Our baby is about to start solids and this is the perfect board book to introduce Tagalog adjectives for flavor to her! The illustrations are so cute!

It’s a short book but the story has you wanting to keep reading. The characters are well written and the story is easy to follow. Can’t wait for more to come out.

We love this bag! The fabric is sturdy, the design is clean, and it can hold more than 15 picture books!

Fantastic book! A must read. If you love comics and Filipino literature, this belongs in your bookshelf.

The first two and the very last story didn't really do anything for me, but I liked everything else. My favorites were Cosplaya' Hata' and Present. One is about a cosplayer who runs into his former bully, and the other is about two coworkers talking and reminiscing while outside a Christmas party. It's really great to see these moments in the characters' lives, and to see what the creators were able to accomplish within so few pages.

This is the first book I read in Tagalog! I had to read it out loud to myself to understand, but I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to read Tagalog but only understands it in conversation. I love the art and found the story super fun. I highly recommend, and I hope the store gets more Super Proxies soon! Salamat for including Filipino language komiks!
