Three years after its conclusion, influential web comic Homestuck has an official sequel, with a full story outline and the blessing of the series' original creator.

First there was Homestuck, running from 2009 to 2016, then the 18-part Homestuck Epilogues, launched immediately afterwards; now there's Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon which, counter to its own name, actually is canon – or, at least, mostly.
