Aleth Dominique‘s Tala at Buwan is a short comic about a woman who experiences the memories of other people. It felt like there’s a bigger, more interesting story here and the additional content after the story proper suggests a lot of thought went into the planning. I’d be interested in seeing more of this comic, but I don’t think the brevity worked for it here. The art has some really strong moments, but it’s clear this is the work of an artist growing into potential.

Michael “Tala” Santos has the ability to see moments of someone else’s life. They flash before her eyes and leave as soon as they come. One may think she would love having that ability, but they could be no farther from the truth.
This ability was tolerable up until she moved back to the Philippines after years of living abroad, where she suddenly experienced more frequent flashes.
Tala’s dance competition is just around the corner, but she feels uneasy. Why is she feeling something reeling her in? Why are the flashes never ending? And most importantly, who is doing this?
