/ Select praise for RED ROOTS: " Red Roots is the shining example of what comics can be at their best. A wholly original concept with characters you are instantly invested in as they traverse a story with twists and turns you could never predict. This is the comic series you’ve been waiting your whole life for. " - Robert Kirkman , Invincible, The Walking Dead “Like nothing I’ve ever read before. ” - Nerd Initiative “Lorenzo De Felici leans into uncertainty, trusting readers to sit with the tension as two seemingly unrelated stories unfold side by side. The result is hypnotic, shifting between brutal action and unsettling quiet with ease. While it withholds answers, it replaces them with intrigue and unforgettable imagery, making it hard to put down and even harder to stop thinking about once it ends… Bold, exciting, and visually striking. ” - AIPT
