Death is never the end of the story. Coroner Sam Castillo will learn this the hard way, when a supernatural serial killer targets her hometown just as she moves back. Day of the Dead Girl sees its collection out this week and you can exclusively read the first issue right here! The series is by A.J. Mendez and Aimee Garcia with art by Belén Culebras, and published by Magma Comix.
A skeptical woman of science, Sam butts heads with her spiritual mother Ana, a leader of a witch coven specializing in Brujeria. But when the coven’s Brujas start turning up murdered, Sam and Ana must work together to find the killer and save their town’s Day of the Dead festival from turning into an occult bloodbath. As if sharing a bathroom with her mom wasn’t hard enough.
Day of the Dead Girl collects the four issue series and best described as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The X-Files with a Latinx twist!
