Aztek

Uno, a warrior trained his entire life by the secret Q Society to be the champion of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, arrives in Vanity City to prepare for a prophesied battle against the god Tezcatlipoca, armed with a powerful mystical suit of armor.

Born from the visionary partnership of Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, Aztek burst onto the DC scene in 1996 with a debut series that immediately signaled something different and ambitious about the Modern Age. This is a character who moves in rarefied company — sharing adventures with Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern's Kyle Rayner, and earning a place in the pages of JLA, Morrison's landmark team book that redefined DC's heaviest hitters. With at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Aztek rewards the dedicated hunter, and the tight, focused publication window of the late '90s gives the complete run a satisfying, self-contained quality that trade-readers and longbox divers alike appreciate. If you love that electric Morrison-era DC energy where cosmic stakes met sharp storytelling, Aztek is absolutely worth tracking down.
