Family Business
2019
Década de 1920. Criaturas demoníacas se materializam no Harlem. Conhecidos como os maiores caçadores de monstros de todos os tempos, a família Sangerye se especializou em curar as almas daqueles infectados pelo ódio, mas esses dias estão acabando. Uma terrível tragédia ceifou a maior parte da família, deixando os primos sobreviventes divididos entre curar monstros ou matá-los. Agora, com uma nova raça de demônios soltos nas ruas do Harlem, a família Sangerye deve superar suas diferenças e se unir… ou assistir a raça humana cair para um mal inimaginável. Um cenário vivo em detalhes de época, numa trama sempre movida a reviravoltas surpreendentes. Uma mistura energética de ficção histórica, horror sobrenatural e steampunk que ganhou o prêmio Eisner, o “Oscar dos quadrinhos”. “Drama familiar no coração de uma série pode ser a coisa mais tradicional numa história que é, na verdade, tudo menos tradicional.” - The Hollywood Reporter
