Hah! Awesome, but it took me a few reads to understand what was going on.

Spender is using his shadow like a carpet, then pulling it out from under Forge

I doubt he hasn't been waiting for a chance to use that trick ever since last week when Isabel dunked on Isaac while sparring exactly the same way :v:

The best part is that he is creating that shadow by using the light he stole from his eyes in the previous page.

The most ridiculous part of this thing is Spender keeping his right hand behind his back like the smuggest dork the whole time.

I wouldn't be surprised if that fist was necessary for the shadow-manipulation.

This is the sleeve I have chosen.
He's got that hand grabbing the shadow of Forge's weapon in the last panel, so I reckon that he needs one hand to select which shadow the power is set to so he can use the glowy hand to direct it.

Oh, bit late, but this page answered our earlier questions about the ghost train. Some, at least; apparently it is a poltergeist and is... Pseudo-physical? The spear made from its metal is phasing through that stone, and of course there's Zack's comment. Still some mystery here, but at least the poltergeist question is answered.

It looks like when he redid the website it broke the RSS feed too, so that may have been part of that.

It was a switch to a new RSS feed due to the site change, rather than it breaking, according to his latest post. Anyone who was subscribed to the old one will need to subscribe to the new one; the old one isn't going to be "fixed".

Pretty sure the train is a tool, so it's a real train that's been possessed. The power of the ghost train is that it can move anything out of its path, including the barrier around Mayview; if it decides it wants to go underground it just moves the ground out of the way.

I guess we're going to find out what happens when part of a tool is separated from the conceptual "main" part.

He's been around for a while, apparently. Maybe he's done some bad things in the past that he's not proud of.

Or maybe he did one bad thing that he's not proud of, considering that he uses the same word twice in conjunction. He might not be as "fluent" as those dogs were in the language.

It's just one word. Page One, Word One. "Really?" The skulls are pairs, a page reference then a word reference on that page. Long horns are 50, short horns are 10. Each tooth is 1.

Yes, Zack, we figured out Shadow Powers already. Those are some good sound effects, though.

There seems to be some debate in the comments on the page as to exactly what effect this attack will have on Forge.

I'm gonna guess he wasn't aiming for Forge, but for one of the horrible helldogs.

I mean Manvil is a spirit right, who says that he isn't really just a flame spirit piloting a metal body he has been reinforcing over the centuries? This is all some weird setup between himself and Spencer that they made up on the spot in order to draw out the immortal sprite dog. He'll fake his death and after Spencer subdues the dog he'll just pick his head up and put it back on his body and keep on being awesome. :ohdear:

Uh oh. Looks like the reports of Spender being badass (despite his total failure to appear so) were exaggerated. I'm guessing he was involved in the defeating of the "strongest spirit", but not really responsible, and ended up having to cope with its possession by employing his caged bird spirit.
