The second volume of Skyworld has a different theme from the best. Apocrypha was more mythological, a retelling of the fall from paradise, but it was not only man that fell, a god joined, bitten by a serpent.
Testament was a retelling of significant historical event, the Battle of Mactan, which revealed hidden history. It amped up that intensity, which had Lapu-lapu and a host of mystical creatures slaughtering Ferdinand Magellan’s raiding party of Spaniards.
It segues into the present day, as events are conspiring to bring forth a new dark age. This is helped by the art, as it is inked with bold blacks, unlike the tight pencils of the first volume, gives this work an edgier feel.

Mervin Ignacio and Ian Sta.Maria have created in Skyworld what I think is the most promising re-interpretation of Filipino myths since Mythology Class. Calling film production outfits! Once the seriesis complete, this work definitely deserves to be adapted as a movie!
