Bago ang lahat, gusto kong ipaalam kung gaano ko kagusto ang pabalat ng aklat na ito. Glow in the dark! HWOOOOOOOH
Ito ay parang koneksyon sa kin ng cosmos, ipinagkaloob ng mga misteryo ng sansinukob. Rak en rol.

University setting pa rin, kasama ang mga bagong prof, mga grumadweyt, continuing, 'asa ka pa', 'buhay ka pa?' atsaka mga 'pariwarang tupa ng akademya'.
Nandito rin si Bertong Badtrip, Alpha Omega, at ang Mahiwagang Duwende.
Natawa ako sa lolang nagbibigay ng libo sa mga apo niya tawang tawa ako sa "ten po lola ten." 'NOOOOOOOOO!'
Spoiler: may mamamatay na minor charactersecret walang cluebeh! :p

Yung iba nabasa ko sa dyaryo, pero kelan ko ba ibinaba ang rating ko? :D

The tenth installment of Manix Abrera's Kikomachine Komix has never lost its flair to make my heart smile. Sanduguan ng Sangkalawakan may not be the best in the series but this certainly is a very memorable one for its fans. The comics started great, it has given me consistent laughs. Worth mentioning is the Banahaw arc. I believe it is the best in this volume. Oh Prof. Nilo Ocampo? Asteeg mehn. This volume's cover is by the way the best for me among the ten.

Sanduguan ng Sangkalawakan struggled in the middle part though. The punchlines felt a bit forced while other strips were too preachy and not funny at all. Even Bertong Badtrip's ever-gruesome but satisfying retribution to annoying people regressed to Bertong Badtrip being well, just badtrip. But it managed to redeem itself in the homestretch. The occult, classroom situations, gore, introverted behavior, and metaphysical banats are funny again!

Kikomachine Komix 10 has an unexpected touching moment. And wow that was tearfully memorable for me.

Astig pa rin ng jokes at may sense iyong pinagsasabi minsan. Thought-provoking at the same time, entertaining. Maganda ngang gawing concept ng isang istorya ’yong pagbangon sa libingan hanggang sa bumalik sa sinapupunan (nasa last page).

5 stars dahil first time kong magkaroon ng glow-in-the-dark na book :)

The tenth book of Manix never fails to deliver your everyday batch of weirdness deep-fried in hell’s armpits. Yes. It’s that good. And maybe socially relevant. If you consider popping eyeballs a norm.

as usual, astig! the cover design didn't disappoint too

[Christian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Classic Manix: still funny, still witty, still outlandishly (and out-of-this-world) hilarious.

[chimmy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ugh, may bago na akong paboritong volume ng kikomachine. Funny and at times heartbreaking 'tong 10.

GLOW IN THE DARK 'TONG LIBRO NA 'TO!!! Haha. Nagulat talaga ako. Minsan kase tinabi ko 'to sa pagtulog tapos naalimpungatan ako in the middle of the night--tapos natakot ako konti kase nag-give off ng greenish glow ang book na 'to. Kala ko sinapian ng Oracle, yung sa Percy Jackson wahahaha. Praning lang.

Anyway, Sir Manix never fail to make me laugh. Kahit drawing pa lang natatawa na ko. Tapos naalala ko tuloy yung intro niya sa Aklatan 2014. Nagpakilala siya ng dalawang bagong komikero ng Visprint. Grabe talaga. Tawa ko nang tawa sa ginawa niyang yun sobrang benta.

Ayun lang. Yung dalawa na lang na silent komix ang wala ako!

This volume helped me a lot in getting through most of my public commute life lately, and as expected that being left me laughing out loud on jokes I really found funny. With my beloved quirks, and characters on board, sorry not sorry people, you've got a weird one here. Last but not the least, its cover glows in the dark! I cannot even! Rakenrol!

ASTEEEG!

Unang beses kong makapagbasa ng gawa ni Manix Abrera. Laking gulat ko na sa mga unang tagpo pa lang, ay hagalpak na ko sa kakatawa!

Ngunit mas higit pa dito, ang ilan sa mga tagpo ay makabuluhan--usaping pangmasa, pangkatauhan, at pangkalawakan hahaha!

Pero ang nagpapanalo talaga sa libro nito ay...GLOW IN THE DARK ITO!!!

Another hilarious compilation from my favorite comic strips.

[Marc Angelo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Glow in the daaaaaaaaaark.

[Cez Prieto · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sa ika sampung komiks na nailathala ni Manix Abrera ay napanatili pa rin niya ang orihinal na konsepto nito. Nandun pa rin at tawa, drama, ideya, atbp.

[Amiel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ang breathtaking lang nung ibang ideas.

[Leanza · Rating 4 out of 5]

Awesome collection as always! Also, I've owned this book for more than a year and only found out today that the cover GLOWS IN THE DARK. Asteeg!

[Rain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rak-en-rol! Asteeg! Hardcore!
Unang beses ko pa lang nabasa 'tong comics at natuwa ako. Irerekomenda ko ito sa mga estudyante at guro ng kolehiyo dahil masmakaka-connect sila sa inilalaman nito.
