Oh god, I thought she just controlled paper but these things are "alive"!?

I wonder what the horse's name is?

Also, I haven't seen one of those paper fortune tellers since middle school. So many memories :allears:.

Nah, I think it's just Eightfold that's alive. Everything else is just controlled paper. Although the horse could have been Eightfold in another form, for all we know. Doubt it though, there were no eyes.

I really enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which was, I think, the first of its kind. Though it's sort of great just because Pride and Prejudice is a great story. The zombie parts seem kind of tacked on, but deliberately so, so that you really get to appreciate how good the original work was. I'd never have read Pride and prejudice if someone hasn't got me the "...and Zombies" version as a gift, so the author definitely succeeded in his intent. :v:

Turning Elizabeth's friend into a zombie is also a nice little bit of satire on how she just kinda drops out of the story in the original once she gets married, it has a few nice little moments like that.

Doesn't she show up a few times to talk about how great it is being married to a rich twit so long as you never ever interact with him ever?

I wonder if eightfold looks the same in vision form, or if she's just restricted to manifesting via her powers and does a close approximation.

That book looks a bit weird. Maybe it's half-eaten already.

She might just be suggesting to Isabel that she's sounding like her grandfather, which based on what we've seen, is likely to ruffle her feathers.

Yeah, I'm almost certain we're just meant to read that as a "you're turning into your (grand)parents!" thing.

Also Buzzinga is hilarious and even though Zack was joking I kind of want to see a drawing of it anyway.

Good thing Eightfold only ever goes back into her book. Imagine the damage she could do if she went into some device connected to the Internet...

On second thought, it could be harnessed for good, if she agreed to only eat Youtube comments.

So considering these two comics, we can safely assume Spender's power is light manipulation, right? It makes sense for a Sunglasses tool, too.

Sounds likely, though those could also just be generic spectral energy like Isabel is using in the second link.
