Trese Vol. 5: Midnight Tribunal

Page 1

In a city where the aswang control everything that is illegal and where ancient gods seek to control everything else, enforcing the law can be a very difficult task.

When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police normally call Alexandra Trese.

Lately, it seems like others have been taking that call.

A mysterious racer has been breaking the speed limit, running after and capturing criminals.

A masked giant has been demolishing drug dens and breaking up gangs.

Trese must confront these supernatural crime-fighters and bring order back to the city, before the underworld attempts to seek balance in its own way.

“I feel like you and all the smart Filipino writers and artists out there are doing something really brave and powerful, making a whole new wave of Filipino art and story. Well done!” —NEIL GAIMAN
If you know nothing about Filipino horror and the monsters that lurk within, this is the place to start. —BOOK RIOT
“The unconventional monster art and moody, action-packed narratives make this horror-crime series a must-follow for any aficionado of the macabre.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Trese adds new life to the supernatural genre” —SYFY WIRE
“All in all, TRESE is a remarkable comic that’s as unique and well written as it is beautiful. It gave me that feeling of childlike wonder of discovering new folklore—all which I am ecstatic to dive deeper into.”—GRIMOIRE OF HORROR
