Dumping the last issue of volume 2.
>>152700493I'm only catching the tail end of this comic, but if this turtle has never appeared before this issue, he's going to kill Sam (I hope)
thanks to that anon that made that webms and gifs about beneath thre trees and DC KO.
>>152700316So does this take place before or after she fights Lex Luther?
>>152700528F for the duck girl.
And... well, thats it. Volume 3 is confirmed.
An act of terrorism on this scale would undeniably end up being the biggest news story in the country. Especially pre-9/11. Someone blowing up an entire town, and the fact they're undeniably tied to all the bodies in paint cans in the area too. Fire won't cover up the fact her building had fucking ceiling shotguns, and her being a suspect in the aforementioned paint cans incident would lead everyone to conclude it was her. She'd be more wanted than the unabomber, but instead of no one knowing what she looks like, everyone knows. TL:DR She's fucked. Her trial is going to be the furry-world equivalent of the OJ Simpson trial and get broadcast to thousands of people. New laws are going to get passed because of her. You're gonna have to go through the fucking TSA to go through Toll Booths now. That's how bad it would get after an incident like this.
>yeah so basically I just blew up the whole town lolThey really did jump the shark
Underwhelming.Bye.
>>152700557Yeah, the Idea she can just go out to some random desert town and be safe is retarded lol, he redneck neighbours would rat on her for the however many thousand dollars reward and she'd get kidnapped by the glowies the very same day. She'd get the chair for sure.
>>152700535Karma Houdini ending.I guess author is going to make more funny stories about this remorseless serial killer bear woman.Setting up an entire town on fire was kinda unexpected from her.
>>152700508He's been in this second series since the beginning. He's more cannon fodder than a killer.>>152700524After (provided that crossover is canon). Sam didn't have gray hair in DC KO, so it's clearly when she's in her prime (probably after the first series, but before this one).
Would you?
Sam should've just been a regular serial killer Having her burn the town down is just way too over the top when has a serial killer IRL ever done anything on this level?
>>152700508He was in the first one. He was one.of the first characters introduced and was on the float when the goat's corpse was unveiled and the townsfolk briefly considered him a suspect. He got decked by the pig lady later in the story.Him becoming a shut in started in the forst.story because of everything he went through.
>>152700602Nowhere, but since the comic got popular they gotta milk it for all its got lmao. They had her fight fucking lex luthor and you still think the author didn't sell out?
>>152700598I would. I think she's very fuckable
>>152700528I don't like that they killed Monica Who the fuck is going to hunt her down now? the Mole teen?
>>152700535>"I think deep down I know I couldn't keep my secret forever..."Bitch you couldn't help but use the internet to taunt a crazy duck chick to stroke your own ego BTK style. What the fuck did you think was gonna happen when a hyper-fixated person like that got close to you?
>when the next series comes, Sam becomes a genuinely GILF
>>152700428Oh thank fuck that someone actually saw Sam do it so she's exposed now. Was concerned with Chip being shot as he looked through the window that it was a way to get rid of the one convenient witness.
>>152700321>9x-ish UI>XP/Vista/7 stop error message>... but carelessly copypasted, thus including "(New BSOD)" and a Windows 8+ BSoDBoy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder
The only fucking way Sam is going to be able to get away without the whole country knowing who she is, if she loses like tons of weight gets plastic surgery and learns a new language and accent. I don't not believe for a second that she's not on the Furry FBI's most wanted.
>>152700535>"In the years that followed"This bitch is going to be in a fucking wheelchair in her 90s before someone finally pops a bullet in her.
>>152700335The fire risesthis better be worth the wait
>>152700598Stick her hands into a blender? Yes.
>>152700621I NEED to make psychopathic apex predator babies with her bros...
>>152700598damn bratty serial killer...
I haven't really kept up with this since the first volume. So Sam is just the fucking terminator that was able to set the entire town on fire and just get away with it?
>>152700316Who else is sick of Villian Sue characters. Feels to me that guys who write villian sues are th3 kind of guy who thinks "in real life the villian gets away with everything" as if they were some deep philisophical think who sees the truth i. The universe, not like the stupid masses. Then they go and write shit like this and ypu see what kind of navel gazing ponce they really are.
So I guess Sam is 100% Asexual then? I was expecting Lesbian stuff between Sam and Monica but she just burnt that bitch like she was roast duck.
>>152700797It was her plan all along
Can I post my crossover comic?
