RCCC Announcement: Killing is one thing... curing is another in the forthcoming BITTER ROOT

KILLING IS ONE THING… CURING IS ANOTHER IN THE FORTHCOMING BITTER ROOT

PORTLAND, OR, 09/08/2017 — Image Comics is pleased to announce at this
year’s Rose City Comic Con an all-new ongoing series from David Walker,
Chuck Brown, and Sanford Greene that will launch in 2018 titled, BITTER
ROOT.



BITTER ROOT is set in 1920s with the Harlem Renaissance in full swing.
The new series will follow the Sangerye Family—New York (and the
world’s) only hope for salvation from supernatural forces threatening
doom and destruction. Once the greatest family of monster hunters in the
world, the Sangeryes must move beyond the tragedies of the past, or be
forced to sit back and watch an unimaginable evil ravage the human race.



“Bitter Root is going to be unlike any comic book people have
seen,” said Walker. “We're mixing action and horror, with a cast of
characters unique to the medium to tell an epic tale of the Sangerye
family and the sacrifices they are willing to make for humanity. I'm
excited for this series for several reasons. It gives me the chance to
work with Sanford again, Chuck, who is a great co-writer, and Image,
which publishes some absolutely amazing comics."



Brown added: "Bitter Root is a dream project. Walker, Greene,
and I share the same tastes while bringing our own unique talents and
perspectives to the book. Bitter Root takes a classic horror
genre and remolds it into something new and eye opening. I haven’t had
this much fun creating comics in awhile."



BITTER ROOT #1 from Image Comics will hit stores in 2018.
