BITTER ROOT cowriter CHUCK BROWN and superstar artist PRENZY (ON THE STUMP) reunite for this ultra-violent, high-octane limited series that’s Frasier meets The Punisher!
Gem Ezz is a psychiatrist in the Kafkaesque city of Setham, where corruption and brutality rule the streets. By day, she uses words to solve her patients’ problems. By night, she takes a more direct—and sometimes deadly—approach. But when her practice puts her in the sights of an immortal serial killer, Gem finds herself embroiled in a power struggle that threatens everything she’s ever known.

Ooooh this was great!
Such an intriguing story and I'm definitely keen to read what comes next.
The story is the mystery of a murder, but seems like there's a lot more going on here beneath the surface. It will be fun to unravel what's going on.
Wasn't completely sold on the artwork as it was a little too dark and sketch-like for my tastes, but I can see it growing on me.
Great first issue for a new series.

At first I was really interesting and into the theme of the therapist takes revenge for the patients. But then it turned into completely something else. It had me at first then lost me. Starting out with therapy sessions then out of nowhere abnormal
world building... I when I went to read the second one I was just like "hunny this is not what I signed up for". But hey If you don't mind therapy sessions and revenge story's turning into mythical creature murders than this is the comic for you.

I'm ready for more!
I loved this so much, the action and kick-ass protagonist!! I do wish they would have started off with a little backstory on the main character and how she came to be who she is now, but maybe that will come later. I would definitely recommend!!

Therapist vigilante strikes out in Gotham -er Setham city. Centering black women as our hero protagonists and their origin stories and motivations was deeply refreshing. The narrative arc was intriguing enough to keep the turning. Excited for volume two!

A new type of vigilante has come to right wrongs in a corrupt city. Where a killer can't die and is protected by the worst of society. Can one therapist make that difference? I'm eager to find out.

It's entertaining and the story is really interesting. There are some inconsistencies within the art (size issues, and lines), but it's so beautiful that you barely notice it.