>>152700711she would legit be placed #1 by the FBI with a massive 7 figure rewardshit ending desu srsly she gets away with it, the duck gets roasted. Come on you jumped the shark too much. should have been the whole town vs her till the NG&fbi shows up
>>152700557>>152700560>>152700570>>152700578>>152700602Author whored Sam out to mainstream. That´s the real problem here.
Monica was done so dirty by being turned into crispy duck. She should have been the one to kill Sam, was the far more interesting character at this stage in the story, and unless she's going to show up covered in burns - which would still be less bullshit than ceiling shotguns and planting a fire bomb in the fire station break room - this is it for her.The annoying part of this isn't that Sam survived. It's that she acted like a fucking moron throughout all of this, got extremely sloppy and cocky, and completely threw her killing M.O. out of the window and STILL survived. She may as well have been a different character with how she was written in Rite of Spring compared to the original or even the one-shot in Germany.I honestly don't know if I'll even bother with the next volume.
>>152700813I don't know why you expected that at all.
>>152700840It's feasible enough to me that she could blow up the town and make it to podunk, nowhere, but not that she could hide out for years and years. Nowhere is isolated enough to not hear about a giant manhunt for a terrorist serial killer.For this to work, she'll have to stumble upon an actual insular cult whose members are effectively cut off from the outside world through brainwashing.
>>152700528Mmm...Roasted duck...
Well, Rite of Spring is over.Now what?I'd like Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees to be something like a tetralogy (because I'm reading the prequel about young Sam in Germany).With the last part set in the 2000s.
>>152700885>The annoying part of this isn't that Sam survived. It's that she acted like a fucking moron throughout all of this, got extremely sloppy and cocky, and completely threw her killing M.O. out of the window and STILL survived. She may as well have been a different character with how she was written in Rite of Spring compared to the original or even the one-shot in Germany.This. Part of her appeal in the original story was her code of no killing in the town, and her struggle to deal with someone coming in and fucking everything up. Now all of the sudden she's an arsonist and killing anyone in her way. I get that years have past, but it's a complete whiplash in character.
>>152700885I ain't got a problem with Sam becoming sloppy I feel like that makes sense all serial killers become sloppy asshloles after a while they always get bored and stop caring about the details Having her get away with it is another thing. if she doesn't die in the next volume I'm going to be really pissed off.
Sam does meth on desert in oder to survive.
>>152700885>unless she's going to show up covered in burnsHave you heard the legend of the cooked duck?
>>152700316thanks OPheading off to work now but i'll be lurkan
>>152700995Sam lies low in Slab City
Batman would have caught Sam.
>>152700812I’m just impressed, it took Dexter four seasons to go full retard, this jumped the shark in two
>Jump the shark: Glass Koala>Jump the guy jumping the shark: Vent Shotguns>Jump the guy jumping the guy jumping the shark: This whole fucking issueHonestly, it's sort of impressive.
How it should have ended:>all the same up to page 14. Lewis stealing the car is a great way for him to have his own revenge for Chip>Do NOT immediately invalidate this by a blind and deaf driver coincidently driving down the alley but didn't see Sam shoot her still smoking gun>Monica uses the growing flames to burn through the rope whilst Sam is distracted by Lewis>jumps Sam from behind, chokes her with what's left of the rope. They stumble back inside>store room brawl as the fire rises, grabbing all sorts of weapons from the boxes>Sam has the advantage, Monica gets gravely wounded. But Monica is able to pull some shelving over>Monica squirms free, but Sam's foot is caught as if it's a bear-trap>they have a final talk to say their pieces, with Sam reminding Monica that this will be the third person she's killed now>Monica leaves just before the fire covers the doorway>Sam lays back for a final internal monologue, smiling, imagining the fire as all her past victims closing in on her to rip away at her flesh>we see the aftermath in the news. They never find Sam's body as it burned up in the fire>Monica is being treated to by doctors, but seeing the grieving Koala family in the distance, decides it's best to go home now>years late, searching online shows that Sam's true crimes have been exposed, and she's been blamed for framing Nigel for his crimes too. Internet edgelords do create a fanbase for her. There is fear of copycat killers, especially from those who believe she is still alive somehow>Monica is trying to return to a normal life. She angrily pulls down an "OBEY Giant" style sticker with Sam's face on it from a lamppost she walks past>As she goes to a cafe to grab a cafe, she looks up at the news on the TV. Eyes widen: A missing person from last month has been found: chopped up and buried in paint cans
Sam psychopath or sociopath?
>>152701165Psycho, definitely. We get to read her thoughts and she genuinely has no affection for or attachment to anyone. She's not just a user and manipulator with a disregard for others' rights and feelings, they are literally nothing to her.
