What if there was only one superhuman in the whole world? What if the world was about to end as predicted in the Book of Revelation? What can one superman do to hold back the hand of the Almighty?
Writer David Hontiveros and artist Ace Enriquez give us "Bathala: Apokalypsis", a seven-issue comic book series presented in ecomic format by Flipside.
In Chapter 1: Dreadful Horrors and Vengeances, we are transported back to a 1999 that never quite happened, and introduced to the world of Andrew Carreon, reporter and, secretly, the mighty superhero Bathala.
It is a world where Andrew’s twin brother, Leonardo, is about to have his personality digitally mapped; a world where Bathala’s greatest enemy, Harold Hernandez, is about to strike a great blow against the planet’s champion.
It is a world wracked by disaster and war and pre-millennial tension, whose gallant defender must now face his greatest challenge: a global catastrophe prophesied two thousand years ago.
