    Issue 15 is the fifteenth issue of Bitter Root and was published August 11, 2021. The fifteenth issue is included in the third collected edition, Bitter Root: Legacy.

    Synopsis[edit]

    The third arc of the Eisner Award-winning BITTER ROOT comes to an epic conclusion that will decide the fate of humanity. For the Sangerye family, it means making another sacrifice while searching for hope during hopeless times.[1]

    Plot Summary[edit]

    After consuming a mysterious potion earlier, Ma Etta awakens in a mysterious land where she is surrounded by her ancestors. She meets with her late husband, Martellus, who tells her that it is not her time and that she must return to life. Ma Etta, however, tells them that they must tell her what they know so that she can bring the knowledge back to Harlem and fix the Jinoo problem.

    Blink and Nora panic when they find Ma Etta sitting motionless and they fear that she may have passed. Etta eventually awakens after Nora shakes her briefly. Nora tells Ma Etta that both Ford and Cullen Sangerye have retuned.

    Doctor Sylvester has returned and both Blink and Charlie try to get him up to speed. People have come to Harlem thinking the Sangerye family can save them. Cullen tells Doctor Sylvester that things have gotten progressively worse since he returned from Barzakh, but Doctor Sylvester asks if they have simply just gotten more noticeable.

    Doctor Sylvester has learned much of the Inzondo and Jinoo whilst in Barzakh and has some revelations to explain. He tells the Sangerye's that experiences influence energy and this energy has attracted "gods" that feed on the energy. Adro is one of the gods that has come to feed on the strife and anger of those around her.

    A flashback shows Ma Etta explaining how they use the roots to create the Fiif'no Serum. A revelation is made when one of Enoch's pets, the Kantoo begins digging into the plant and as a result, pollen is released which seems to help fight against the trees.

    Doctor Sylvester believes that they can combat the trees through supporting and defending one another but not attacking. This method proves futile, however, and there are numerous casualties. Eventually, the Kantoo pollinate the tree and it begins to die off.

    A flash forward to 1939 shows the Sangerye family liberating numerous concentration camps and saving people by defeating hate. It ends with the introduction of a new character, Cotton Sangerye.
