Kayden Phoenix is returning to San Diego Comic-Con with a new lineup of comics featuring Native and Latina princesses. The series, called The Majestics, is inspired by the grandeur of SDCC and Phoenix’s goal to empower and invigorate her audience through her characters.
Kayden Phoenix’s new lineup of comic books featuring Native and Latina princesses
Following the success of her first comic book series, A La Brava, which was the first-ever Latina superhero team in comic book history, Kayden Phoenix is now releasing a new lineup of comic books featuring Native and Latina princesses.
The Majestics is a groundbreaking series that breaks free from the limited portrayal of skin colors that society has imposed upon us for so long. It is a stunning collection of progressive art that caters to new audiences.
The series features five princesses:
- Mexica is an Aztec princess who embarks on a journey outside of Aztlan to solve three riddles as part of her princess initiation.
- Alora is a witch princess who competes with other “possible” princesses to prove herself as the true princess.
- Novi, the space princess, who finds herself on the run from corporations seeking to exploit her tachyons.
- Coming later Swan, the water princess, gets abducted by pirates.
- And also coming later down the line, Macab, the death princess ventures to Earth to correct a mistake she unintentionally made.
All of these princesses will unite in a thrilling team-up adventure.
Kayden Phoenix returns to SDCC
It’s very exciting to have Kayden Phoenix returning to San Diego Comic-Con with a new lineup of comic books featuring Native and Latina princesses. It’s always exciting to see new diverse and inclusive works of art at SDCC. Kayden Phoenix, who has long been an enthusiastic attendee of San Diego Comic-Con, is now taking pride in standing on the other side of the table as the creator and writer of her own publishing company, Phoenix Studios.
Phoenix’s first series, A La Brava, was a groundbreaking success. The series features the first-ever Latina superhero team in comic book history. During a recent episode of the Portrait of a Fangirl Podcast Phoenix spoke to host Jenna Wrenn about her journey. And what inspired her to create the first Latina superhero team.
I just wanted the representation. […] Where’s our big Latina superhero on the big screen? And that’s originally where I thought about it. If I could write anything and if I could throw it up on the movie–the big theater screen–and pretend that someone’s going to buy it, I was like “what do I want to see, just for myself as an audience member?” And my first thought was Latina superhero.
