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) and Mike Benson (Deadpool, Moon Knight), amazing debut illustrator Harwinder Singh, and colorist Gonzalo Duarte (The Bunker, Big Trouble in Little China).

Praise for BRIK
"Adam Glass and Mike Benson's modern take on the Golem legend is a richly charactered slow burn of mystery and grounded magic. I feel the foundation of a grand tale, building its world with quiet authority and assurance." - Ben Edlund (The Tick, Supernatural)
"Glass and Benson craft a compelling tale of vigilante justice whose many violent moments come alive in debut illustrator Singh's shadowy artwork... With steady pacing and a story arc that both resembles and deviates from traditional superhero norms, the creators have delivered a strong graphic novel." Publishers Weekly
"Though it's entertaining fiction, Brik goes deeper than a typical "kid rights wrongs" story; it teaches universal lessons on the costs of vengeance, and the dangers of purely emotional responses to one's problems... Brik makes for an engrossing and thought-provoking tale." Foreword Reviews
"Brik is a supernatural noir with the direct simplicity of David Lapham's writing in Stray Bullets and off-kilter scrawled artwork that suggests a meeting of Michael Allred and Los Bros Hernandez." - Charlie Huston (POWERS, Justified)
