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

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.



Read-along schedule:

April 09: Prologue - Thread
April 11: Chapter 01 - Thread
April 13: Chapter 02 - Thread
April 15: Chapter 03 - Thread
April 17: Chapter 04 - Thread
April 19: Chapter 05 - Thread
April 21: Chapter 06 - Thread
April 23: Chapter 07 - Thread
April 25: Chapter 08 - Thread
April 27: Chapter 09 - Thread

The risk I took was calculated,
but man,
am I bad at math.

Reynir in a nutshell, everybody.

You know, I just noticed, Lalli is visibly sweating from the effort of the spell. Either that was a tough problem to resolve, or he's really got no magic stamina. :|a


- 291: THE HANDSOMEST PANEL. FOR ONE SECOND HE HAS THE BODY LANGUAGE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS THEIR SHIT TOGETHER.


Also, Pop Árnason has some impressive mutton chops. Maybe Reynir will develop them in his middle age, too. Gonna look like a fuzzy little red lion.


THE LAST PAGE IS SO GREAT, TOO. I love the pacing, and the angle and and and

A side note: I will never be able to read the line "I'm GREAT at washing dishes!" without losing my shit. Ever again.

Little bit of A, little bit of B? Just guessing, mind you (feel like we don't have enough info to be sure yet, sigh).

I do really wonder about the black noise, though. It seems like, for example, that Swedes/Danes don't have any way to clear it aside from, say, moving to another location. So, would radio communication in Finland be (theoretically) more efficient? At least when comparing to Sweden/Denmark's remote areas, not like, Mora. Because they have a way to get the line clear. And I wonder if Icelandic-style mages can do anything like that, or if it's just a Finnish thing.

~Too many questions~.

And do the Swedes and Danes even know what they're dealing with? Agneta in the train and Mikkel both seemed to be like, "oh well, the line is bad", but Lalli there looks quite startled. Either way they seem to be used to it, but if Mikkel doesn't believe in "ghosts", does he believe in spirits infesting the radio.

(I *should* probably think of ch. 6 as "Reynir chapter", but somehow it's filed under "pink and green hues and radiomage Lalli" in my head. The mix of magic and technology is something that I like a lot. :>)

Yeah, I wonder. I mean, it's obviously something - there are actual words in those textbubbles. But maybe non-magic people can't hear the words? Which would explain their reaction to it. It's kind of weird, though.

"Radiomage" ffff what an excellent word for it, I love it. :D

I went playing with the prompt generator and apparently the spirits of internet randomness had been listening :P

Lalli Hotakainen
Sigrun Eide

just mage stuff
belief and/or disbelief
radio
awkwardness


This is probably what happened before the radiomage page (the captain gets the non-believers out of the tank while the finns work on the radio)

The last page, yes! The angle and each of their postures, and Torbjörn's (?) words ominously floating in the air.

-282 Ahhh Trond and his blackmail. :)a SOMETIMES I really wonder about that guy... One of the many secondary characters I'd like to know more about. He seems so sketchy sometimes, pf.

-283 Ása!!!! One of the other one-off characters that I love. <3 I JUST love her character design and her expressions and I really really want to know wtf Trond just blackmailed her with. (...Also, I kind of ship them, pf). Though, this page always bugs me because HER KNITTING IS UPSIDE DOWN. Oh well. :V

-284 Sigrun you're using the binoculars the wrong way. Sigrun....

-288 Terribly amused by Lalli's "[/squints] [/SQUINTS]" thing going on here.

-290 "We're mortal enemies now!" EMIL please quit being dramatic. (Actually no, don't, I love it) ...I need more Emil-Reynir interaction in my life.
