Teq, a five-issue series, is set in a version of LA ruled by a still existing Aztec Empire, and follows the titular private investigator, as he pursues “a string of brutal ritual murders that echo not only his past career as a member of the official police force, but also threaten to upend the stability of the city by resurrecting barbaric religious practices that have lain dormant for a reason. Plus, the fact that his own daughter is about to enter into the next phase of her own religious education makes this more personal than Teq would care to admit.”
As well as Murrieta and Rubín, the book also features lettering by El Torres, and additional prose material by Murrieta. Issue #1 will be released on February 24, with variant covers by Gilbert Hernandez (Love and Rockets) and J. Gonzo (La Mano del Destino), while subsequent issues will have covers by fine artist Mexifunk and Dani (Batwoman).
