Yeah. Me and a few people have said before his two spirits are probably a Darkness and Light spirit. i mean, just look at this page here, it seems pretty black and white to me.

You know, if Max and Forge have to fight, that's gonna end up pretty one-sided.

Speaking of magnetism, Isaac mentions that most stuff Max could grab or throw magnetically would go right through a spirit, but I wonder if he just could grab some metallic and pointy non-black tool from the archive to remote-stab spirits with, just for its spiritual solidity.

(I mostly just like the image of Max going into a fight with a little cloud of miscellaneous metallic household objects orbiting his head)

Black and yellow, more like.

I think it may just be possible that Spender is somehow using a spirit of a color that doesn't match his normal spectral powers, which may be why he's not alright in the head.

Max's reaction to Spender's "Listen, Max-" had me giggling for like a solid minute.

Also I love how the background colors change to fit the mood of what's going on in the panel.

is that good

While we're looking at old pages of Paranatural, I wonder if Max is fighting off possession here. The eye glows look familiar.

And even further back on this page in the "could actually... be..." panel it looks like there's a very faint design of the magnet snake in Max's face?

He comments that his mind is a delicate balance after freaking out over Isabel offering him a tool he thought would be yellow (turns out it was a frosty pink).

It's because he's got a Light Ghost and a Dark ghost. He's anime so he's gotta be the balance of twilight.

I have never seen a comic portray difficulty hearing someone speaking away from the listener by having their model obstruct the speech bubble.

That's a pretty nifty.

Dunno how it starts, but looks like "...you all up early to get your homework done..." looks like the last bit starts with an e, and I don't think there's enough room for it to be properly.

So really he's a big jerk.

He's probably saying that he was going to get everyone up early tomorrow morning to make sure they get their homework done.

Max really looks better with his hat. He is one of the lucky few. Maybe it's because he doesn't have an anime haircut.

Hmm... Would Max wear a helmet?

I'd be really surprised if he wasn't referencing that. Unless "death metal mantis" is a common thought that people have when coming up with pretend music groups.

I don't think it is. Look at the panel where it's scuttling down the wall. The lighting doesn't change from how it looked when it was on the cieling.
