Maloles: The Reckoning Vol. 1 is a dark Filipino fantasy graphic novel that shatters tradition. Created by Filipina artist Ebony Soy, this powerful debut blends pre-colonial mythology, ancestral rituals, and psychological horror into a story of destruction and defiance. Maloles, a divine weapon born to serve the Underworld, chooses to destroy it instead. Set in a world inspired by Filipino spiritual beliefs—but not bound to folklore—this book dives deep into rage, identity, and the cost of choosing your own path. With bold black-and-white artwork and unflinching storytelling, Maloles is perfect for readers craving dark, original narratives that explore cultural roots and personal rebellion. Printed in the USA and published by Hot Tropiks Press, this is the first volume in a planned trilogy. For fans of Filipino comics, indie horror, and stories that challenge the norm, Maloles is a must-read.

Let customers speak for us
Very short and sweet story about the importance of apologizing and forgiveness to teach very early on as well as teaching simple phrases and names for family members in Tagalog
Powerful storytelling with beautiful art. Very happy with the work of Ebony Soy and the delivery by Hot Tropiks. Also loved the additional content in the Hot Tropiks release!

I love the quality of the graphics and the material for the t-shirt! You know it's not going to rip or fade!! My request is to bring back the Hard Mode T-Shirt! Missed the opportunity to get one!!! Thank you!
Above and beyond all expectations. Read it all in one sitting and couldn't put it down. Highly recommend! Plus there's a very fun bonus at the back of the book.
Thanks for bringing this product design to the US :)

I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.
Perfect gift for my chef nephew! So much cool stuff in general in the shop. Fast easy shipping too.
Excellent quality and very fast delivery.

Very good story pero a bit short. Could have benefited from a bit more backstory on the husband's motivations as well as following some of his actions.
