The New DI-13 #2 | Deep Into Black Dragon

05.17.2019 – The New DI-13 Series is heading to its sophomore issue in slowly taking shape what could be an underrated revival of one of the best locally produced series in Philippine Komiks. Currently, the local scene is more popular nowadays with the supernatural Filipino folklore. But when it comes to crime, espionage, and political thriller this genre is solely more popular with internationally published works such as Velvet by Ed Brubaker or his run with Captain America that featured Bucky’s return as Winter Soldier for Marvel. Although these popular themes have continue to make an interesting read this part of the Philippines has not forgotten that before Aswangs and Manananggals there was DI-13 or Department of Investigation that made concept an interesting even before James Bond was a household name more than seventy years ago. The second issue is divided between flashbacks and modern times where the second Agent 13, the grandson of the original is in search of his long lost grandfather.
