out of his mind. Omi Remalante handles the art chores for his creation. His cool use of shadows make the action a little more gritty. His style is the perfect fit for this dark tale.
