Description:
In the heart of Cebu, an ancient power awakens...
Seventeen-year-old Marisol Reyes is in need of a do-over. After getting kicked out of one too many schools for strange and unsettling behavior, Mari's overbearing mother sends her to the Philippines for a fresh start. The promise of a normal life is dashed, however, when Mari attends her recently deceased Lola Talia's wake. For it's there she discovers a mysterious wooden mask that unlocks frightening visions...and terrifying abilities.
So begins The Mask of Haliya: Heir to the Warrior Moon, where Mari must forge new allies and battle new foes, all while finding her place in a world on the brink of darkness.
...The Mask has chosen its new heir.
Review Quotes: "I can't think of a better release for Filipino American History Month than The Mask of Haliya from the pioneering Filipino-American comic book publisher Kwento Comics. The graphic novel centers around Marisol and her newfound abilities, exploring the challenges of dealing with her ancestors and the responsibilities thrust upon her. The Mask of Haliya fearlessly makes connections to real-life situations that many second-generation children can relate to. That's why we at The Beat can't recommend this enough."--COMICS BEAT
