Launched in 2018 from comic creators Sanford Greene, Chuck Brown and David F. Walker, Bitter Root is a comic series set during the Harlem Renaissance that follows the Sangeryes, a family of monster hunters who attempt to cure creatures rather than kill them. It was a critical and commercial hit with Legendary Pictures acquiring the film rights. Fans have been eagerly waiting for new issues. Rejoice for today Image Comics has announced that this March the Sangerye family returns this March in Bitter Root: Next Movement, new, five issue installment in the long running series.
Here’s how the publisher describes the series:
In Bitter Root: The Next Movement, a lie built a House of Oppression. The bitter truth will burn it down. It is 1964, the height of the Civil Rights Movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangerye family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous jinoo—creatures born out of hate and racism—have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer know how to fight.
The creators offered the following:
“I’m excited to return to what I believe is one of the most important books of our time!” said Greene.
Brown added: “Thanks for always standing up to the monsters.”
“Thanks for your patience. The wait will have been worth it,” said Walker.
Bitter Root: The Next Movement #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 26:
- Cover A by Greene
- Cover B wraparound by Tradd Moore
- Cover C 1:25 copy incentive raw wraparound art by Moore
