BITTER ROOT NEXT MOVEMENT (2024)

A Lie built a House of Oppression. The Bitter Truth will burn it down. It is 1964, the height of the Civil Rights Movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangerye family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous jinoo-creatures born out of hate and racism-have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer know how to fight. A bold new chapter in the epic saga of the multiple Eisner Award-winning series begins here.

With the Freedom Riders still missing in the backwoods of Mississippi, and a jinoo threat that local law enforcement refuses to acknowledge, Meriah and her team face danger from every direction. But when an old ally of the Sangerye family emerges, the fight against evil intensifies. Unfortunately, it may be too late for our heroes, not to mention a nation being torn apart by hate and prejudice in the politically volatile summer of 1964.

With the return of Dr. Sylvester, the Jinoo of Mississippi's backwoods are shown no mercy. Blink and Cotton struggle with bureaucratic red tape while trying to cure a growing number of Jinoo. Joe wrestles with the Inzondo within and comes face to face with an old god that has taken root in Ketchakhun County.

Special Agent Chase York has worked closely with the Sangerye family, but the secret he hides from the world may get them all killed. Meanwhile, Dr. Sylvester has uncovered the terrifying truth of a small town in Mississippi, sparking a deadly confrontation that will impact all of America.

MINISERIES FINALE What happens when a family of monster hunters realize they've lost the battle against deadly creatures born out of hatred and oppression? What happens when there is nothing left to do but admit defeat and face reality? What happens when the bad guys win? For the Sangerye family and their allies, the time has come to answer these questions.
