Stand Still Stay Silent

As mentioned on the podcast, this is a webcomic by Minna Sundberg. It's a post-apocalyptic tale set 90 years after the apocalypse. It starts in Iceland, but crosses all of Scandinavia. It is beautiful and amazing. There's 600+ pages currently, and Minna puts out 4-5 new pages a week.

Series starts .

It's very human and character-driven. What lies outside the safe zones is still largely mysterious to me (I'm 150 pages in right now). But if you need to be sold on this, let me give you the cover image for Chapter 3...



The TRAINSAW! Not its actual name. It's actually a luxury conveyance designed to keep the public safe between destinations.

Also from Minna Sundberg, I highly recommend . 550+ pages. This one is already complete, and it is really good. I consumed it in just a couple days.

GAH!!!

I posted the above, and not 15 pages later, she completely pulled the rug out from under me. GAH!

GAH!

Totally freaked out now. So good. You'll know it when you get to it.

Okay. Caught up. NOW I can go play some Paranoia.

WooHoo! PARANOIA!!!

I'm up to page 220 something, it's been pretty interesting so far.

Cool. I like her style, and I love the characters. She's not afraid to have all her characters be deeply flawed and even complete jerks in their own ways. I'm very attached to the whole team.

Very well done. I like especially that she's taking her time, and that the scope is ingeniously limited. Love her running commentary also. I sent it to a student of mine who is an artist, but isn't really working, just as a model for the kind of projects one could undertake part time at first.

I'm now all caught up, so now I have to wait on the daily updates. *sniffles*

Also, I love the fact that the setting uses cats as guards. Her style reminds me a bit of Princess Mononoke, especially with the Beasts and Trolls.
