BALIKBAYAN: The Return #1 - A Filipino Horror Comic

HEREDITARY meets THE WAILING when Ben and his father return to The Philippines to confront the spirit cursing their family.

This book has been a real labour of love, rooted in the culture and stories handed down to me from my family and my own experiences growing up as a first generation immigrant. I hope you'll enjoy a little piece of my homeland in all its terrifying, weird and wonderful glory.

And while we're talking about Oscars snubs where's the love for Teyana Taylor, a knockout performance that deserves way more recognition.

It's framing premise, but really that's it's only misstep. Jeffrey Wright should be nominated for an Oscar and I'd say he's a real dark horse to win.
