In partnership with France’s Label 619, Oni Press and Magnetic Press have announced the Kickstarter campaign for LOBA LOCA, a new graphic novel set in the MFKZ Universe from internationally acclaimed creators Run and Guillaume Singelin. With Luchadores, lunatics, and long-buried secrets lurking around every corner, LOBA LOCA is a high-octane odyssey of self-discovery. Fans can support the graphic novel on Kickstarter now.
Rebellious seventeen-year-old Guadalupe “Guada” Mayflower is just trying to survive the mundane misery of school bullies and social media scandals. But when an explosive, caught-on-camera outburst lands her under house arrest, she starts digging through her mother’s attic and unearths a diary that shatters everything she thought she knew about her family, including the true identity of her infamous father. Guada soon finds herself on a dangerous road trip through the city’s criminal underbelly. From legendary luchadores to ruthless underworld figures and reality show stars, she must navigate a world of violence to confront her past and define her future.
Spinning out of Guillaume “Run” Renard’s 2002 short film “Mutafukaz: Operation Blackhead,” MFKZ has grown into the hit Netflix film from Studio 4C directed by Shôjirô Nishimi and Renard and starring English language voice actors Vince Staples, Kenn Michael, Giancarlo Esposito, Danny Trejo, and RZA as well as a groundbreaking graphic novel series. Now Run is teaming up with renowned animator and cartoonist Guillaume Singelin to return to the fan-favorite MFKZ Universe and expand it with a one-of-a-kind road trip in LOBA LOCA.
In addition to the softcover edition of LOBA LOCA, Magnetic Press is also producing a Deluxe Hardcover and a Limited Edition Slipcase Edition, which will feature a foil-stamped textured slipcase, foil-stamped bookplate, and an exclusive set of enamel pins.
