A review by james_desantis
Bitter Root, Vol. 1: Family Business by Chuck Brown, David F. Walker

4.0

A nice monster clash comic-like-movie with huge racial underlines.

This is about a family who doesn't seem very connected but all working together to purify monsters or in some cases kill them. Most of these monsters are broken souls tainted by darkness to do horrible acts of violence. However, when one of their own in the family is infected they most band together to find out what is happening.

I really enjoyed this for the most part. Fast read, easy, and super fun. I like the message, and the racial issues it covers work really well here. I also dug the atmosphere here, very urban-fantasy which is my favorite type of fantasy mixed with solid humor. But I expected that from David F. Walker. A 4 out of 5.
