I would think so, looking back on this panel. I didn't notice the first read, but he's flicking away the light rather than turning it off.

Zack was sick and didn't make a normal page, but a new Supernormal is a good substitute. Man, of course Max's dad sells anime shades. Obvious when you think about it.

MikeJF posted:Days to recover? I wonder what the damage is. Wait. Now I'm confused. "Since your spirit is out of your tool, didn't you just lose your powers?" "Yeah, for now, no big, Eightfold only takes a few days to recover" then "Gonna need your powers for whatever Spender wants us to do after school". Doesn't the first exchange mean it'd take her a few days for Eightfold to give her her powers again? Or something?

rotinaj posted:Wait. Now I'm confused. Dunno. It may just mean that it's a few days for Eightfold to be strong enough to manifest physically again. As being a 'weak' spirit she doesn't need much energy to recover from the suicide. Guess we'll find out though.

This implies that Eightfold is hanging around powering Isabel's tool because she wants to, because otherwise she would have scarpered by now.

Splicer posted:This implies that Eightfold is hanging around powering Isabel's tool because she wants to, because otherwise she would have scarpered by now. I think I saw a comment by Zach that said he'd expand more on the different types of relationships spectrals have with their spirits. But I'd hazard a guess that Eightfold's situation is that she's a weak spirit on her own, and thus it's more beneficial for her to be in tool form. Isabel provides food/protection/energy, and in exchange she get's to use Eightfold's paper manipulation power, of which Isabel seems capable of using to greater effect than Eightfold. It's also possible that Eightfold isn't capable of using her power on as grand a scale as Isabel does because she lacks the energy, which Izabel provides. I can also imagine that stronger spirits might be able to provide stronger effects with thier powers, though with increased risk of being less cooperative or even downright hostile. Such as was implied with Mr. Spender warning Max about his spirit eating him. I don't think that's such a risk with Isabel's situation.

We've already seen how hostile spirits/ghosts prey on smaller or lesser ones. Additionally from the whole Doorman saga we know there are some really scary freaking spirits out there. Eightfold gets a nice home, gets to kick butts, and eat as many books as she wants. Would YOU leave that behind to chance the world at large?

On the other hand, she has to ritualistically kill herself on command every now and then, and that probably sucks a bit.

Has a massive hammer, armour, an anvil-like head and what looks to be a furnace in his chest. I'm guessing some kind of forge spirit?

The ghost train of the title is a metaphor. This is an entirely different ghost train.

Huh, it's actually pretty readable, my brain just clicked into it. Panel 4: "You're late", panel 8: "You failed", panel 10: "No" "Look"

I love how, if you know the trick, it's pretty simple to read the spirit-speech without a cipher. Panel 4: You're late. Panel 8: You failed. Panel 10: No Look Edit: Beaten.
