So? Diego de la Muerte celebrates turning 21 by going to a Day of the Dead party. When he dies in a car crash, rival Aztec gods bring him back to life a year after he died. This is a pretty straight-forward origin story with art that starts out rather rough but gets better as the book proceeds, especially in the scenes with the Aztec gods. The Latino references are used to good effect, although it remains to be seen where the story goes with such a setup. The book that benefits from extras such as a backup feature, "Elastico," and a spoof of the old Hostess ads that used to run in comics back in the 1970s and 1980s. Grade: C
