This is what I think about every time I come back to the crowd with comics under my arm to share and explore! After the success of the 1st issue of FWACATA, it was a hard road to get issue 2 out. It's SO hard that, indeed, I'm getting issue 3 almost done! (more on that later). I moved across the country, started a new career, and am finally back at the drawing table making comics! Issue 2 is ready for print, with issue 3 hot on its heels. This issue features new characters, story arcs, and more FWACATA than ever! FEATURING: “PACHANGA” Part 1 A new VIGIL multi-part story starts here in issue 2! Meathook prowls the streets of Miami, making sure the streets are safe, but now he has to deal with drugs hitting the streets laced with Gamma Radiation! You thought fentanyl was bad; wait till you meet COKEHED! “OFFICE UNICORN” by Juan Navarro & Kenny Calderon Office jobs are boring; we all know that. But some people enjoy that and love the dismal routine. NOT UNICORNS. Welcome to the first day of the OFICCE UNICORN; we hope you survive the experience! A series of comic strips done in collaboration with Kenny Calderon (WILD INX) over the year. Here is a collected version of the strips we've done so far! “THE RIGHT VIEW” Part 2 In issue 1, we follow a disgraced ex-cop named Jonathan “REZ” Reznick. A corrupt homicide detective, he stumbles upon a murder cult and, after an Occult ritual goes awry, is “occupied” by his past lives. He uses this ability now to save his soul and bring good to the world, but he wants ice cream right now. But slowly, his old life as a scumbag is coming back to haunt him. Plus, a one-shot comic strip and other extras!

FWACATA — pronounced [fwah-KAH-tah] — is Cuban slang for POW!, WHAM!, or the sting of sudden impact. It can also mean being flat broke — “estar en la fuácata” — the kind of broke you get when you keep buying indie comics because they’re just that damn good. Created, written, and illustrated by Juan Navarro, FWACATA #3 is the latest entry in his Latinx, DIY, self-anthology comic series that hits hard, hits weird, and hits home. This 32-page chaos capsule blends noir, horror, and grindhouse Miami energy into one explosive indie comic experience. Inside you’ll find: 👻 REZ – The Final Chapter A disgraced detective haunted by his past lives faces one last case before it ends all of them. Noir meets reincarnation in this supernatural detective thriller. 🥩 PACHANGA – Meathook Returns Miami’s brutal vigilante, Meathook, takes on a roided-out monster of muscle while the cops scramble to survive the carnage. Think The Punisher meets Scarface on a bender. 🧟 ZOMBIE YEARS – Apocalypse Knight From Juan’s cult-favorite webcomic comes a new short about a lone knight hacking through the undead ruins of Miami. Armored, exhausted, and still swinging. Plus: bonus sketches, notes from the creator, and variant cover art — including a gritty 90s Vertigo-style homage and a wild Super Mario Bros. 3 tribute! FWACATA #3 is more than a comic — it’s a statement. A raw, loud, Latinx punk zine in comic book form, made by hand, powered by caffeine, and dripping with love for storytelling and self-made art.
