Whoa, Sluggy

[willskyfall]

Does anyone on my friends list still read Sluggy Freelance? Because the last month or so has been rather intense; and judging from today's update, we're not going anywhere happy in the near future . . .

(Please keep the comments spoiler-free; if there's interest in discussing spoilers, I'll make another post.)

Haven't read it in 4+ years. I guess I should skip back a month or two and take a look again?

Hmmm. Well, Pete just finished up a story arc that he started in . . . holy crap, December 2008?!

If you want to skip a lot of the earlier part of the arc, the shit starts hitting the fan around late April:

and the climax started in late June:

. . . which all goes to show that I have a horrible grasp of time when I say "the last month or so".

Just the last month or so??

[willskyfall]

Well, yeah, ok, see above. :)

[gdarklighter]

Yeah, that sure was something.

Yes. The last comic made me decidedly unhappy. (But I'd been getting more nervous as the week went on, what with the "story arc ends this week!" and me not seeing a happy way to wrap things up that quickly.)

Still reading it. It was an interesting arc, but I feel it was a bit bait-and-switch. It didn't at all clear up the big mystery that I was expecting it to.

(Is that too much of a spoiler?)

I do think it was an interesting end, however.
