I love how the dramatic lighting goes from yellow to red as Spender turns it off - and that it happens when he gives the bad news.

Tell your friends we're coming for them

OK I completely cracked up at the fourth panel of today's page.


Also I really like the lighter text Zach uses for whispering, has he been doing that the whole time? It's really simple and effective. I think the parentheses he used in the dialogue were really extraneous actually.

It also took me way too long to realize that the building is probably Isabel's grandpa's house. Look at all those spectral energies though!

Almost certainly - look at the guy in the background on the fourth panel. That's a trainee.

This fight scene is good. Like, really good. I refuse to believe Zach is human.

NO THAT'S NOT ME!!

You can see their giant plumes of spiritual energy billowing out from the side of the house in the previous page. Makes me think the other wisps of spritiual energy are students practising in their rooms.

Also, today, I moused over the 8th panel just after reading the text and it was perfect. How do I always mouse over for alt text right at the perfect moment? It just makes the alt text so much more awesome. :allears:

I'm almost positive this fight scene is a reference to a fight manga, possibly Holyland? I've seen that particular punch -> kick -> punch exposed face move before.

I can't really see him being humbled by or learning any lessons from getting beaten up some some girl he doesn't even know.

Yeah, it looks like she sets it up in panel 7 and then uses it to pull Girlgeta off balance for that spectral kick.

I think girlgeta has grabbed onto Isabel's energy and is going to give her the spectral version of a ponytail yank.

Oh yeah, Geta's going to haul on that spectral cord and send Isabel spinning the other way, probably right into a strike. Do we have an emote for a sympathetic wince?

Not gonna lie. When you said that, I went back to look again and was kinda hoping that the onomatopoeia was actually "SPECTRAL".

Hey guys, so the update for today (12/9) was giving me some difficulty and I decided to go back and rework it rather than put up something that I wouldn’t be happy with in the archives. So Monday’s update will instead go up on Wednesday the 11th, and Friday’s update will go up as normal. Sorry and thanks for your understanding!!

Hmm, I'm guessing the anime looking girl to Isabel's left is going to become more than a background character, possibly even a rival to Isabel.

Looks like I called it.

Scanning the comments section tells me her official name is Scabs, but I have no idea where this was sourced or how true it is.

A little elucidation as to the relationship between Ed and Isabel there. They don't appear to be related, at least in any sense that Gramps feels responsible for him. Now the question becomes why he's living with them...