>>152701165Psychopath.You can generally tell if someone is a sociopath, since their behavior is very outwardly abnormal.A psychopath can fit into society. They just don't care about the other people in it, outside of what they can get from them, and will often put on an act to get what they want.
I have these questions about the ending:>Is the male koala (Michael) dead or was he rescued from the fire?>Which US state did Sam flee to?>Will Woodbrook be rebuilt?
>>152700535There's no fuckin' way she escaped all that, especially when more than enough witnesses survived and could easily tell authorities who it was that shotgunned the sheriff and blew up the townWriter has Sam doing too much despite being characterized as just a Serial Killer with a very very meticulous way of picking and killing people. Then the duck girl fucking dies and it's not even somewhat satisfying. What a waste of a good concept
>>152701513I expected some fucking between them.
>>152700954It would be interesting to see what a sequel to Rite of Spring would be like.With Sam now in her 60's (looking like a grandmother in some town in Utah, Arizona or New Mexico) and with Lewis or Wendy (or even both) as police investigators trying to uncover the truth about Samantha.
I don't know which was a worse shark jump, the shotgun or burning the entire town down. Either way, he ruined the IP with one sequel which is impressive
I'm just glad Lewis didn't die, I was worried there for a sec
>>152700462not very wise owl
>>152701452>Is the male koala (Michael) dead or was he rescued from the fire?Very likely dead. The fire is almost catching up with Mrs. Burrow's group, and she was just outside of his room a moment before in >>152700471>Which US state did Sam flee to?Unknown, but clearly one of the desert states. My money is on New Mexico.>Will Woodbrook be rebuilt?Very unlikely. The fire seems to have consumed most of the buildings, and such a small town would absolutely not have the fiances to rebuild on that scale, so unless a massive sum comes from outside the community, that place is gone.
>>152700528NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE SEXY DUCK LADY
>>152700462This might somehow be her biggest Karma Houdini moment in the entire series. She can't even go two panels where something has gone wrong and someone gets one over her before the universe just hands her an escape route.
>>152701602My condolences to Carol and Ricky.I hope Carol finds a good male Koala in the future.New Mexico could be a good option for Samantha. Arizona and Utah have larger populations and also have relatively important cities (Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City), and New Mexico could have even smaller towns than Woodbrook.I think they could eventually rebuild Woodbrook, but only partially.
someone needs to rape that bear.
>>152701750Luthor could have gotten it done if it weren't for that blasted World Forger and Time Trapper
>>152700535"In the years that followed" like she hasn't just committed the biggest terrorist attack in (then) US history with a bunch of witnesses and a former murder record. She'd be Bin Laden tier within a week.
>>152701057>Sam lies low in Slab Citytopkek this would unironically work since its the early 00's before all the media talking about slab city
>>152701826Does this mean that Sam fled to California (more specifically to the Sonoran Desert)?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_City,_California
>>152700885>I honestly don't know if I'll even bother with the next volume.Same desu.
>>152700535Well that certainly is an ending.
>>152700375dr. alphys?
>>152701867Somewhere in the Southwest by the looks of it.
>>152700452smart boy
>>152701996It could also be in New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, in the southern, western or southwestern part of Texas, or even in Colorado or as far as Oklahoma (although the last two are very unlikely).
>>152702060Where is Woodbrook? I thought it was in New England.
>>152702073It is, which just makes the ending even more ridiculous.
>>152702060Nah shes becoming a meth queen/chemist in slab city its perfect all while starting a cult
>>152701042sounds delicious
>>152702073If Woodbrook is New England, specifically in the state of Vermont,and Samantha has fled to the Southwest United States>>152702087Now Sam becomes a kind of Walter White
>>152700902>sam becomes amish
>>152702086yeah>>152702087I think the cult angle is the only way this can make sense at all. She can't feasibly just hole up somewhere because she'll be found out. She'll have to start a cult that will hide her or infiltrate a cult that's already totally disconnected from the outside world.
>>152700528Cool turtle
>>152702128A cult in in cali NM or Utah works perfectly, she can pick up all the jailbirds live off grid make meth unironically as that was a huge problem in the 90's early 00's before the cartels fully took over.They can kidnap and hunt people in the desert for fun or wtv
>>152700832Idk I guess
I remembered that in previous threads we created an opposite/antithesis version of everything Sam is.A female panda named Wes Weak.The version of her from Rite of Spring that they made has a flower shop.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/152154657/#152163991https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/151468455/#151494947She would probably go to Woodbrook to help people and, while she was there, give flowers for funerals and burials.
