Episode Summary:

In this episode of Wednesday Toast, WednesdayPull reflects on Black History Month and shares experiences from a recent meet and greet with Comic Drake. The conversation transitions into a discussion about the comic 'Bitter Root', its significance, and the host's plans to create YouTube content. The episode revisits an old review of the first volume of Bitter Root.

"Bitter Root Volume 1: Family Business." Once known as the greatest monster hunters of all time, the Sangerye family specialized in curing the souls of those infected by hate. But those days are fading. A terrible tragedy has claimed most of the family, leaving the surviving cousins divided between by the desire to cure monsters or to kill them. Now, though, there’s a new breed of monster loose on the streets of Harlem, and the Sangerye family must either come together or watch the human race fall to untold evil. Created by DAVID F. WALKER and SANFORD GREENE, the creative team of Power Man and Iron Fist, along with indie veteran CHUCK BROWN (Trench Coats, Cigarettes and Shotguns).
