I have to constantly remind myself that Rosdki Patotski Ang Dalagang Baby is created by Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre. Alanguilan and Arre. Alanguilan and Arre. 
 The problem with Rodski Patotski is that Rodski is portrayed to be way too intelligent that everybody around her looks dumb and one-dimensional - her parents, the villagers, Dindo and the Philippine Army. Even Rodski's pure English dialogues feel pretentious and shallow. Moreover, you don't give the subtitle "Ang Dalagang Baby" then sprinkle the content with Rodski doing sexually suggestive poses. That doesn't feel right. 
 The graphic novel touches on so many genres but never really went deep with one. Worse, the ones which are brought in the story are mostly genre cliches! It begins with a supernatural foreboding. The middle part is a disjointed mess of family drama, political drama (god I hate this China vs. RP thing), sci-fi and romance. In the finale, after Rodski becomes Lara Croft our story ends, of course, with a happily ever after. Anong nangyari kay Sir Gerry A? He is the man I looked up to and respected after reading his Elmer, Wasted, Bold Stars and Sim. Anong nangyari kay Sir A na nagbigay buhay muli sa El Indio ni National Artist Francisco V. Coching? 
 Although the colors and details are to be commended, Arre's drawing on facial expresions is reduced to frown, fear and angriness. His previous works, though in black and white, teem with emotions! Nasaan na yun? We are dying to get reprints from AA's graphic novels, but what we get is this. 
 Rodski Patotski Ang Dalagang Baby sure has an entertainment factor embedded in its pages, but coming from respected authors, this is a big letdown. Change and having fun is perfectly fine, but at least make it the right kind of change and fun.
