Magma Comix announced the October 2024 release of Day of the Dead Girl #1 by AJ Mendez, Aimee Garcia, and Belen Culebras.
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. 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.
“Growing up, I didn’t see comics that reflected my Mexican heritage, so I’m thrilled to create Day of the Dead Girl with AJ and spotlight our rich Latino culture to readers,” said Aimee Garcia. “Not only will Belén Culebras’ stunning visuals thrust readers into the midst of a joyful Day of the Dead celebration, but this story will cut to the core of what binds us all together … death.”
Day of the Dead Girl #1 arrives on October 9, 2024, with a $3.99 cover price.
