Descripción editorial
When Drew, a 12-year-old Jewish boy from Yonkers, loses his beloved grandfather to anti-semitic gang violence, he turns to tradition, anger, and Kabbalah to serve vengeance. Conjuring a supernatural defender to protect his city brings Drew unimaginable power—power he may not be able to control. As the gangsters grow closer to discovering the identity of Yonkers' new vigilante and the soul within the golem begins to take permanent hold of the creature, Drew must decide what's more dangerous, the devil you know or the savior you don't. From writers Adam Glass (Suicide Squad, TV's Supernatural) & Mike Benson (Deadpool, Moon Knight), amazing debut illustrator Harwinder Singh, and colorist Gonzalo Duarte (The Bunker, Big Trouble in Little China).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
For the most part, 12-year-old Drew enjoys life in the town of Yonkers, despite its decline and its bullies. He relishes the stories his grandfather tells, and then there's Chase Hirsch, the crush Drew wants to impress. When the Russian mafia kills his grandfather, Drew calls on his Jewish heritage to create a golem to protect the neighborhood from a mysterious and deadly figure known as Little Stalin. Glass and Benson craft a compelling tale of vigilante justice whose many violent moments come alive in debut illustrator Singh's shadowy artwork (when Drew first discovers that his golem, which he names Brik, is alive, the creature is busy mutilating small animals in the woods). Singh lacks some consistency in reproducing the characters, particularly Drew, yet these variations manage to capture an essential aspect of Drew's life, caught between being the child he was and the man he's to become. With steady pacing and a story arc that both resembles and deviates from traditional superhero norms, the creators have delivered a strong graphic novel. Ages 13 up.
