Free Comic Book Day 2022 is just around the corner, and AWA Studios has revealed its first look at Primos, its offering for the big comic book celebration.
Primos is created by Al Madrigal and Carlo Barberi, and will be offered for free during Free Comic Book Day.
In PRIMOS, centuries ago, two Mayan brothers constructed a spacecraft that sent them hurtling into outer space. Returning to Earth only to find their culture and civilization destroyed, one of the brothers vows revenge and seeks to decimate the planet with intergalactic technology gathered on his travels. To prevent this, his sibling creates a contingency plan that activates the world’s protectors – descendants of their own Pascal family. Now, the fate of the planet lies in the hands of three cousins scattered throughout Central and North America who have never even met.
“My mission has always been and will continue to be trying to introduce more characters that look like me and people within my community,” said Axel Alonso, comic book creator and Chief Creative Officer of AWA Studios. “We’re at a pivotal moment in our history where creatives of all backgrounds can tell stories from the perspective of the underrepresented. I’m hopeful that FCBD will help introduce PRIMOS to new audiences and that these heroes will resonate with comics readers around the country.”
Free Comic Book Day takes place on May 7, 2022.
