Bitter Root Vol 3

The creators of Bitter Root flips the centuries old convention of "Black people are monsters" by arguing that, well, isn't the most monstrous force in the US actually racist hate from white folks? In explosive fashion, Bitter Root introduces us to a family of conjurers and root workers who have battled literal demons for generations; demons that are born from the hate that only white men are capable of and, worse, from the despair of those they oppress. Set against the backdrop of the Harlem Renaissance, Bitter Root exposes racial inequalities with gloriously illustrated battles between monstrous NYPD and Klan members and those who fight to redeem or destroy them.

From the Publisher: The monster-hunting Sangerye family has faced terrifying challenges in their fight to protect humanity, and while they have suffered pain and loss, they have never been defeated. That is about to change. A great evil has invaded Earth—and the Sangeryes are not prepared for the battle they must face. But if they cannot protect the world, who can?

See the Harlem Renaissance as you never have before as the Eisner Award-winning series continues!
