"....He was shot first in the head, and still alive, he drew in the ground a big cross with his blood. After the other shots, he died kissing the cross."

Behold a preview of the original comic I have in plans.

Sorry it's kinda graphic and not your typical fluffy fanfare stuff from JB.

Tis my original characters (who I have yet to name and am still figuring out their story) witnessing 14 yr-old Jose Sanchez del Rio's execution in February of 1928 during the Cristero War in Mexico.

Let's see, how do I want my comic to be taken as...

ha ha, got it! Tis my dream to make this the "Rurouni Kenshin" of Mexican comics.

Well, not really. This one is more "Peacemaker Kurogane" than "Rurouni Kenshin" in nature.

Especially since it will have original characters that get involved with tragic historical figures and much violence will ensue.

Will it be historically accurate? Hm, for the most part yes, I will try. But more than likely I will take some artistic license with the historical figures. XD

Hey! watsuki and tons other japanese artists have done it to historical icons, so why not me too?

at any rate, it is also my hope to address both sides of the war and give them fair treatment, cuz yes, there were bad people and good people on both sides. *points to crazy-violent Father Vega as example*

It was indeed a crazy revolution, my grandfather was killed in it before my father was born. The fate of my family changed drastically as a result, But that's a story for another day. X3;

At any rate, figured I'd give folks a slight taste of what my comic would be like. My original characters aren't in their final design, but for now this does a well enough job for this scene.

They are basically.... a naive 14 yr old girl who comes from an upper class family but gets separated from them and is dragged along for the ride. Here she's in disguise dressed like a poor girl. She supports the revolutionaries up to a point.

...and the guy is a 17 yr old middle class student who also gets dragged along for the ride and is rather skeptical of the revolutionaries.

They eventually end up with Jose's group and well...the rest is history...

I used a photo of Jose and sorta aged him for this scene, since I don't know how he looked last when he got in war. I don't imagine he cut his hair often...

Jose Sanchez del Rio was beautified November 5th, 2005.

Damn, that kid had balls. O_o; Call him naive, an idiot or whatever you want, but not many kids these days would have the balls to do what he did. Not for a belief, that's for sure. I know I sure as hell wouldn't. LOL, but yeah, that kid didn't take the easy route at all. Damn...

I hope that general did good with his life, gosh darnit!

Anyways, normally I say, "hope ya like" but I feel weird saying that here. I wonder if I should put a Mature content on this...?

Eh, let me know what you guys think. If you have any questions, suggestions, whatever, let me know. I need to get motivated to start research on it. XD; I probably won't seriously start it for a year or so. I want to take a special trip to mexico to research this subject and that won't happen this year, I'm positive.

Till the next pic!