>>152700535What an absolute dogshit ending. What the fuck.And it's CONTINUING? After turning the story into a gigantic pile of shit???Man. I'm seriously impressed at how hard this comic dropped the ball.
>>152700535>>152702237I'm so disappointed and angry I even forgot to thank OP for storytiming.Thanks, OP. As always. You're a real one.
>>152702205That’s really cute.
>>152702205>female panda>Not asian>Not a big titty gothNO bad
>>152700521Post them.
>>152700547Well, at least the art will be nice?
>>152702187Maybe it can be a kind of grindhouse thing a la The Devil's Rejects. Her lone bear serial killer gimmick is obviously played out at this point, so there has to be a big pivot. That final line about having fans could be referring to a group of followers. Perhaps the author has already decided on this route.
>>152702255>>152702285Thank you.And here's what she looked like in the 1980s (in the first part of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees).I also imagine West meeting Carol and her baby Ricky, and West giving her flowers for Michael's grave.>>152701602
>Sam blows up a town because she can't handle change or some shit>gets away with everythingMeh
>>152700535>I just never expected that once they found out, I'd have so many fansShe is going to have copycat killers. Sam will be too old, but she will lead them like Charles Manson.
>>152702337Daww
I'm actually surprised more of the named/reoccurring characters from the town didn't die. We lost the sheriff and Chip and wasn't Cherry's husband the owl? Ngl I thought Anchovy was gonna do something stupid and get himself trapped and the turtle would die trying to find him.
>>152702412If she's the opposite of Samantha.If the owl (Howard) was the husband of Cherry Gherkins (the pig from the first part)>>152700462What I did find strange was that Melody (the female Siamese cat) didn't reappear.

>>152702519
>>152700832Based crossover. Post it.
>>152702205>>152702337If she's the opposite of Samantha.Most likely, West still has her parents alive.I can also imagine her having a partner/boyfriend/even husband (a male panda) and maybe even a child.
>>152702533
>>152700832>>152702503>>152702519>>152702533>>152702553I think this is a better crossover than the one Sam had with Lex Luthor.

>>152702718
>>152702128>I think the cult angle is the only way this can make sense at all. She can't feasibly just hole up somewhere because she'll be found out.You're still thinking logically after the shotgun trap debacleI think its more likely we'll jump to 20-30 years later, Woodbrook is left as a ruined, deserted town after the incident and popular with youtubers and the type of people who enjoy wandering dilapidated towns, and an older Samantha snuck back to haunt the place and kill off the occasional person who wanders in. Cue a modern ghost hunter type youtube channel group coming in, and she can Blair Witch them all to death
>>152702718Nick-sama…
>>152702738
>>152702728also its more remorse like this could cause future problems that kind of guilt
>>152702753

>>152702740that's a terrible idea
>>152702795
>>152702797>that's a terrible ideaSo was shotgun traps and a dozen radio controlled firestarters destroying a town
>>152702693Guilt is self focused, while remorse is an outward empathetic emotion.You feel guilty berceuse you personally feel bad about what happened, you feel remorse because you know you hurt someone else.A sociopath doesn't feel remorse because someone else feels bad, but they do feel guilt because they personally feel bad, usually due to a feeling of shame.

>>152702797>>152702813How about this idea?In the 2000s, an adult version of Lewis, now a police officer (or private investigator), learns that disappearances and crimes similar to those committed by Samantha in Woodbrook during the 1980s and 1990s have occurred in the southwestern United States.So Lewis (possibly along with Wendy) would go to investigate and arrive in a town even smaller and more isolated than Woodbrook.Samantha (now in her sixties) would continue killing people, but to keep a low profile, she would pose as a kind of small-town grandmother and only kill undesirable people (drug dealers, pedos, other murderers, and other social outcasts). But due to her age (and possibly the lack of contact with other people), Sam would begin to hear voices in her head and have hallucinations.And Sam would also have to deal with all the technology like security cameras, people with video cameras (even camera phones), and people with more access to the internet.
>>152702558Wait, is that a real thing? I thought it was just a shitpost about how badly this comic jumped the shark
>>152702881Thank you
>>152702819Cool Beans
>>152702986>an adult version of Lewis, now a police officer (or private investigator)I like this, but maybe instead as a criminal profiler or psychologist around serial killer stuff.Same beats, but I think they established the Moles have shitty eyesight and not great hands so they wouldn't be prime Police material, but good for the admin/paperwork stuff
>>152703078education+exp wise that would legit take forever, you dont let young people are legit srs criminals. Its too dangerous.
>>152702881Thanks dude.
