In the 1920s, the Harlem Renaissance is in full swing, and only the Sangerye Family can save New York—and the world—from the supernatural forces threatening to destroy humanity. But the once-great family of monster hunters has been torn apart by tragedies and conflicting moral codes. The Sangerye Family must heal the wounds of the past and move beyond their differences… or sit back and watch a force of unimaginable evil ravage the human race. DAVID F. WALKER and SANFORD GREENE, the creative team of Power Man and Iron Fist, along with indie veteran CHUCK BROWN (Trench Coats, Cigarettes and Shotguns) bring you 24 action-packed pages of monsters, mayhem, and family dysfunction in a brand-new ongoing series. BITTER ROOT Cover As by SANFORD GREENE will be connecting through the first story arc.

The art style, setting and delivery are all pretty good. I wanna know more about what’s happening and who these characters are. You get just enough to make you interested but not enough to know what to expect next. Good read.

The concept is really interesting. If this were to happen in real life idk how we would be able to handle it, especially in the south. Sad. Excited to continue this series. Very action packed and the artwork looks great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Style and Substance
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018
You can read this as a straight up monster hunting action/adventure tale set in 1920's Harlem. Or, you can read it as an extended metaphor about racism, and how racist attitudes can turn people into "monsters". Walker and Brown embrace what they call the "EthnoGothic", which is a way to manipulate and rethink horror and Gothic tropes to attack negative racial stereotypes. In extended notes and a thoughtful essay at the end of this first issue Walker and Brown invite the reader to follow both paths, and that was an invitation I was happy to accept.

The characters here are better developed than most, especially for a first issue. There are a lot of members of the Sangerye Family, and a fair number of them will demand and grab your attention right off the bat. While there is monster hunting it's not entirely clear at this point who or what the monsters are, why it has fallen to the Sangeryes to fight them, and what the end game might be. That said, the narrative overall and the individual scenes - comprising action, exposition, family conflict, and humor - promise a rich combination as the series develops.

So, this struck me as a strong and intriguing beginning, with real promise that the series will become even more layered and engaging as it progresses. A nice start.

(Please note that I had a chance to read a free ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)
