First Look: Heavy Metal’s VIRUS imprint Announces the Release of Graphic Novel MUNDO DIABLO
Heavy Metal’s VIRUS imprint is proud to announce the release of Mundo Diablo #1 (written by F.G. Haghenbeck and Homero Rios), which is available now for purchase through the VIRUS shop at heavymetal.com. The title is a spin-off of the hit series for Netflix called Diablero, which is based on the international prose bestseller El Diablo Me Obligó. This is the first official US release for the title.
Synopsis:
Mundo Diablo imagines a world where the Spanish Conquerors who arrived on our continent didn’t just bring their swords and gunpowder, they also brought their demons and armed angels. The Naguals, powerful sorcerers of the New World, fought against the forces of Saint Michael and the invaders. Those Naguals who hunt angels were called Angeleros and those who hunt demons, Diableros. These are the stories of Elvis Infante, the most famous Diablero of all.
“A quasi noir setting where angels, demons, and in general Judeo-Christian mythology combined with pre-Hispanic creatures such as the powerful naguals, sorcerers who can adopt the form of animals,” says co-writer Homero Rios. He adds “Mundo Diablo is a very good example of the scope of the Latin American magical realism and what it has to offer for the contemporary reader.”
