The emergence of the comic book film over the last decade has resulted in a number of top quality films and an even greater number of mediocre and horrible ones.

Bi-national creative effort Aztec of the City is a comic book series that chronicles the lives of two Mexican-American cousins in San Jose, Calif. who become superheroes. Widely known as America's first, and one of the only, Chicano/Latino superhero comic book series, it was developed by creator Fernando B. Rodriguez, and later illustrated by Ernie Polo.
