The series was released under "Visual Editores" (later "Visuales") publisher, being one of their most known titles ever.

The story is about Alex, an UnluckyEverydude who rescued his UnluckyChildhoodFriend Carla at the hands of a pair of {{Dirty Cop}}s who wanted to rape her. But instead that, [[DeathByOriginStory he received a couple of bullets in his body causing him the death]]. Then he awake in [[{{Hell}} Entropía]], a CrapsackWorld full of monsters where the [[{{Satan}} Lord of Entropía]] was waiting for him. He makes [[Film/TheGodfather an offer he can't refuse]]: take the place of his father and [[BackFromTheDead come back to the human world]] to make suffer the human race, or burn eternally in Entropía. With no choice, Alex accepts and revives with new powers. But instead of a FaceHeelTurn, Alex converts into "Diablo", a supernatural vigilante that keeps Santiago city safe from thugs, [[DirtyCop corrupt cops]], mobsters and even supernatural menaces as [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]], other demons and a WitchDoctor, all watched and guided by the HotAsHell (literally) HornyDevil called Cénit.

** Alex's father, the one who made the DealWithTheDevil and who passed the deal to his son, was a [[NebulousEvilOrganisation DINA/CNI]] agent and torturer for UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet's regime.

* MoralLuck: Instead to kill his victims, Diablo prefers to left them to their own luck save them or kill them. Some examples are shown in the first arc, when he leaves an AbusiveParent hanging on the Entel Tower and bonds a DirtyCop to a hood of a car running without anyone driving it. In both cases there's SerendipitousSurvival.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: Vardan, TheDragon of Lord of Entropía, who has his own plans apart of his boss, seeing in ''Diablo no.11'' (he organized the [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne deadly tournament]]) and ''La Resistencia'' (he sent the demon troops to kill innocent people).

* IdenticalStranger: InUniverse. [[spoiler:The HornyDevil Diablo has to fight with and Vardan's {{Dragon}} results to be Cénit's sister.]]

* MobWar: [[spoiler:Diablo is involved in one during ''La Resistencia''.]]

* OnlyOneName: Diablo is only known as Alex[[note]]Slightly subverted in the second issue when the police searches for Alex and goes to see his sister, she's called as "Mrs. Benavente". So, technically his full name is "Alex Benavente" but it's [[ChuckCunningham never mentioned]] in the whole series[[/note]]. Also, other characters are known by this as [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Carla]] and [[HornyDevil Cénit]].
