Latina Superheroes introduces us to Jalisco and Santa, two remarkable figures in an exciting new graphic novel series. Jalisco is searching for her beloved mother, who has mysteriously disappeared, while Santa is determined to take down the corrupt politicians threatening her hometown.

This groundbreaking young adult series illuminates the struggles and triumphs of Latina women, weaving together themes of identity, resilience, and unity. Join these extraordinary heroines as they defy the odds, harnessing their inner strength to forge a brighter tomorrow.

Jalisco is a spirited girl from the outskirts of Guadalajara whose life is shattered when her mother goes missing. Brushed off by authorities, Jalisco's quest for truth leads her to the Adelitas, a clandestine group battling the sinister forces behind the femicides plaguing their community. Determined to uncover her mother's fate, Jalisco embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, guided by the unwavering strength of sisterhood.

Meanwhile, Santa resides in Wexo, a town on the Texan/Mexican border. As upcoming elections threaten to put a corrupt politician, Ilena Chavez-Estevez, also known as ICE, in power, Santa joins the opposing candidate's campaign to fight back. As racial tensions rise and citizens of Wexo begin to disappear, Santa must raid the detention camps and take down ICE.

Join Jalisco and Santa on their riveting journeys of courage, resilience, and justice in these two stories from Latina Superheroes, the groundbreaking new young adult full-colour graphic novel series.