>>152702288
>>152702874Nice
>>152703078That could also be an option for Lewis.I also imagine Wendy as a medical examiner or even a psychologist (possibly to help Lewis and Pauline with their trauma).I also imagine Woodbrook as an even smaller town than before (but not a ghost town). There would be a few residents still around (like Bertie), and they would still be dealing with the trauma of the 1994 fire.
>>152702650Holy fuck that's brutal
>>152702819bretty good anon thanks for posting
>>152700598Thanks. But I prefer the mouse.
Anyone else miss him besides me? This whole comic never felt the same without him.
>>152703121Lmao
>no final showdown against sam, she just torches the town and runs away from any consequencesI haven't seen a writer give up so hard in a long time
I just don't understand why they killed Monica in such a casual way. Like I didn't even know she died first time I read this.
>>152703364First comic felt like a complete story this just felt like a set up for future stories which is always the worst fucking way to make a sequel "Oh don't worry viewers. we know this was unsatisfying but maybe the next sequel will deliver!" I hate how most franchises are just like this now. give me a complete story fuck face.
>>152703365it's possible she's still alive i guess. not sure what she would add that the son wouldn't though.
>>152702491>>152702724>>152702839Melody recognized there was something fucked up about Sam and got out of dodge with her new man
>>152703365>>152703527Yeah I think killing Monica was about subverting expectations and to make way for Lewis (who has already been established as a loner and aimless so him doing it makes sense) to be the one to chase down Sam. Feel fucking awful for Monica's parents though, both of their kids killed by the same psycho bitch.
>>152700528>killing off MonicaSeriously!?>>152700535>hiding out in "the middle of nowhere" to hide from law enforcementThe author of this series has never actually been to a rural area.
>>152700428>>152700439>>152700528Anyone else hungry for duck?
>>152703706>The author of this series has never actually been to a rural area.There are pockets (less so these days) in the western US where you can more or less disappear. Now, granted, it really shouldn't work forever for Sam because she basically committed 9/11 the prequel, so that's potentially where the author might fuck up. I get the impression that Sam is writing this when she knows she's about to die though.
>>152703765I'll admit I've never really been to the far west, but I live in the rural midwest, and went down to the southwest once on a road trip, and at least in terms of culture and behavior, it didn't really feel much different than back home.
Something about the original series was way more disturbing than this series.The first comic (and the German spin off) felt a lot more real despite being about furries. Rite of Spring is so fucking Hollywood in compression.
>>152703335Based Nigelchad
would it be cope to think that volume 3 will be where she gets got? With the advancement of technology I feel like the next story could get into tracking Sam down through early forensics
>>152700471RIP to Mr. Glass Bones...
>>152703910If Sam doesn't get killed in the next comic I'm gonna find the home of the writer and kick his balls in
>>152703910she gets killed then book 4 set in modern day revives her as Samantha Tron
>>152703910I could see the third volume being the end where she just sorta goes "Eh I had a good run" when caught.
>>152700535What an anti-cathartic ending. There's jumping the shark and then there's doing flips over it. I can give Horvath a pass for some things, being an unknown creator who suddenly got a whiff of franchise money, but this is too egregious. Sam booby-trapping the town with explosives is such an insane leap in scale.
>>152704195I mean Sam was beating up Lex Luthor in his power armor
>>152700316What is Sam's final kill count over both series?
>>152702986I imagine how that story would begin:In the 2000s, Lewis and Wendy (now adults), along with their mother Pauline, would be visiting a memorial dedicated to those who died in the 1994 Woodbrook fire on an anniversary of the tragedy.Wendy would talk to her mother, and we would learn that Wendy now works as a psychiatrist, helping people who have suffered the trauma of losing a loved one to a murderer.Lewis, meanwhile, has been studying criminology, and he still wonders where Samantha could be.
>>152703910>With the advancement of technology I feel like the next story could get into tracking Sam down through early forensics>early forensicsMate, this isn't the 19th century.
>>152700316oh boy here we go!!!!
>Sam is supervillain tier now>The new main character died horribly>Sam got away with everything againThis went from creepy in volume one to just kind of frustrating really fast.

>>152703586It wouldn't be surprising if Melody no longer lives in Woodbrook, and what's more, she no longer lives in Vermont.
>>152704208she is literally a bear though
>>152703881The first comic and the Prequel felt grounded despite some of the theatrics Nigel was pullingA very self-contained story about a Serial Killer in a small quiet town pulling off gruesome and murderous killings and it's up to another gruesome and murderous Serial Killer to put a stop to it. That was fine and it worked because there was a clear beginning, middle and end. The sequel could have had that but instead it goes through hoops and ladders to give Sam a happy ending even though she should have gotten caught and captured for her crimes
>>152703786There used to be regional cultural divides in the US, but now the divide is just between rural and urban.
