Nifty comic set during Harlem Renaissance with a family of monster hunters. I like the characters and the setting and want to see what happens next. Essays at back of book are also some excellent analysis and additional explanation.

YES. Read this book.
The Sangerye family "purifies" Jinoo, people who have so much hate in their hearts that they become infected and turn into monsters. But, the Inzondo start to appear and these "monsters" are much more fierce and unknown to the Sangerye. Inzondo are beings that are created by a soul that has been "ravaged by great sorrow and pain".
Just-- please read this. It's an incredible commentary on racism and the effects of racism. The art is faaaaaantastic and the story will snatch you right up. I am waiting (anxiously) for the next installment.

Great story, world, and characters. Plus adorable sidekick cyborg puppy-things. I'm looking forward to the continuation of the story in the next volume.
I read this in the single-issue comic form and each issue had an essay or two at the end which I really enjoyed - I hope at least some of them will be included in the collected volume.
