Plants and punk rock collide in a tale of apocalyptic reckoning. The graphic novel Herbs for the Apocalypse is a fusion of medical plant knowledge woven into a tale of resilience and resistance in trying times. The protagonist, Sofia Spinoza, is a misanthropic Luddite with a love for punk rock. A dreamer rooted by her love of plant life, she grapples with frustration at the human race for destroying the planet.\n\nHaving become disenfranchised with her illicit indoor cannabis grow job at her squat in Robleville, Sofia secures employment at a local herb shop. This sets Sofia off on an unexpected journey through her ancestry, our ecosystem, and the Fabric of the Universe itself.\n\nBetween dealing with the shop's quirky clientele, and navigating uncertain global times, Sofia discovers the many allies that have been rooting for her all along.
