What
People Are Saying About 'The Mythology Class
(Dec
16, 1999 - www.inquirer.net)
Arguably one of the best
offerings in the local comic book world. It is the impact of (The Mythology
Class) on the personal level that gets to me. For me, that is what this comic
book does: it is a jot to read, and an affirmation that we don't have to look
elsewhere for a good not-just-for-kids comics book. --Richard Ramos, localvibe.com
High marks for the 'The
Mythology Class'! Instead of alluding to overused characters of Western lore,
(Arnold Arre) draws from the deep wells of our very own Philippine mythology.--Natalia Diaz, Philippine Daily
Inquirer, www.inquirer.net
There's a part of my
mind that's more and more convinced that there are most definitely other worlds
that exist along with ours. A dream world. A spirit world. A world of engkatos
and magical beings. It is in this spirit that I've picked up "the Mythology
Class". Arnold speaks as if he is talking of creatures and people he
knows.--Karen
Kunawicz, Mirror Magazine
What makes (Arnold Arre)
different from his comic book contemporaries is (his) focus. In a genre
populated by Western-style characters with supernatural powers who talk with a
Brooklyn slang, Arre exercises his freedom of choice by making use of our
homegrown myth and legends. If only for the audacity to weave GenX with the
elements of Philippine myths and legends, the man and his work deserve significant
notice. --Lourd
Ernest de Veyra, FLY Magazine
The Mythology Class
moves with the delicacy of a classic fantasy story... Arnold Arre has invited
the myths to inhabit our contemporary, technologically burgeoning world. .
.After reading the book, you, hopefully, won't cross the empty darkened spaces
of our tropical land with the same whimsical ease. See you in class."--Karl de Mesa, The Manila Times,
