“I’m making this with the Latinx community.”

“Ricanstruction: Reminiscing & Rebuilding Puerto Rico” partners La Borinqueña with Wonder Woman, Batman and other DC Comics superheroes to save the island.

“It’s an LGBT issue, a Puerto Rican issue and a Latinx issue,” said creator Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez about the Pulse massacre.

This weekend’s festival celebrates the Lower East Side’s Puerto Rican community with concerts, an exhibit of Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez’s work and more. 

Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez’s superhero, who is a Puerto Rican woman, will debut with an appearance at Manhattan’s Puerto Rican Day Parade this summer and a new comic this fall.
