What if the next great superhero universe didn’t rise from New York, Tokyo, or ‘Wakanda’, but from the volcanic soil of El Salvador?
Los Volcans launches today as an 8-issue comic saga, the foundation of an entire universe born from ash, memory, and myth. It is more than entertainment; it is a cultural mirror and a call to imagination.
At its core are five heroes forged in fire and community:
El Visionario, the reluctant leader who channels magma and memory.
La Guardiana, a shield-bearer who protects both people and land.
El Enforcer, a scarred veteran who learns to turn strength into healing.
El Jurista, the lawyer who binds lies with luminous chains of justice.
La Embajadora, a diplomat whose empathy becomes her power.
Their enemies are not faceless aliens but the shadows we know: corruption, gangs, exploitation, and the seductive promises of quick fixes. Folklore comes alive - Cipitío throwing riddles, the twin Cadejos guiding or corrupting, the Siguanaba whispering lies - making every battle also a moral test.
Each issue ends not with destruction, but with a lesson: memory over forgetting, truth over lies, unity over fear, healing over vengeance. The Ceiba tree, sacred in Mesoamerican cosmology, anchors the saga as a living symbol of regeneration.
But this is only the beginning. Los Volcans is designed as a whole universe, one that can grow into films, games, school programs, and a global platform for Salvadoran storytelling. A universe where young readers in Soyapango or San Miguel can see themselves not as side characters in someone else’s comic, but as the protagonists of their own.
In a world hungry for new myths, Los Volcans is El Salvador’s gift: superheroes of true independence.
A story to inspire new generations, superheroes of true independence.
