The webcomic "What Happens Next" is a series created by Max "maximum" Graves that originated in 2021. The storyline revolves around the murder of 16-year-old Haylie Gorski, which took place eight years before most of the comic is set. The main character, Milo Holliday, was an accomplice to the murder as a young teen and now struggles with the guilt he feels from his involvement in the crime.

The webcomic explores various themes, including toxic social justice inherited from the criminal justice system and the use of soft aesthetics and victim complexes by bad people to portray themselves as survivors instead of perpetrators. Milo often incorporates childish themes and pastels into his portrayal, highlighting the contrast between his appearance and his actions.

The webcomic contains deliberate anachronistic references to pop culture, aiming to evoke the feeling of modern internet spaces rather than being technically accurate with regards to time. Milo sawed Haylies arms off after her death so Griffin could try to incinerate the body, showcasing the dark and disturbing aspects of the story.

The webcomic has gained popularity and positive feedback from readers, with some praising its quality and exceeding their expectations. The latest installment of the webcomic can be read at the following link: https://whathappensnext.webcomic.ws/comics/781#content-start.
