This page hints at a few things that will remain lingering once the Godstrain ends. Perhaps they'll be addressed… someday… by someone… ;)
I understand *har* that Call Me Tom is resurrecting ‘The Understanding’! He was so gracious to allow me to use ‘The Bogeyman’ in the Godstrain, and he hereby has permission to use anything from my story in any way he wishes, ‘officially or unofficially’. That's an offer I've made to just about all of you, I think… and that still stands!! Just ask me first, if you don't mind, and please, nothing you'd try to make money off of. Someday I might wanna attempt something like that with these characters myself…
So, these ‘energy tendrils’ Kimber Lee speaks of; they've appeared in the story many times. When we first saw them, there were four…
I've hinted (or made it pretty obvious) that they represented the connections that the ‘Godstrain infected’ have with each other. The mysterious fourth one Kimber Lee is referring to I sorta hinted at when I made my Four of Diamonds card for Call Me Tom's project:
Should I do a Godstrain II, the mysterious Fourth would play a MAJOR part. I've given several hints in the current story as to the Identity of the Fourth - feel free to try to guess!! :D Whether I do a Godstrain II or not, I think I may do a couple page Epilogue, revealing the Fourth, and perhaps act as a Teaser for a sequel… but I'm a long way from there…!!
In the meantime, Kimber Lee and Socorro still have some Loose Ends to deal with…!!
I can say now that the Godstrain is finished! All pages are done, and they will all absolutely be posted by the end of July, so, you know… when you vote… for that ‘completed comic’ category… hehe *wink*
The next page should post June 30th, or maybe a little earlier. I may post slight faster to get all the pages in, but don't think I'll have to - so probably one every five days until they're done!
Thanks so much, for reading, Everyone!

I love that she travels around the world, beating Minions to a bloody pulp! Love the stuff about Tom's Bogeyman and the intriguing "Fourth". With all this time gone by, I wonder where things have landed with Kims marriage and kids...something I'm guessing we see right near the very end. Amazing art on this page, the gals as well as the horse - and that silence from Kim at the end - ! Eeps! Did Socorro's butt clench a bit?
KimLuster at 6:56AM, June 29, 2017
Yeah... I sorta wished I'd included a few pages of the 'infected cleanup', with some typical Kimber Lee inner-monologue... There's still more minions out there - and what if one of them figures out how to pass 'The G-Strain' O_O dumdudum!! Who knows, maybe I might do some one-shots about that stuff... As for the 'Fourth' - that would be a Major Plot point in a sequel (still wrestling with that and some other ideas...). And oh yeah, I absolutely won't leave Emie and the Kids hanging!! And also yeah, I bet Socorro's feeling mighty constipated right about now!!

If and when we see a GS2 it will be great I am sure. Looking forward to your next project (which you keep teasing).
KimLuster at 4:37AM, June 28, 2017
Well... I do have a whole sequel in my head... Just wondering if I'm gonna do it... or something else! And when I'll start!!
plymayer at 9:48PM, June 27, 2017
We are all afraid of the Bogey Man. We hall have our bogey men.
KimLuster at 4:36AM, June 28, 2017
I know that's right!

I never thought about Socorro being a target for anything related to Kim and the Godstrain madness, but sadly, she's still forever bound to Kim it seems. Interested to learn the true nature of Kim's visit!
KimLuster at 4:49AM, June 27, 2017
Hehe well there may be a surprise or two in store...!
jgib99 at 6:43PM, June 26, 2017
Socorro might not like the answer Kimber Lee gives.
KimLuster at 8:14PM, June 26, 2017
hehe maybe not!!
SteveNance at 6:38PM, June 26, 2017
Of course ... the wolf that she healed. (Or brought back from the dead?) The thought of a predatory animal infused with Godstrain is pretty scary. Also, I could see her replying to that remark about "killing your uncle" with, "Oh, you know, same ol' same ol'...so what have you been up to since trying to kill me?" Hard to see how this ends in a month without a lot of open questions, but, all good things... I sure will miss it!
KimLuster at 8:14PM, June 26, 2017
:) I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do a two or three page epilogue. Maybe to fully reveal the 4th and maybe serve as a teaser to a sequel... Maybe... Yeah... there's lots of things I'd like to close up a little tighter, but part of me just feels better about leaving them open - as something to think about... or maybe to force me to do a sequel... Either way, I can't explain the immense satisfaction of knowing readers like you enjoyed it so - THAT is what I will really miss!!
strixvanallen at 12:49PM, June 26, 2017
OMG I can't believe it's ending. ;-;
KimLuster at 2:50PM, June 26, 2017
Yeah... I know!! :(
Whirlwynd at 8:47AM, June 26, 2017
LOL yeah given this conversation I'd be a little alarmed
KimLuster at 10:31AM, June 26, 2017
Haha does seem a little ominous huh...
Avart at 8:47PM, June 25, 2017
Oh! I did't expect that Socorro could be in this kind of situation... I'm very, very hooked on this! I love all the detaills in this page, from the horse, the flashbacks and the facial expressions of the two girls showing us how hard is this moment for them.
KimLuster at 4:45AM, June 26, 2017
Thanks so much! I think you'll like next page!!
BarryCorbett at 8:11PM, June 25, 2017
Wow, you've completed your masterpiece! Congrats! You should be proud. Looking forward to the resolution.
KimLuster at 4:44AM, June 26, 2017
Thanks, Barry!! It does swell me up a bit...! ;)

I'm sure she's safe. Their relationship may not have been the smoothest of roads, but if Kimber thinks Jack Caleb could be a useful ally at some point down the road, then of course the same goes for Socorro. This whole backstory of what's been happening since the fall of Eli is pretty tasty stuff!
KimLuster at 4:19PM, June 25, 2017
I do hope next page is a little eyebrow-raising...! And yeah, so many interesting little side stories... I've given some thought to maybe doing a few 'one-shots' about stuff like that, but... my mind is all over the place about what I'm gonna do next (except obviously take a little bit of a break....)
jerrie at 10:27AM, June 25, 2017
I'm just making jokes. I remember you saying Socorro talks too much. I enjoy your comic. I am sorry to see it ending.
KimLuster at 10:28AM, June 25, 2017
Ha, I know that!! ;) Yeah, it's bittersweet to me for it to end too...
jerrie at 10:12AM, June 25, 2017
Socorro...''you here to kill me?'' Kimber...''You talk too much. yes. I'm here to kill you.'' Sorrocco...''What do you mean I talk too much! I dont talk too much...all my friends say I'm fine...I dont talk too.... SNAP! Kimber...''feels so good to break her neck.''
