BITTER ROOT COMPENDIUM

“Historical fiction mixes with supernatural horror, producing a hybrid fantasy world of voodoo spells, mad science, monster Klansmen, and Jazz Age demon hunters wielding steampunk versions of Ghostbusters proton packs… Comics fans will look forward to future volumes of this energetic dark fantasy that effectively mixes thrills and scares.”– “Publishers Weekly”“Relentless action…a kinetic style.”– “Library Journal”“The comic is by an all-black creative team and features a predominantly black cast of characters in the 1920s–embracing the black artistic creativity of the Harlem Renaissance but also recognizing the racism of the time.”– “The Washington Post”“The tragedy and family drama at the heart of Image Comics’ new series Bitter Root may be the most traditional thing about a comic that is, at heart, anything but traditional.”– “The Hollywood Reporter”
