The 5 volumes of the story were published between 2006 and 2015, with two spin-off books also published during that time frame (the StartOfDarkness prequel ''"It came from the moon!"'' in 2008, then ''"[=MetaMuta=]"'' in 2009). The comic was adapted into [[WesternAnimation/{{Mutafukaz}} a feature-length film]] produced by Ankama Animations and Studio 4°C in 2017.

The success of the series spawned several SpinOff series, all still penned by Run but with different artists. Each feature a more-or-less pronounced GenreShift, and were released in a chapter format over the span of a year reminiscent of USCanadianComics (which is somewhat unusual in the [[FrancoBelgianComics Franco-Belgian]] market):
* '''''Puta Madre''''' (2017, art by Neyef): a {{Prequel}} centered around the youth of Jesus from his {{Prison}} sentence at merely 12 years old to his wrestling debuts.
* '''''Loba Loca''''' (2019-2020, art by Guillaume Singelin): a ComingOfAgeStory set [[{{Sequel}} after]] the original story and following the daughter of El Diablo training under Tigre to follow in her father's footsteps.

Misuse. First of all, it's a YMMV trope, so don't list it under the main page. Secondly, Adaptation Displacement is when "the phenomenon by which a derivative work becomes successful enough to overshadow the original work completely". It's NOT when the action of the story takes place in a location that has been altered or moved somehow.


* AdaptationDisplacement: In a different version of the comics, [[spoiler: it explains in the beginning of the story on how Dark Meat City came to be, where in this Universe. Apparently, the San Andreas Fault has been shook with both a part of San Francisco and Los Angeles being drowned in the Pacific Ocean in 1966... If you catch that message.]]
