¡Despierta Y Lucha!
Ancient prophecies awaken and new heroes rise up in BattleMex, the world's first Aztec Super Sentai comic series. Written by David A. Rodriguez and gloriously illustrated by Stefano Simeone, this epic action series follows three young heroes, chosen by mystical nagual gems, to stand against the sinister and ancient entity known as El Cuco… the Boogeyman.
Where the adventure begins
Set in New Aztlán, an alternate version of Mexico that was never conquered, BattleMex leverages familiar anime tropes (tokusatsu, kaiju and magical transformation) and blends them with Mexican culture to bring a Hispanic-Futurist world to life.

The Heroes
Our three, young heroes were chosen by ancient nagual gems of power when they were just children. The gems allow the bearer to call on the abilities of their animal spirits and shapeshift into their unique guardian forms. They were trained in a secret government program called "Guardian Battleforce Mexica" by Eliza’s mother, as part of her relentless efforts to prepare for the coming battle.

I like telling this story because it sounds both boring and completely made up. However, it’s the truth. I was sitting at a table with my brother and we were talking about game ideas and we had drifted into luchadores because, obviously, we love them. So, at one point my brother said something like, "What if they were like in battle-mechs or something?" And I asked, "Did you say 'BattleMex' like M-E-X?" and he said "No. But that's AWESOME." --David Rodriguez
The Mission
We all deserve to see ourselves in our heroes. Thank you for joining us in New Aztlán for the beginning of our adventures!