>>152700528>>152700535Lame ending. I liked the Turtle though.
"Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees The Movie" in 2030
>>152703910The book already abandoned its central conceit of a savvy serial killer in volume 2 so something has to happen. There's also the fact that Sam is not a heroic good guy killer like Dexter so her demise is what the audience should be rooting for. Even after the silliness from Rite of Spring, I could see it pulling off something interesting, but I think I'll be disappointed if it doesn't end in volume 3. This was never set up as a campy series where an evil serial killer gets to commit terrorist acts and just keeps getting away. It needs to be the end for her.
>>152701568Youre reading a comic about talking animal people. Since when did logic matter
>>152704892>Nobody Sees The Movie
>>152704937DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
Y´all phony.
>>152704572A bear...WITH A KNIFE!
Is Sam asexual?
>>152705103back to africa
>>152703744I'll have the fiery duck neck, plz
Sam crimes deserve life sentence or death penalty?
>>152705278High impact correction.
>>152705278Vermont abolished the state level death penalty in the year of 1972.Furthermore, Sam's first crime was in Germany
>>152705278rape penalty
>>152704609Should have set Monica up to accidentally murder one of the koalas and she gets arrested trying to pursue the truth, and when she tries to tell the cops she has evidence about her brother's death. But when the cops go to find Sam at the hardware store they find it burning down with a body inside.The evidence from Nigel is gone, Monica is framed for killing 'Sam' on top of the koala father, and Sam is seemingly gone. But she really just packed up after killing 'herself' (a bear she kidnapped from the city and killed for this purpose) and left to New Mexico for even quieter and more remote place to conduct her rituals, satisfied she had her out and that even her victims could bring victims to her that could solve her problems for her.What makes it all imperfect is that forensics is good enough to tell the bear is not Sam, which is where the tension comes in. The developers in the woods find Sam's paint cans and Monica is finally questioned again about her claims regarding Sam. Lewis and his family end up devastated by the news that Sam may in fact be the real murderer.
>>152700316Lex's fear was justified
>>152703527At least Monica’s path of revenge was for a death that was actually by Sam.Lewis think Sam killed her dad but that really was Nigel. And Chip’s death is indirectly hers only because a police officer managed to do a 180 spin when shot and had a spasm that just happened to hit someone walking past the window.
imagine if monica somehow did survive that
>>152705681She comes back as Roboduck and hunts Sam down with her gunhands.
>>152705721
>>152705681>>152705752I'd like to see Monica as a kind of duck Robocop
>>152703335You think if he somehow came out on top he'd blow up the town?
Bruh it only just occurred to me that they Doaked Monica
>>152700471Well atleast the staircase didn't kill Mr. Koala Glass Bones...
>>152705803And Doakes DOES come back as a robot in the source material...
>First time I've ever been attracted to a duck character in fiction >Kill her off in the worst way possible
>>152700535It's over for Sam considering the mole witness got away.
lmao
Which character do you think got the worst death?I'd go with Cherry Gherkins
>>152705300That wasn't the question.Honestly she deserved the breaking wheel.
>>152705893It kind of looks like she's strumming a guitar
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an acclaimed comic series drop off so hard so abruptly since The Promised Neverland, and even that only really started to fall apart at Volume 14 of 20.
>>152705893Everything´s fine.
>>152700885>>152701042>>152705893If she somehow survives this, she'll be one hell of a Peking Duck.
>>152700316I genuinely hope someone fucks up the author for jumping the shark this hard. Peice of shit
>>152705915For me, the worst deaths (in Rite of Spring) were those of Father Koala (Michael) because nobody bothered to save him, and Monica (now she's a roast duck).
Comic is too mainstream now.
>>152705278At this stage, death penalty is too easy for her, especially with how many years of freedom she’s had and how old she would be when she is caught. She deserves to sit in a cell alone and let the boredom of captivity kill her instraf.
>>152703910>Lewis corners Sam>says this is for his dad>Sam points out she never killed his dad. She did seriously get revenge on the actual killer Nigel>this distracts Lewis long enough that she kills him and escapes again after setting off a bomb she planted off screen months ago that turns whatever state she moved to into a crater>Volume 4 is just Sam sneaking out of her retirement home to run over kids in her mobility scooter, still never being caught
>>152706032The koala likely didn’t feel a thing due to being in a coma and would have been knocked out when hitting his head falling down the stairs.
