Epitaph: The Healing of Art
Comic - Slice of Life
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a city of art and brotherhood. Lathered with over 4,000 murals, it also drips with the excellence of tags, throw-ups, pieces, stickers, and even more types of graffiti and street art that isn’t nearly as celebrated. Many take their lives in their hands just to get up. And after a recent incident, a young girl who once resided in a neighborhood so full of life, now struggles with a death. This new loss hangs over Roz’s head like sneakers on telephone wires. Unsure of where to turn, she is soon gifted a surprise encounter that gives her the chance at a sense of closure very few ever get. Both for her and another. All she has to do now, is take a familiar, yet daring risk. Epitaph is a story of mourning and the immortality that comes from memory. Sometimes it’s not about going home again, but about making a place feel like home once more.

Their friend Emma, meanwhile, seems to have it all figured out—job, mortgage, engagement—yet the long hours working for tech giant Arko and endless wedding admin prove equally dread-inducing. But when Katie’s latest job finds her tutoring the daughter of Arko’s formidable CEO, Michelle, and Emma welcomes the eccentric and enigmatic Alicia to her team at Arko, none of the three women are aware that their lives—and possibly the future of society itself—are about to change forever.
