And that’s the end of SSSS! A bit underwhelming in the end, but it had some really cool ideas and great moments throughout. The final news post actually accompanied a comic from a couple posts back but I only noticed it now. Here’s a somewhat curated version of it, which may answer some questions:

Minna Sundberg posted:

- Adventure 2 of SSSS will end on an open ending, just like adventure 1 did. I always wrote SSSS to be without a definite goal or end, as something I could feasibly quit at certain intervals if I go bored, or just keep doing indefinitely (hence leaving open plot points and such). I don't have any knowledge what adventure 3 would have been other than it being set in either Norway, Sweden or both. This year would have been the time to plan out the next plot points, but after my conversion (a little over a year ago now) I knew I would move on from SSSS, so I haven't planned anything more story-wise.

Feel free to imagine whatever future adventures you want for the gang, and resolutions to open plot threads, those of you who enjoy doing such things.

- For those of you who wanted to come with me on my Christian artist journey: my new comics hub will be my personal projects website -over here-. I have some info about my current comic ideas/plans linked over there, and it's where I'll post the future comics to be read when they're ready. I'll probably set up some new social media pages eventually.

- For those of you who were crossing fingers that those future projects would be something Narnia- or LoTR-esque, where you can't really tell it's a Christian story without being told: bad news, it won't be like that. I'm not saying I'll never do something like that (I might have 40 years of comic-making still ahead of me after all!) but it's not what I'm passionate about right now. I love theology, and it's what i want to explore more through my works, and not in a buried way.

- I'll keep doing the weekly drawing livestreams on twitch, so if you enjoy hanging out in those don't worry, they'll continue.

- Personally I'm still doing well, even though ending this comic that has been my life purpose for almost 10 years, and making such a career-switch is a bit stressful. As I mentioned a couple months ago I finally grew the courage to get baptized and become a member of a Christian congregation (one that turned out be be just right for me), so I have great emotional support through all this. (Also I'm trying to learn to be more social and not a jerk in real life, heh)

- Well, can't think of anything else right now. If something more comes up news-wise I'll write it in the future blog posts. Enjoy the rest of the epilogue.

That’s it. I guess it’s all Christian comics from here on out for Minna.
As for me, I’ll take things in the exact opposite direction by posting Kill Six Billion Demons next

Oh, perfect. I had heard that one was reaching the end so I was planning on reading it, someone did start posting it in that one old comic thread that got nuked and it seemed quite interesting, but I didn't continue on my own after that. I was kinda planning on doing so eventually when it was over but reading it here will be even better.

I really liked SSSS and I would be happy if there was more of it but I'm glad the author ended it instead of turning it into a Christian webcomic.

Oh, Six Billion Demons is finally winding down? I binged through it in (I think) 2019, then decided not to try to keep up with it until it was at least close to finishing up so I wouldn't have to deal with its update schedule for who knows how many years.

I was wondering if I could collect anonymous feedback, that way I can't write like a million words about it, and dominate the thread or have people be like "I don't want people yelling at me for not liking thing."

If you read my comic, or you fell off, or if you just want to help me get better at writing, can you tell me what you think in general?

Last time on Joey's Special Experience by Hirohiko Archie: Thunderbeast realizes he missed another summary in the last update! Joost kicks up at the incoming sword and uses his feet to send heroin through the blade and into Ford's body! As Ford's arm falls off, Joost takes advantage of the distraction to break free of the hair and deliver a heroin-infused punch rush straight to Ford's face and body!

Wait so SSSS really was about them just wandering around killing beasts? Or rather picking fights with them and then running away? I was kind of hoping it was building up towards something...

Maybe I missed a stretch of the comic but I'm scratching my head a little.

If you go to her website one of the first things, she tells you is that she has heard the internal alarm bells rung by the lord about the dangers of a societal credit system. And that she can't recommend Stand Still Stay Silent because it was made before she was saved.

SSSS could have really done with a co-writer or editor to help out. The art is beautiful but the story varies wildly and ultimately feels like wasted potential.

And now the artist will probably never make anything of value ever again

The Saga

The first adventure was a research expedition into the infected zones. The second adventure was the gang going after Onni who had headed out to save his grandmother's soul from the Kade.

Dealing with infected beasts that existed in those places was just a necessity.

Yes I agree that was a good episode of Black Mirror, but that isn't how the world is likely to work anytime soon.
It takes a special kind of stuffing your head into your own rear end in a top hat to miss all the burning fires EVERYWHERE and consider social credit to be the harbinger of doom.

I've read a lot of her new stuff to see if there was anything worth taking from it, and other then the art there really isn't, she's gone completely off the deep end.

Co-writers, editors, beta readers, all that poo poo is hard as gently caress to find. Well unless you have money, but for the average person it's just hard to get feedback on stuff.

They started making fearmongering comics about social credit scores wherein you lose points for reading the Bible? That really happens in the bunny one. Noooo they have such artistic talent :(