>>152706097I seriously doubt Sam could destroy an entire state.Besides, the bomb would kill her too.Also, the whole burning down Woodbrook thing is a bit of a stretch.I mean, how the heck did she plant incendiary bombs in a hospital and a fire station without anyone noticing?
>>152706148Maybe (maybe) if Sam as the local hardware store owner is *also* the town handibear she could get away with planting bombs where she did some repairs.
>>152706144Even so, it was a pretty sad death.I just hope there's a third part so Carol has already found a new male koala.>>152700375>>152700482
>>152706180Perhaps (very perhaps) with the fire station he could have repaired some furniture or chairs inside, like in this panel: >>152700365With the hospital, it would be very difficult to imagine a situation where Sam could plant the incendiary device.
>>152706148Sam is gonna use a nuke is the next series
>>152706249I imagine something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEdaLHC0yA4&pp=ygUUZ3RhIHNhbiBhbmRyZWFzIG51a2U%3D
>>152706249For volume three, Sam needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.
>>152704226It's not a bad start.I also imagine the adult Wendy (as a psychologist) treating Carol (the female koala) so that she can cope with her loss
>>152701707>>152706194Why do you want to cuck the dead koala so badly, hasn’t he been through enough?
>>152706337My apologies.Besides, it's strange that the anonymous person who draws hasn't learned anything here.
>>152702724seeing how Cherry's husband was just brought back to rack up Sam's kill count in this volume and to give her another getaway car, it's better if Melody never returns at all
>>152706463It wouldn't be surprising if Melody left Woodbrook well before the events of Rite of Spring
>>152700547Wait they'll be more?
>>152706754Apparently
>>152706754Volume 3 was confirmed last October.
>>152700354>>152700335this is so fucking stupid
>>152700535IT'S SO SHIT I CAN'T EVEN BE ANGRY.
>>152700535Is it me or does that last panel suggest Sam won't even be in volume 3?
>>152700598Yes, but only the kink art where she's a wheezing, immobile blob.>>152700621This is a start.
>>152705915Monica because being burned alive is a long and insanely painful way to go.Nigel because he had to look at his mom's dead body while Sam monologued and taunted him.Following this trend, expect whoever goes against Sam in series 3 to suffer immensely.
Why was Nigel so rapey and sexual towards his female victims? It doesn't help that he's also a photographer.
>>152707038Does anyone know when part 3 will be released?I bet Lewis will be next.
>>152707088No, no word on when.
>>152707106All I hope is that the story reaches the 2000s.I'm curious to see what the characters will look like.
Not the ending with the duck storyline I hoped for. But I didn't think it was that bad. What would anons have done differently or liked to see happen?
>>152707083Sociopath. Very bad impulse control.
Samantha is one of the lamest fictional killers I've ever seen seriously, and you can clearly see the writter desperately trying to make her actually interesting because he had to go from boring vague reflections about her boring ways to nuking a whole town because she is now batman or something>Now I have so many fans!!Serial killers that have a following would have all that because of how bizarre their life story was, samantha has literal nothing apart from the parents story that nobody knows about
>>152707314I don't agree with that at all I mean for one she's a female serial killer. Do you have any idea how rare female serial killers are? Not to mention most female serial killers are like poisoners or widow killers or target the elderly or kids Sam kills men woman anyone really and gets rid of them in a very neat planned out way. that kind of stuff alone would make her very popular.
>>152707267I think >>152705329 has the right idea. That would have been much better.
>>152700528>>152700535It's dead jim.
>>152700535this bear is a jokea frustrating oneat this point she is no better than flippy from htf or another bear i wont mention by name because she attracts a very vocal schizo
>>152700885>>152701042>>152706003If Sam can rig up a magic shotgun wall then Monica can cut a deal with Vidar.>>152701750I did this one for /trash/ a while ago.https://files.catbox.moe/bt1th2.pngand these ones I did for fun. RIP Monicahttps://files.catbox.moe/erim31.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/cit5hs.png
>>152707795It looks like a monster from Yu-Gi-Oh! or some spirit of vengeance like Ghost Rider
>>152705278kidnapping at most3 months community serviceactually she’s a bear, so you’d be the one thrown in prison for trying to wrangle an endangered animal who’s just trying to hunt in her natural habitat
>>152701154kino
Damn, looks like I was wrong. I thought she'd torch the police station to cover her tracks.
>>152700316Someone draw Sam squeezing her fat fuzzy bear ass into some jeans ASAP.
>>152702205>>152702337Requesting please a drawing of Wes Weak when she was a child girl.
