Just finished reading Storm Rider. I'm still a little confused as to just what happened in a couple of passages, but that was a lot of fun to read.

And a nice tearjerker ending.

Thanks @Linebyline.  I have been ready many of your comics.  Many I keep up with, some not so much so.  Though it is great to see other things.

Hello! I have a comic this month that I think people here might like.

It's called Hollow Trails by weirdautumnleaf.

Hollow Trails has a lot of SSSS inspiration (which is very visible if you look at the art style) and reading it does feel a lot like reading the early parts of SSSS, which I found quite nostalgic.

It's by a Mexican author and is set in some kind of post-apocalyptic North America - we don't have the exact details on the situation yet, but it looks like the author is setting up some interesting things!

The first main character we follow is Rosario, who is given a fake passport by his mentor and sent to be a guard for a young man's trip.

There's some cool looking magic with glowing apparitions, shape-shifting characters and some kind of crystal-like substance infecting the wildlife. It makes me very curious for where it's going!

There's only about 100 pages so far and updates are fairly sporadic (although the author is still around/active!), but I'd definitely recommend checking it out! Hopefully we get to see more in the future :)

Some of the grammar in the dialogue isn't amazing since I don't think English is the author's first language, but I found it didn't hamper my reading experience very much.

Your summary plus one look at the site and current page tells me that if this comic wasn't tailor-made to appeal to the SSSS fandom, it may as well be.

(And the name Rosario does sort of appeal to me as a Catholic but that's neither here nor there.)

Thanks for the rec!

Yeah -- having read the first couple dozen pages, it sure does seem evocative of SSSS.

Including in that sometimes I'm not sure what I'm looking at. But I expect I will, ahem, keep looking.

Prologue thoughts: Wow, he's sure taking that well, all considered.

Oh, goody! I also stumbled upon Hollow Trails just recently and thought exactly the same. If this was not influenced by SSSS it would be a miraculous coincidence. Will keep checking it!

I am sorry for my lack of … everything, including this thread. Very good if you to keep it alive, special thanks of course to Linebyline!
