#The Story
V•G1GANTE is the mecha created and piloted by Brismar Besosa Crúz, a computer science undergraduate at the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras. She made her first appearance in La Borinqueña #2 and then as V•G1GANTE in La Borinqueña #3. Now in her first solo adventure one-shot comic book, learn how experiments conducted on her and other students led to many of them developing into Potentes, people with superhuman abilities. Brismar’s powers allow her to read the code that makes up chemical compounds, physics equations, and binary codes. With this she created her very own sentient mecha that she pilots, V•G1GANTE.
In her first solo adventure she balances life as a college student struggling to pay her tuition while facing the threat a Kaiju that has emerged from the Puerto Rico Trench which may lead to catastrophic destruction. Will the combined powers of Puerto Rico's champion La Borinqueña, the bioluminescent Endo-warrior Lúz La Luminosa, the Cocobalé master of martial arts Oro El Coqui Dorado, the agile and high flying Iguaca, and V•G1GANTE be enough to defend Borikén?
