Back in her childhood hometown, indestructible, super strong, superhero Kait Jones, formerly Kick Jab Girl, is settling into her retirement. Society’s eye has moved onto new super heroes and she would be living more or less undisturbed if not for one ardent fan pursuing the only untold story of our hero’s glory days. Her origin story. But when Kait weaves a tale dark and unexpected we are forced to confront our expectations of heroism, grief, and strength.

The exhibit, based on the Cincinnati-born comic MeSseD, artfully meshes sewer management and science fiction, turning the solitary experience of reading a comic book into a social “moment” in which people will experience the comic together in a real tunnel.
