Bitter Root Volume 4: The Next Movement – 9781534331075

WINNER OF THE EISNER AWARD “Puts a monstrous face on bigotry and a beautiful new spin on the Harlem Renaissance.” —The AV Club. 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. Collects: BITTER ROOT #1-15, BITTER ROOT Red Summer Special and the Image Anniversary Short.
