Bitter Root is fantastic. This trade begins with the Red Summer special, which reveals so many moments in the family history and beyond that it's absolutely engrossing. Then we get the second arc and its deft movement back and forth through time really deepens the emotional weight of the monster battles. It's a kinetic visual treat with strong characterization and emotion nuance. Love it.
