I guess I don't get why he's angry. She's wearing the suit, it's obvious she's an agent. And Spender could be a friend with an agent for all he knows.

To be fair, they were told of the mission almost a year ago.

Right here, as well as all through the chapter where Doorman is introduced since Isaac just kinda slips into anime mode arbitrarily.

What Spender is concealing from Isaac is that Isaac was never human at all

He's a Shounen Elemental

I'm getting the sense that Agent Day isn't as benevolent as her first impression wanted us to think.

This page is a pretty effective recap of all the current plot threads: Max is staring down Day trying to figure out why she's here and what it could mean, Isabel is concerned for her mentor who's visibly not handling it well and still working through losing Eightfold, Ed knows something happened with Isabel and is worried about it, Isaac is off stewing about being left out yet again.

I like that Issac is the only one who isn't given any kind of focus at all, and the two panels he's visible in are framed to really make him feel distant and isolated from everyone else.

I'm kind of wondering if he's not going to rage-quit at some point. Though he might be afraid that if he does, Spender's unknown buddies (or Spender himself) will hunt him down. If/when we see more of the other groups I wouldn't be surprised to see him jump ship to a team that seems to appreciate him more.

It sounds like the Doorman's been grooming him and might be hoping to recruit him for whatever conspiracy he's got going on with Forge.

But yeah, the composition of the latest page was really good. I particularly liked the way it flowed from Day to Max looking at Day to Isabel sitting next to Max and staring at Sepnder to Spender himself, very smooth.

Well, it's almost as long as all the previous chapters combined, so at this point you're really just judging Paranatural itself. (It's the best)

As far as her design is concerned, if you see a :h: somewhere, it's probably intentional. Look at how she does her hair in a bun, too.

Don't know how I missed that, they even made a news post about it with the comic. :ughh:

AnonSpore posted:

Same guys, different comic. Three Panel Soul is a lot less connected than even Mac Hall was. They're still pretty great, Jo (the mage in the linked panel) and Death are becoming regulars, but there's still a lot of comics on random things like becoming a parent and so on.

They put Mac Hall back up as a PDF so people wouldn't have to spend $60-$250 for the book just to read it since the original site doesn't work very well.

What about you, thread?

I'm surprised that Max was willing to get back on the train without a fight. It's been established that the train is one of a very small number of methods that allow him to leave town and also that his mother's ghost will fade over time. He has no reason to think that he can just take the train whenever he wants and he just had a dream reminding him of his mom, so I figured he'd do his best to take off.

Max is fairly level-headed. Running off alone into the big, bad world is risky enough for a kid who isn't involved in spectral stuff, and at the moment he probably has no reason to believe he'll be denied if he asks Spender to let him out of Mayview.

He's already got a planned trip with his family coming up. If he can't get out for that, that might cause some friction and reckless behavior.

He's also a kid with no ability to travel, acquire food or shelter. And if he gets reported missing and a cop finds him and drives him back to Mayview, well then, he's just as dead as his mom isn't he?

Oh come on guys, it's easy, we already had the solution presented to us. What Max needs is teleportation.

Which character in the story so far has the explicit power to teleport people?
