Eisner and Ringo Award nominated artist Sanford Greene plans to pay homage to popular Miyazaki film, My Neighbor Totoro, in forthcoming Bitter Root #6 by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown, and Greene.
The new story arc of Bitter Root starts with issue #6 and will feature the work of new colorist Sofie Dodgson.
In Bitter Root #6, the monster-fighting Sangerye family returns for another adventure. Loved ones once thought lost forever have returned—though the bliss of this family reunion doesn’t last for long. Cullen has changed, and everyone is concerned. But they’ll need all the help they can get, as a new threat has arrived on Earth…
Bitter Root is currently in development as a film from producer Ryan Coogler and Legendary.
The Bitter Root series takes place in the 1920s while the Harlem Renaissance is in full swing and follows the Sangerye Family. Once the greatest family of monster hunters in the world, the Sangeryes must move beyond the tragedies of the past, or be forced to sit back and watch an unimaginable evil ravage the human race.
Bitter Root #6 Cover C by Greene (Diamond Code DEC198586) will be available through Power Comics.
