Don't worry, PJ, this is probably just foreshadowing how you will eventually save the day, just you wait.

PJ just needs to wait a few decades and he'll become the White Lantern :v:

Real Talk tho, it's established in chapter one that ghosts get spectral powers, possibly unique ones, (butterfly dude) so I'm guessing peej will save the day or something.

Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.
I guess nobody's told PJ that Bruce Willis was dead all along.

He specifically said before the beginning. Bruce Willis is alive in the opening scene.

It's really a sad thing for someone to say. People tend to think of themselves as being the hero, or at least the protagonist, of their own story.

I wonder if Max is going to die. The way PJphrases "Not before the story starts" feels so ominous.

I kind of doubt it. It would be a huge departure in tone from the comic up to this point, and Zach's attitude towards the comic suggests he wouldn't really want to change it away from that.

My guess is more that this will lead in to a quick look at PJ's background, which might establish whatever goals he might have as the story goes forward.

I have a feeling we're going to see PJ do great things someday.

Thank you for reposting this and reminding me of the next page, which features two characters I REALLY hope we see more of: Swooning Scientist Lady and Multi-Jointed Woman.

I bet Science Lady is the only person who thinks Spender is even remotely cool. :3:

Do you mean a ghost wielding a tool would look really silly, since it would just be a floating object. Or do you mean the fact that since a ghost is all spectral energy that the tool would completely devour them?

The next panel is probably going to be Spender telling Max that ghosts can't wield poo poo. Also this page was sorta boring but I think a lot of the PJ pages drag, so hopefully we'll just get a sharp cut away on Friday!

Or that PJ isn't a poltergeist so he couldn't actually lift his tool?

Pretty sure Batman's only died like once.

And Angel and Invisible Girl have more powers.

Couldn't PJ move the bat back in chapter 2 or so? Being possessed makes tools tangible to spirits, so they can be weapons against them (and not, say, random bits of metal Max might want to magnetise).


Edit: He could. http://paranatural.net/chapter-2-page-5/

Also, I asked Zack on Twitter if science lady and multi-jointed woman will appear again later and if Suzy will be in this chapter. The former "may pop up again!!", and Suzy isn't in this chapter but "she's in the next one a good deal, though".

The second. It's also possible that using a tool would shorten a ghost's lifespan since they don't seem to be able to replenish their spectral energy (which would be why they fade over time).

The current theory is that Mr Spender has no problem giving away information, just not in front of Isaac (or more accurately the spirit possessing Isaac).
