Latina Superheroes Volume 2 is back with even more inspiring action! Follow Loquita, a girl from Miami, Florida, who immerses herself in the supernatural realm to figure out why a mysterious ghost is following her, and Ruca, a tough girl in East L.A. fighting against human traffickers. Together these women comprise two of five amazing Latina superheroes known as A La Brava—strong young adults who fight for justice and equality in their communities.
Loquita is just an ordinary girl. But one day she starts to see things that other people can’t and she realizes that she has an extraordinary power. Ruca, who first appeared in Santa’s story, is a tough girl. When she goes back to East L.A. after her mother’s death, she’s told about neighborhood kids going missing. She’ll have to tap into her newfound powers to find out who is taking these children and make them stop.
For fans of Marvel Comic’s Echo, Latina Superheroes illuminates the struggles and triumphs of Latina women, weaving together themes of identity, resilience, and unity. Join these extraordinary heroines as they defy the odds, harnessing their inner strength to forge a brighter tomorrow in this new young adult graphic novel series.
