Description
Etta has arrived at the Meridian Fellowship and immediately begins taking advantage of their facilities. Only, the strange history of the place begins preying on her mind. The people she has met all offer a glimpse of a different kind of life, but the natural world around her hints at something primal and ancient. Her dreams have already begun to change, showing her the strange wonders that await. Only the kindly Solomon grounds her, giving her fair warning of what she may be about to encounter, but also suggesting that her mothers pendant may be her connection to the cosmos. Undeterred, Etta begins her experiments, looking to unlock the secrets of her mothers teachings--but what is revealed is beyond what even she has imagined. Continuing the haunting tale of family, science, and magic, Roots of Madness is the breakout series from writer Stephanie WilliamsNubia & the Amazons, Street Sharks) and artist Letizia Cadonici (House of Slaughter). Each issue features a gorgeous main cover by popular cover artist Juliet Nneka (Absolute Green Lantern) and a spooky variant by Cadonici.
