The character art's really good on this page, although I just noticed all the backgrounds are gradients. This is going to be one great game of Hitball.

The crowd's filled out with a lot of extras we haven't seen before, but I'm going to assume none of them will be even supporting characters like Jeff and Cody.

Y'know, most stories don't intend for you to love the bully characters as much as the protagonists. But goddamn is Johnny's entire group great.

Has Johnny worn that shirt before? I'm just having trouble reading the visible text on it.

It looks like it's a heart surrounding two lines of text. First line starts with a 'U', it seems like. Either that or it's two vertical lines, so it could be an "I" and an "L". The second starts with 'me'.

If Johnny is wearing a shirt that says "I love me." :allears:

Actually, if you look back a page you can see most of the supporting characters. Jeff is crouched way in the back, news crew is to the left of Isabel, Violet and Lisa are sitting in the front. The only one I'm not 100% on is Cody, though I think that's him standing next to Jeff.

Oh sure, there's all the established students, but there's also a bunch of extras filling out the scene too. Although I guess it's been previously established that sometimes background students are actually ghosts or spirits.

It'd be funny if Johnny starts being able to see spirits and ghosts while picking teams and tries to pick a student that isn't real.

I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.

I haven't seen Isaac there yet, otherwise I'd expect Isabel to pass over Isaac (not a team player, he'd take it as an insult), allowing Johnny to swoop in and manipulate him with the power of friendship and/or bullying.

This would be funny, but also a very quick possession-to-spectral turnaround.

The title page hints that it's going to happen sometime during HITBALL anyways since there's gray spectral energy coming off a dodgeball. It's also possible that it's smoke but then dodgeballs don't normally do that.

Good question. I'm torn on what I think could happen. On the one hand, he could pick Max so he can try to grill him over what he saw. On the other, he might not just so he can bully him via hitball to the head. Either way, it'll be a good game, I'm sure.

Johnny is an artist, an auteur.

Of course he's going to pick Max.

I have been wrong about a lot of things so far in this comic, so don't bet money on that.

Nah, Johnny won't pick Max, because that means Isabel can't pick Max before Ed and cause way more middle school drama.

Just realized that in the panel where the coach is calling for Isabel, that guy to Isabel's left looks like some sort of juvenile Spender.
