About the author
Minna Sundberg
15 books139 followersI'm a Finnish-Swedish lady, born in Sweden in 1990 and living in Finland during 1997-2013, and now I'm currently living in Sweden again for a little while. I got myself a bachelor's degree in graphic design from the university of industrial arts in Helsinki in 2013, and during my two final years of those studies I drew my first real webcomic, A Redtail's dream, a 556 page tale built around some concepts of Finnish mythology.
I also ran a crowdfunding campaign for a printed book version of A Redtail's Dream, and it went so well that I'll be able to work full time as a webcomic creator with the profits and only draw SSSS for a while.

I am a total fan and I have been following this web comic every day for years. What I particularly love, in addition to the wonderful world building , non-USA centric point of view and fantastic art, is that you can never predict where the story is going. Minna Sundberg has a wide writing/art range from cute cute humor to body horror second to none. Her heart, compassion and a sort of macabre wit shine through which is a very unusual combination. If you know anyone who likes Graphic novels, the best Xmas gift you could give them is the first volume of this series. My highest recommendation.

Como este vendría a ser el último libro respecto al orden de publicación, no voy a poner una especie de sinopsis porque abarca las últimas 500 páginas de la primera aventura y estaría haciendo spoilers, así va a ser únicamente mi opinión del cierre.
Creo que no tengo mucho más que decir que no haya dicho en las reseñas de los dos volúmenes anteriores, aunque creo que el punto que más me resonó fue cómo se nota que ahora los personajes realmente están madurando y creciendo respecto a la trama. Casi se podría decir que entre el segundo volúmen y este hay un punto de inflexión para los personajes, lo cual tendría sentido siendo que estos dos eran un compendio de la primera mitad y este de la segunda.
Acá es cuando todas las ideas que los personajes tenían preestablecidas comienzan a romperse, cuando algunos comienzan a mostrar su verdadero yo más allá de las apariencias que tienen para el exterior, mientras que para otros madurar es cuestión de vida o muerte.
Esta vez la trama empieza a ponerse más seria y tenebrosa, y las acciones de los personajes tienen consecuencias.
Obviamente también voy a resaltar lo hermoso que es el arte de Minna: su estilo, la paleta de colores, la atención al detalle; todo hace que más allá de la narración haya un aura etérea y mágica, que fue una de las cosas que más me llamaron la atención cuando empecé el libro.
Si bien me fascina que sea una historia tan larga porque da la oportunidad de pasar más tiempo con estos personajes tan queribles e imposibles de soltar, lo malo es que al ser una trama que avanza con un ritmo tan lento y ser tan larga, es inevitable que hayan cosas que se vayan olvidando y hay que retroceder al menos unas veinte páginas para retomar el hilo entre tantas interacciones entre los personajes.
Creo que no tengo mucho más que decir porque mis opiniones se mantienen igual que en las reseñas previas, y ya haré una específica para el cómic en su totalidad en mi Instagram.

This edition was absolutely heartbreaking. Again, beautiful artwork and atmosphere, but elevated in this edition by the drama in the story. I love how we're slowly learning about the state of the world across the series. This artist has a rare talent - can't wait for the next book!

Okay, I'm warming up to the characters a little more in this one. Still really loves the concept of everything more than the actual story.

Just finished the print edition of this volume with the boys last night. SSSS is my favorite webcomic, and is just a pure joy to read. It's very thrilling. The characters are fully developed. The art is mysterious and beautiful. The third volume continues to increase the drama and the scale.

Thank, NPR, for introducing me to this series; looking forward to the next round.
Sadly, it couldn’t be more relevant now.

This installment was heavier fare than previous episodes. The crew's journey takes them deeper into the silent world and the cost turns out to be extremely high. I was surprised by the turn of events that followed but perhaps I shouldn't have been; the series has always been a strange mix of lightheartedness and horror, and perhaps it was inevitable that the two threads would eventually clash.
As always, the art is atmospheric and emotional. Every page is a joy to explore, with much to find in the small details.
I highly recommend this series, and if you're too impatient to wait for the hardcopies you can always read the entire series online for free.

Gorgeously drawn. Inventive. A joy. Even more eerie to read with the current state of the world. The story does take a sad turn in this volume and left me a bit heart broken. I cant wait to sink into this world again whenever the next volume comes to print.

Love the art but felt less compelled by the storytelling in this volume. Some more somber moments were handled less skillfully than the illustration and it created a bit of a disconnect.

I've been following SSSS for several years now. Not nearly as long as some, but from the moment I picked it up, I was utterly enthralled with the world, and the people, it contained. I must have binged several chapters within the length of that first night, and I eagerly awaited each update with high hopes.
The first and second book of SSSS I must say I utterly adored. This third one, though, was less then thrilling. I'm not sure what I wanted. More time spent between the characters really discussing their traumas? Loose threads picked up and neatly tied together? A real bang up of an ending, if anything, but one that most certainty addressed, more so, the pain held within Onni after the loss of his sister, Tuuri. Maybe I need to reread the entire story. Maybe I missed something. But after seeing her again, and rescuing the souls of their family, I expected some sort of discussion on what had occurred. If anything, about Tuuri's untimely death. But the discussion is more or less done off screen. This would have been fine, to me, if the last book in this series didn't so much as end, as peter out. I'm happy that the gang is all together, that they still have so much time to spend together and adventures to look forward to, but...I don't know, it's not the goodbye I was hoping for.
Maybe the author is tired, maybe they're too distracted with their new work, but I think I'll always feel like I'll miss this series. And not in a sad, bittersweet way. But in a "Oh, well, I guess that's that," way.

