Reviews
"Puts a monstrous face on bigotry and a beautiful new spin on the Harlem Renaissance." -The Onion's AV Club

"The tragedy and family drama at the heart of IMAGE COMICS' new series BITTER ROOT may be the most traditional thing about a comic that is, at heart, anything but traditional." -The Hollywood Reporter

"Has become a conversation starter in the comic book industry, which continues to awaken to more diverse ways of creating characters both on the page and behind the scenes. The comic is by an all-black creative team and features a predominantly black cast of characters in the 1920s-embracing the black artistic creativity of the Harlem Renaissance but also recognizing the racism of the time." -The Washington Post
