BRIK (2016)

"Drew is a bullied kid in the Yonkers neighborhood of New York City whose family faces encroaching violence from Russian gangsters. Before his beloved grandfather is killed in an attempt to muscle the family out of the neighborhood, he's able to pass down to Drew the story of a mysterious but dangerous protector who helped their people during other troubled times. When Drew finds his grandfather kept the secret to creating a golem, is it worth the risk to summon this supernatural avenger to take on the all-too-human darkness swallowing his world? An urban fantasy tale of power and morality from writers Adam Glass (Suicide Squad, TV's Supernatural) & Mike Benson (Deadpool, Moon Knight), amazing new illustrator Harwinder Singh, and colorist Gonzalo Duarte (The Bunker, Big Trouble in Little China)!"

"Drew is adjusting back into life after the suspicious death of his beloved grandfather, and he's not happy about some of the new developments. His nemesis Johnny is hanging around his crush, the Russian gangsters responsible for his grandfather's death are lurking, and now his mom is considering a move across the country away from Yonkers. The local Kabbalist Sera finally takes pity on Drew and translates the mystical instructions for creating the supernatural golem from his grandfather's tattoo, but even with the information at his fingertips can Drew manage to bring the dark avenger to life? Should he? This tale of family, tradition, power and morality continues from writers Adam Glass (Suicide Squad, TV's Supernatural) & Mike Benson (Deadpool, Moon Knight), amazing new illustrator Harwinder Singh, and colorist Gonzalo Duarte (The Bunker, Big Trouble in Little China)."

"Drew, shocked to discover he was successful in creating the golem, is exhilerated by his ability to control the creature and begins to explore the superhuman limits of its capabilities. But when he uses the golem to confront his bully, Johnny, he learns the horrifying truth of the creature's strength. Meanwhile, the Russian gangsters return to his family's store, and with Drew out for the night with the golem, Jodi finds herself alone in a dangerous situation."

"Drew is left reeling in the wake of his mom's attack and may have to accept that Yonkers-under the oppressive thumb of the mysterious Russian gangster Little Stalin-is no longer safe for their family. Inspired by fear and anger, Drew decides the dangers of commanding the golem, now named Brik, are worth the justice they can bring to the streets of New York. But when Drew and Brik make a bigger impact on the neighborhood than expected, Little Stalin comes out of the shadows to respond."

"Boosted by the strength and power the golem Brik, Drew finally finds the courage to make a move on his crush-but not everyone in Yonkers is feeling so confident. Threatened that respect and fear of his gang has diminished now that Drew and Brik are dealing out street justice, Little Stalin cracks down to tighten his control on the city. Sera returns and meets Brik but realizes Drew hasn't followed her instructions exactly, and now the golem may soon turn dangerous and uncontrollable. And to top off Drew's troubles, Little Stalin learns who's behind this new vigilante of Yonkers."

"With Brik gone, Drew is left to confront Little Stalin on his own. But is Drew ready for that showdown? Will he be able to put a stop to the violence engulfing his neighborhood or will he be just another victim of it? And what fate lies ahead for the golem? Get the all the answers in this thrilling conclusion!
