Homestuck, the sprawling web epic spanning over 8,000 pages, concluded its run today.

The comic, created by Andrew Hussie, follows the adventures of 4 kids who unwittingly unleash the end of the world by playing a beta of fictional computer game Sburb.As impressive as the comic is in its scale, it spawned an even more impressive fan base during its tenure. The strain placed on Newgrounds' servers when one Homestuck Flash animation posted caused the site to crash in 2011.At over 800,000 words spanning comics, animations, gif, and chat logs, the comic almost has more in common with the classic epics of old in scale alone. According to a report on Kotaku , Hussie plans to publish an epilogue in the future.The final Homestuck, a 9 minute animated short titled [S] ACT 7, was posted to the site today, exactly 7 years after the webcomic first launched."Seven acts in seven years," Hussie wrote on the Homestuck site, "to finish a sprawling 'creation myth about kids in houses.'"
