Synopsis

 

 

"Thru the Rinse" takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the heart of danger, where the fearless lovers Rez and Brasil, known for their iconic partnership, face thrilling challenges in a crime-filled city. In the first issue, titled "Into the Jungle," their mission leads them deep into the unforgiving wilderness, where they must retrieve a rogue madman. Lost and stranded, they encounter indigenous people who introduce them to the mystical power of peyote. Through a transformative experience, they emerge as the legendary Aguila Blancos, the White Eagles.

As their journey back to the city begins, Rez and Brasil find themselves facing peril at every turn. In upcoming issues, they confront indigenous warriors, navigate psychedelic voyages to find clarity, and return to the crime-infested city where they must confront the powerful cartel and deliver the captured madman. Betrayals, gang wars, haunting figures from the past, and dark alliances test their resolve and push them to their limits.
