Narito na ang pinakahihintay na print version ng patok na web komik ni Mervin Malonzo!

Tabi-tabi po.

Isang lalake ang bigla na lamang nagising sa loob ng isang puno sa gitna ng kagubatan na walang alaala kung sino siya at saan siya nagmula.  Ang tanging alaala lang niya ay isang imahe ng babae na nakikita niya sa kanyang panaginip, at ang tanging nararamdaman niya ay isang matinding gutom na mabilis na namumuo sa kanyang walang pusod na sikmura. Isang gutom na mapapawi lamang ng laman…at dugo.

SEROKS Iteration 2: Once In A Lifetime

written by David Hontiveros

Illustrations and design by:  Alan Navarra

ISBN:  971-05453-3-7

Filipiniana, Ilustrated novel

Suggested Retail Price:  P225.00

In this second SEROKS Iteration, we return to the dystopic future world that Iteration I: Mirror Man introduced us to. 

We meet two more of the 8 seroks of the world’s first superhero, Paladin, engineered from the DNA of popular yesteryear movie star-slash-discgraced ex-Philippine President Frederico Rubio. And we find out more about the ones we’ve already met. 

Plus there’s also the world’s second superhero, Paladin Jr., an enhanced clone of the tragically deceased movie star Taylor Kon, who’s teamed-up with the first Paladin. 

All that, and the rest of our SEROKS cast—Originals, Templates, or dupes—who are joined by some new faces, some familiar-looking, some not, and some, not even human.

Seroks, Iteration 1: Mirror Man, is the first in a series of short fiction collections set in the dystopic future world which was first seen in the Palanca Award-winning short story "Kaming Mga Seroks” by David Hontiveros.

In this Iteration, paired with the singular artistic sensibilities of Alan Navarra, Hontiveros continues to explore this clone-littered world where everything is a commodity, and everything can be pirated, even people.  A world where the truth is ugly and a fake can be a hero.
