PORTLAND, Ore. 12/16/2024 — Bestselling creative trio David F. Walker, Chuck Brown, and Sanford Greene will usher in a bold new chapter to their epic, multiple Eisner Award-winning series Bitter Root with the upcoming “The Next Movement” story arc. Bitter Root: The Next Movement will kick off a new, five issue installment in the long running series will launch in March 2025 from Image Comics.
In Bitter Root: The Next Movement, 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.
« I’m excited to return to what I believe is one of the most important books of our time! » said Greene.
Brown added: « Thanks for always standing up to the monsters. »
« Thanks for your patience. The wait will have been worth it, » said Walker.

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.
