La Muerta Descent #1F (Coffin Comics 2016) Ortiz Incentive Variant (1:25)
La Muerta Descent #1F (Ortiz Incentive Variant) from Coffin Comics (2016) delivers a brutal, emotionally charged vigilante tale set against the vibrantly deadly backdrop of Dia de los Muertos. It follows Maria Diaz, a US soldier returning home from Afghanistan who reunites with family during a Dia de los Muertos celebration only to face a blood-soaked betrayal.
When Maria discovers her brother has fallen in with The Zavalas, a death-worshipping crime cartel led by the ruthless Mama Z, tragedy erupts in a hail of gunfire that leaves the entire family murdered. Waking eight months later from a coma, Maria confronts a brutal question: can a single woman topple a cartel—and what will it cost her humanity in the process? This is a dark, action-driven pursuit of justice that blends hard-edged crime drama with mythic, skull-strewn imagery characteristic of the La Muerta universe.
