SSSS Read-Along: Chapters 0-10 [Finished]

[yuuago]

One of the best ways to survive a SSSS chapter break is to re-read the comic!

How it works: Every few days, a separate subthread will be posted to this entry for each chapter. Read the chapter, post your thoughts! Let's survive this chapter break together.

Re: Prologue

Whoa, I never noticed that bit with the newspaper. Good eye.

I really hope that we'll be learning more about the origin of the Rash eventually, because right now there are too many questions. Why did it appear to start in that area in particular (it might have started elsewhere, who knows), why does it seem to have a supernatural element to it... Admittedly an answer to the latter is more likely, probably.

Thanks! I may have gone through the prologue looking for details a while ago, because origin stories! *flails* I agree about the supernatural element being more likely to get an explanation as well, although I hope that allows at least some conjecture as to its origin. There's still so much unexplained, and the fact that Stine the crazy pundit lady's paranoia was quite justified... uuhhhh. Government cover-up. Yup. And not just to prevent a mass panic, it feels like there is something more sinister there.

Also the reason I think something shady is going on with the Nordic Council to this date. They know more than they let on, and sending out an underfounded expedition of supposed imbeciles who are more likely to die than not is an excellent deterrent to keep people in their safe zones and not asking questions or wanting to go explore again for a while after the dust has settled.
