Where it came from
Released in 2001, JLA: Black Baptism was a four-issue limited series published by DC Comics as part of their expanding Justice League of America catalog. The narrative centers on a conflict involving the cult group Church of Blood and the occult-adjacent character Aztek, serving as a dark, supernatural pivot for the team during a period when DC was heavily experimenting with genre-bending crossovers within its flagship superhero titles.
The series was written by Ruben Diaz and illustrated by Jesús Saiz. Saiz, who would go on to become a staple artist for DC, utilized a gritty, atmospheric style suited to the occult themes of the script. The design sought to contrast the high-fantasy aesthetic of the Justice League with the shadowed, theological horror of the Church of Blood, resulting in a reception that catered largely to readers interested in the darker, more mystical corners of the DC Universe.
