After uncovering a life-changing family secret in her mother’s attic, a rebellious teen embarks on a high-octane road trip to confront the truth about her past that may define her very future.
In the sprawling chaos of Dark Meat City, seventeen-year-old Guadalupe “Guada” Mayflower is just trying to survive the mundane misery of school bullies and social media scandals. But when an explosive, caught-on-camera outburst lands her under house arrest, she starts digging through her mother’s attic and unearths a diary that shatters everything she thought she knew about her family, including the true identity of her infamous father.
Guada soon finds herself on a dangerous road trip through the city’s criminal underbelly. From legendary luchadores to ruthless underworld figures, she must navigate a world of violence and long-buried secrets to confront her past. For Guada, the search for the truth is no longer just a history lesson… it’s a desperate race to find her own future.
The MFKZ Universe returns in an odyssey of self-discovery through the chaotic underworld of Label 619.
From the hyperactive imagination of Run (MFKZ) and Guillaume Singelin (PTSD, Frontier) comes a ball-busting character narrative that not only expands the world introduced in MFKZ, but tears it open to expose a beating, human heart. Filled with Run’s signature combination of pulp-inspired grunge and Singelin’s unique brand of cinematic, evocative illustration, LOBA LOCA is a ride you’ll want to go on again and again.
Loba Loca separates itself from the exaggerated, often bizarre world of Dark Meat City and it’s conspiracy-filled environment by focusing on the grounded, universal character-driven drama of teenage alienation and the search for identity amidst a surreal, oppressive urban backdrop. The narrative explores the weight of inherited trauma and the weight the past can impose on the present. By balancing quiet introspection with moments of sudden, urgent intensity, Guada is forced to reconcile who she was told to be with who she really is.
The merging of styles between Run and Singelin turns the road trip trope on its head. Traveling between claustrophobia and freedom, the story moves beyond franchise lore to offer a resonant experience about reclaiming one’s life from the burden of long-buried secrets.
It’s gritty Scott Pilgrim meets The Professional in an Into the Spider-Verse world.