>>152707795nice
>>152701750Do want sam to get her just desserts>>152707795Nice stuff by the way anon though missed oppurtunity for "roast duck" joke
>>152700528>>152702883>>152702908The turtle always wins in the end
>>152700316I like alternative universesPlease make a drawing of an alternate universe of beneath the trees where nobody sees, where everything is just the set of a TV show or a Slasher movie.with all the characters actually being actors and also the film crew, cameras, director, etc.
>>152706249>>152706270Nah I'm thinking something from that Edgelord game Hatred https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PunbEq7koEk
>>152707795This is great work, I even see you did the one I requested on /trash/
>>152700535Shit ending. I could see them doing one last volume if it was gonna just be like a 'Sam's Final Days' thing where she's on the run after being exposed and trying to stave off the inevitable as long as she can... but YEARS? Fuck off.
>>152707795Fire Punch x Beneath the Trees crossover
>>152700535>all these replies>I just never expected that once they found out, I'd have so many *fans*.pottery
>>152700885>and unless she's going to show up covered in burnsits obvious she will with that sequel set up
Kinda funny how all of that could have been prevented had Monica decided to take the offer of the Koala father and check what was in the box together and would somehow be less retarded than the events that transpired instead
>>152702553Actually given the timeframe wouldn't that mean Nick was only killed a few hours ago
>>152707795>>152700482What if Pauline was walking around in that hospital gown while actually wearing nothing underneath
Sam isn't interesting or charismatic enough to be pulling looney tunes shit or getting away with it long enough for another story
>>152702687Furries don't even ask if they can give you a blowjob, they just look at you like this.
>She fucking got away with everythingOf course she did, she can't be caught properly or die because the comic is popular. Garbage.
>>152703038You know I'm not surprised that she can burn down the town and get away with it after what she can do with Lex Luthor
>>152700365that cat has a FAT head. God I want to smoosh it.
>>152707267Would do it something like this >>152701154Monica wins, Sam appears to be dead but her body is lost in the fire, and then there's a cliffhanger that makes you wonder if Sam is back or if it's a copycat killer
>>152700535>>152704887It's certainly unsatisfying but I think this is what everyone that is still putting up with shit was expecting. I doubt I'll read vol. 3 ever, because the only surprise is going to be how cartoony is it going to be.
>>152709178This feels like something AI would have made. This shit is so stupid. Does the creator have a lot of bribe money? He have blackmail on higher ups. I refuse to believe they are so stupid as to think this shit is any good.
>>152705893i'm surprised she couldn't even tip the chair over
>>152709411>I refuse to believe they are so stupid as to think this shit is any good.I mean, it is good. Just in the way that you'd think a clown doing silly acts is "good".
Sam's entire appeal as a "charismatic killer" character was that she had rules to keep things nice and tidy, to not do anything in her own backyard, and she enjoyed the slow release of drawing the killing out like she was curious to see what was inside a person, which all manifested in graphic visions. This was consistent with the comic in Germany too.The Sam we've had in Rite of Spring throws all of that out of the window. She makes an absolute sloppy mess of everything, she's inviting trouble to her own backyard as Monica would never have found out anything if Sam hadn't goaded her into coming (which amounts to nothing in the end), and instead of doing her autistic routine has just become a generic slasher villain who can't even be bothered to stick around to watch the rival she got obsessed with die. I don't think she even had any of her hallucinations in this final issue. At this point she's surviving on pure dumb luck which is frustrating to read.Basically everything "cool" about Sam is gone, and the damage is too much that it can't be recovered now.
>>152709443This. I have absolutely no idea what the creator was thinking.
>>152709443i think it probably would have worked better if monica was in woodbrook and suspicious anyway, and sam had to figure out how to wrap up the loose end. and then frames her for something as other anons have suggested. that way sam doesn't look like a dummy for 'shitting where she eats'
>>152700528>>152700535So what's the moral here? I thought maybe she had a tragic backstory that caused her stress to build up or maybe she was bullied for being a carnivore and her appetite as a bear overconsuming her. But no. She kill fo fun and giggles. Am I supposed to sympathize with her? Cheer for her not to be caught?
>Sam settles down in a new town>one day, the visions come back>frequent glimpses of Monica's burnt up carcass glaring at her>Sam pays it no mind, just another hallucination after all>it's not
>>152709492The moral is "your killer is your series mascot, and you have to cancel any of your artistic visions for this horror series to instead milk your mascot for as long as possible".
>>152705278What’s the most thematically appropriate execution for her? My vote is Firing squad, since she’s a bear.
