Well if she can't outrun it, she should try suplexing it.

There's a flashing light in the distance of the last panel. Likely Spender and Forge fighting again.

Y'all getting slow at this poo poo: New comic!

Alt-text: You're 100 years too early to be speaking MY language!! Literally you need to have been alive for a century to speak the language. And also have been a spirit that whole time.

Translation: armored spirit

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
So, how likely is it that Spender's been holding back this whole time so that he just looks mediocre? His lines in this page are ringing as really insincere.

Given the alt-text, I wonder if being possessed by a spirit who speaks high spirit can give the medium the ability to speak it to? Or maybe there's something even weirder up with ol' Rick.

That's been my theory the entire time, as much as Spender is an egomaniac his only real reaction this entire time is when Forge thought he was the Strongest One There Is, so he figures if he almost goes down and makes a narrow escape then whoever told Forge that will presume they made a mistake and not connect him with The Strongest Spirit

I've seen it as him playing the weak one because fighting fully would involve ~the darkness within~. Lucifer is shown as using most of his energy to keep the Darkness at bay, so if he went super saiyan then it might cause problems.

By the way if anyone cares: I believe this was the last time we saw Spender before today. March 31 :stare:

Spender's lines don't read as insincere to me, he's genuinely dorky enough to play this "too cool to worry about being beaten in a fight" thing to the hilt, right up until the big metal monster starts burning a hole in his gut.

Next page will be Spender crying like a little girl.

He already is shedding a tear over his accent being bad before he sucks it up and goes all stoic again. I'm still going with the "super dorky probably won't be a secret badass" theory. Could be wrong though.

If he does have hidden reserves, I don't think he's gonna have a choice much longer. What's happening to him right now could get real lethal real fast.

I'll forever only know ol broken hearted Forge as Emo Fresh. It's too bad Zack took that joke out of the earlier comic just because some guy said it was similar to some meme or another, it was a good joke.

Okay, yeah, Forge and Spender trading long-winded tirades was a bit eye-rolling before but now it's getting funny.

Also Forge seems pretty easy to manipulate.

It seems like the conflict in this comic may be more about factions then anything else. Who knows what Doorman's group is up too. Could be good guys or grey area.

I just noticed how similar Forge's angel of life and beauty looks to the shadow spirit Lucifer is containing in Spender. Is someone trying to manipulate Forge into releasing it?

That's why I added the 'antagonist'. Stories that have the evil character(s) as the point of view have the hero(es) as the antagonist(s).

But Isaac also is kinda aligned with Doorman, looking to him for moral guidance and stuff. And we pretty much consider him one of the protagonists, don't we?

This story is shaping up to be one without sharply-defined groups, even. Factions overlap, etc.

I think it's almost guaranteed these two dorks will be forced to begrudgingly ally sooner or later, so I'm not too worried about moral conflicts at this point.

Isaac is either the brooding loner almost-antihero of the team, or he is the star of some alternate version of this comic to which Max is the brooding loner.

What about you, thread?
You got any tricks?
Spender has been a woman in disguise the whole time and is also the angel that Forge heard about. Spender's shirt will burn through to reveal barely-concealed cleavage, causing Forge to suffer an anime nosebleed and pass out. The transition to harem plotline begins.
