“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.” -<b><i>The Washington
Post</i></b><br />

“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.” -<b><i>The Hollywood
Reporter</i></b><br />

“Puts a monstrous face on bigotry and a
beautiful new spin on the Harlem Renaissance.” -<b>The Onion's AV
Club</b><br />
