Creating under the motto "History is stranger than fiction" the team made up of Paul Guinan, Anina Bennett and illustrator David Hahn have published six chapters as of June 2020.[1] The series is unique as it includes a list of references and research notes.[2] Everything in the graphic novel from the latest Aztec fashions to the background of the historical characters is meticulously researched. [2] The artists also document their progress and research live on their social media feeds.

With six chapters published the creators estimate that they have told about ten percent of the story.[3]
