Astro & Inez: La Novela

In the single-issue debut Astro & Inez: La Novela (2023, Comics Experience Publishing), the series introduces a Latinx-themed story blending romance and science fiction. While only one issue has been published so far, the creative team behind this independent comic explores a unique narrative premise that stands out for its cultural specificity within the genre. The title's bilingual wordplay—novela meaning both "novel" and "soap opera"—hints at the melodramatic, character-driven tone the series aims to establish.
