A new Latinx superhero universe is on the way from ChispaComics muchomasmedia ScoutComics
A new superhero universe is in the works, featuring Latinx characters and creatives behind the scenes. The publisher behind creator-owned series like Commander Rao, Charm City, She Bites , and Eternus from Andy Serkis and Andrew Levitas, is teaming with Chispa Comics and multimedia company Mucho Mas Media to launch a Latinx-focused shared universe. Most comics fans are familiar with the shared universes from Marvel and DC, but they are primarily filled with white characters.
Super-powered humans in this universe are referred to as"chispas" , a term that reflects a Latinx perspective on heroism. They arise from inside, not outside the community. They don't fight evil just as vigilantes or powerful police but as defenders of their people against the systems that foment crime, evil, and injustice. Doing so, they inspire others, sparking a fire in the hearts of common people to work together in solidarity to effect real change in the world.
"What makes these heroes unique is not just their ethnicity, but the fact that their powers emerge from their Mesoamerican day signs. In other words, there's a cultural and spiritual element to these mutations that is specific to their Indigenous heritage," explained co-publisher David Bowles, an award-winning Chicano author, translator, and college literature professor.
