El Azote

A four-issue horror-comedy series from Unrated Comics, El Azote (2024–present) follows a monstrous, seemingly invincible hitman on a bloody rampage through a Mexican border town. The series is notable for its darkly humorous take on cartel violence and supernatural horror, blending over-the-top gore with a grimly satirical tone. Created by a team of rising indie talents, it stands out for its unflinching, grindhouse-inspired aesthetic within the small-press horror landscape.
