Comadres y Comics Podcast

Please remember to rate and review our podcast!Check out your YouTube channel @comadresycomics Welcome to another episode of Las Platicas, a show hosted by Comadres y Comics, where we meet with creators and friends to talk about upcoming projects, events and all around awesome news in the comic community. We've had the pleasure of talking with Javier Hernandez over the years, and every conversation reminds us why he's been such an important voice in independent comics. Through stories rooted in Latino culture, history, and mythology, Javier has spent decades creating characters and worlds that reflect communities too often left out of the mainstream.Now he's back with a Kickstarter campaign that expands upon the El Muerto legacy with Man from Mictlan #2, the next chapter in his action-packed series inspired by Mexican mythology. Today, we talk with Javier about where the story goes next, what readers can expect from the campaign, and why independent, culturally authentic storytelling continues to matter in today's comics landscape. Welcome, Javier!@javierloscomex @LOSCOMEXTVwww.loscomex.storenvy.comFollow us on socials @comadresycomics Visit our website comadresycomics.comProduced by Comadres y Comics Podcast