It's a little difficult to judge the SSSS books independently as they tell a continuous story without particularly effective break points to wrap up the previous book and start the next one. Where book one served well as a first act, book two had the unfinished feeling of the first half of a second act. Book three, now, is paying off the groundwork those two books have laid. Easily the fastest paced of the first three books, it also stresses and develops the characters more. It's a thrilling read when it's all coming together.
The art is lovely and the layout compelling. Sometimes, though, the art can be muddy with confusing perspective shifts, and the layout can be disordly. This is particularly true on two-page spreads where occasionally some of the panels go left to right, top to bottom but other panels go top to bottom, left to right. I think this gets better over the years the author illustrated this, but it never quite goes away.

Ouin, ça commence à paraître pas mal que c'est un webtoon finalement. L'ambiance est encore bonne, mais il se passe pas grand chose et les relations évoluent pas tellement. On passe de longs moments à parler pour rien dire, les scènes d'action sont trop rapidement expédiées et si mal découpées qu'on comprend à peine ce qui se passe. Les temporalités sont pas claires, on change de journée d'une case à l'autre sans aucun moyen de le savoir et c'est écrit au feeling, comme pour remplir des pages. Ça me fait penser à un travail de session qu'il faut étirer sur 10 pages, mais qu'on a des idées pour gros max 4. Visuellement, c'est assez beau, atmosphérique et glauque-ish, mais il manque clairement un éditeur pour diriger un tant soit peu l'écriture.

Je suis très clairement sur mon postérieur (pour rester polie).
Merci Minna Sundberg pour toutes ces émotions. Je suis complètement chamboulée.
Ce troisième livre était encore plus génial que les précédents.
On retrouve l'environnement post-apocalyptique, l'univers riche et les personnages toujours plus attachants. On note toutefois une ambiance un peu plus sombre que dans les livres précédents, notamment au niveau du moral des personnages.
Minna Sundberg a un réel talent pour nous faire rire, pleurer ou ressentir l'inquiétude liée à cet environnement post-apo.
Cette lecture a été un coup de cœur encore plus gros que pour les livres précédents.

Someone here and I didn't care... I'm only a bit sad because
The colors were so dull here. The story was dull as well. I didn't care about the ghosts, I didn't care about the trip the characters are taking. And Reynir is irritating.
I read this three days ago and it's all blurry to me.
It's as if a very good potential was wasted on nothing. The more webcomics I read, the more I think authors need editors to help them.

Que dire... ! Beaucoup trop d'émotions dans ce tome, une intrigue qui suit parfaitement son cours et des personnages toujours aussi attachants et bien caractérisés. La complexité de l'univers et la barrière de la langue sont si palpables que cela en devient pénible de souffrir autant au gré de leurs aventures (douloureuses) ! Dans l'attente de la suite (avec un peu d'appréhension)...

WELL. I AM NOT OKAY.
this continues to be my favorite comic of all time!! the humor from none of them speaking the same language is just a freaking delight; i laugh out loud so much. AND NOW ALSO CRY AND I'M JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO HOPE FOR SOME CTRL+Z TO THIS SITUATION BECAUSE NO.

I love the art style in this series, the colour palette is beautiful. I also really enjoyed the story in the series as well, I thought the characters were well written and the story was interesting and well paced.

Book's not out as a book yet, but the web comic is beyond this point, and the portion that comprises the book is bloody lovely.

C'est un plaisir de retrouver cette bande d'explorateurs scandinaves. Ils s'enfoncent un peu plus dans les terres désertées. Tout est calme et pourtant il plane une ambiance angoissante. Le danger est partout et on sent une tension tout au long du livre rendant l'action plus présente. Néanmoins, c'est aussi contemplatif que dans les tomes précédents.
Les personnages évoluent beaucoup, tout comme les évènements qui deviennent dramatiques. Il y a toujours la barrière de langue ce qui apporte un peu d'humour. Les personnages ont tous un côté fantaisiste ce qui allège un peu les choses.
On obtient pas mal d'informations mais il reste encore des zones d'ombre. L'univers s'étoffe petit à petit. J'aime beaucoup les pages qui ponctuent certaines fin de chapitres et qui permettent de découvrir la culture scandinave. C'est très intéressant.
L'atmosphère de cette histoire est fabuleusement mise en valeur par les illustrations et la colo. J'avoue que c'est principalement ça qui m'a séduite au départ. D'ailleurs, la priorité est donnée au visuel car il y a finalement peu de texte. Les traits sont fins, les décors superbes. Le choix des couleurs est parfait. Je trouve original que certaines planches soient au format à l'italienne ce qui demande de tourner le livre. C'est un régal pour les yeux !

This was probably my favorite book so far it was so good.
I've grown to love tuuri even more which makes me appreciate this book even more.
I hope these characters, this Lore, and this story get a great ending (not necessarily a happy ending, just a satisfactory one because I've seen one star reviews on the next book and I'm getting worried)

This story only gets better. The characters are some of the best I've come across in any book.
