(click the image!) So, What is this Paranatural thing anyway? Well, in the words of author Zack Morrison: quote:Paranatural is best described as “X-Men meets Ghostbusters except everyone’s twelve.” It’s a comedy/action comic about a group of middle school kids with ghostly superpowers fighting evil spirits and investigating paranormal activity in their hometown. Paranatural began in the summer of 2010 and, as of 2012, updates Fridays. Lots of comics say they are "comedy/action". What makes it special? Don't just rely in me, let's see what goons have to say. Oxxidation posted:I love this comic so much I want to give it kisses. That good enough? After a year of semi-erratic comic postings (including a break for almost a month to build an ark) we finally have a set update schedule! They have been great at keeping it up so far, even in the face of family holidays or computer mishaps. The wait for updates was lessened, finally, as Paranatural is now updating Further Links: https://twitter.com/paranaturalzack -zack's twitter, where they will talk to people and showcase their real masterwork Supernormal, as well as comic news and events too small to get a full newspost. http://firstnamezacklastnamemorrison.tumblr.com/ - their tumblr, featuring bonus drawings and the incredible adventures of TEENZACK w4gDLRe46w0- watch zack draw! http://midnighttelevision.deviantart.com/ -zack's former deviantart, contains all the comics created so far, plus tons of banners and bonus material. It's all good. Give Zack Money PATREON for unfinished sketches, secret projects, etc. You know you want to! Who doesn't want 'clothing' brand t-shirts. You can buy them at the Paranatural store! Donate and receive a cool wallpaper! More stuff to come. Any suggestions? Have fun! tinaun fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jul 3, 2020 |

There was a month long pause to build an ark?

That time-lapse video of him drawing a page still blows my mind every time I watch it.

I can forgive the sparse updates, though. Zack Morrison is, like, 19 or something and he's focusing on school so good on him. Also, I tweeted at him a few times and he's a big ol' sweety.

Paranatural blew my mind so hard my hair dye liquified. It has powers. Super powers. Superfly powers. There is nothing this comic can't do. Also it reminds me of Earthbound and that's never bad.

The fact that this comic updates only once a week causes me physical pain.

This comic. I love his utter dedication to destroying everything cliché. And his face-drawing skills.

Avant-garde bullyism is a thing that needs an essay.

Hey Johnny, should more people read this comic?

Johnny is the light of my life. Also Suzy, to a slightly lesser degree.

gently caress yeah, this thread is just what is needed. Seriously, Paranatural absolutely owns. Good plotting, great art, amazing dialogue, and the creator is like fresh out of high school. I don't like using the word "talent" because it implies that the person didn't bust their rear end for the level of skill that they have. But this good, this young? That's a drat gift, and I am really looking forward to what he will crank out after he has had those years of work to hone his skill.

I'd buy a good portion of the clothes Zack Morrison designs. I would wear the "CLOTHING" shirt to tatters.

# ? Jan 30, 2013 05:13 |
|
I agree. To the extent that the webcomic business is pretty much actually the shirt business, I think there's a lot of profit potential here. Somebody get him on the line with Topatoco.

What I like best about the art in Paranatural is how animated it feels. Stuff like this: Also my favorite Johnny line:

Paranatural owns, everyone should read it, blah blah blah, you know the drill. Anyways, the thread title should read Paranatural: A Primer on Avant-Garde Bullying to better reflect the main/best content in the comic.

I'm undecided if Suzy is treating Max like that because she's driven by her journalistic desire to shine a light on the dark in the corners of the school... Or because she's trying to hide a crush on him. Probably both. Edit: Also, the person who deserves more love is Jeff.

Suzy and Johnny are both amazing. They should grow up to make a kid together. Their offspring would be the Kwisatz Haderach of hilarious obnoxiousness.

I can't wait to see all of them form a team, it will probably happen and it's gonna be glorious.

It's probably worth noting that the comic starts a little slow; the first few pages in particular have very little of the charm that the rest of the comic oozes, both from the art and the writing. By halfway through the first chapter it's in full swing, though, and from then on it's hard to put down! Basically it is a Good Comic and I want more. All the time. Zack draw the comic.
