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.

Fiction can ignite a sense of adventure and prompt reflection on real-life struggles. Bitter Root achieves this remarkably. A blend of adventure horror, science fiction contraptions, and chilling monsters, it serves as a potent reflection of our society.
Having thoroughly enjoyed the initial Bitter Root epic, I find The Next Movement's opening issue equally compelling, promising another memorable imaginative journey.
Sanford Greene's art is both uniquely gritty and strikingly lovely. His visual storytelling consistently elevates with each new project. David F. Walker and Chuck Brown deliver a script that expertly blends history, sci-fi, and horror. This is genuinely one of the finest series currently in production. Div more
First of all, I haven’t read the entire first volume, so there are a few spoilers in this issue. However, don’t let that stop you from picking up this read. This is exactly why you read comics—this is the high standard of writing and artwork that makes it worth your time and money. Once again, an absolute masterclass by David Walker, Chuck Brown, and Sanford Greene!
