It all began with a deceptively simple question, posed by Gerry Alanguilan over the phone on a Sunday morning: What if Superman had to deal with the Apocalypse?

I was then asked if I thought there was a story in there, and if I wanted to write it.

Hell. Yeah.

----David Hontiveros

The premise of Bathala is that there is only ONE Superhero in the world, and he's from the Philippines. His name is Bathala (the name for the supreme god of the sky), a Superman-esque hero of the world who speeds to every crisis he hears. (and just fair warning, he's pretty much Superman in every way... except in the people he's surrounded by)


And, as mister Dave said... The Apocalypse

This post is focused on Bathala's brother, Leonardo.

Dreams of a brother-super-team-up, gone in one moment... )

Some comics embrace the highest ideals of the superhero genre.

Others take them apart, showing their flaws and mundanity.

Witch Doctor, from Robert Kirkman's Skybound imprint of Image Comics, is neither of those things.

It's the tale of Vincent Morrow, MD, the Sorcerer General of the Earth dimension, treating supernatural infestations with the tools of magic and the methods of medicine.

And it's bloody hilarious (pun intended).

As a sample, I've chosen this bit from the second issue, as Morrow & his new intern have to deal with an epidemic of faerie changelings.

What do you do with any evil baby? )

If you are tired of Big Two hype, and want an entertaining read, you could do worse than Witch Doctor.
