Negli anni '20 l'Harlem Renaissance è in pieno svolgimento e solo la famiglia Sangerye può salvare New York - e il mondo - dalle forze soprannaturali che minacciano di distruggere l'umanità. La famiglia di cacciatori di mostri, una volta molto numerosa, è stata lacerata da tragedie e da codici morali contrastanti. I Sangerye devono guarire le ferite del passato e andare oltre le loro differenze... o stare a guardare una forza maligna inimmaginabile che devasta la razza umana.
I love the story that Bitter Root is telling here. It’s dark and deceptive, while also trying to tie everything into the complex past of this country. I’m sure there are more meaning and hidden points that I’m completely missing, but I’ve loved what I’ve seen and picked up on. I’d honestly love to know even more about the main characters. I feel like we have three distinct groups moving around each other here. Two have the potential to be working together, while the third is obviously working against them. I can’t wait to see what happens when all three meet up. I have a feeling it’ll be explosive.
I really like Sanford Greene's art on this series. It's expressive and reflects the almost manic pace of unfolding action. It's early yet, and there is a heck of a lot going on with a complex narrative and multiple players making unlikely alliances.
