I'm a bit sad we didn't get Fever Pitch's background panel.

Also, not only is Ned fixing Johnny's conspiracy jones, he is also violating the spirit and rules of hitball. He's betrayed his Burnhound brethren.

Ed can play it off as helping his team since Isabel was set to catch that ball, meaning Johnny would've been out.

Even though it's really obvious that he was doing a "Get down, Mr. President!" save for Isabel that she didn't need.

Also why is Johnny just recognizing Ed now when he was looking right at Isabel who was also hovering?

Because Ed's facing the camera in the picture they got, Isabel isn't. Though he'll probably tie Isabel in from Ed anyway.

Yeah even though it was like three panels on our end the train was probably going by pretty fast and the Gang was probably too busy freaking out to really get a good look.

They know about Max, and a redhead, and possibly recognized Spender when they saw the car, but weren't even looking for a girl or blond with glasses until now. They also mistook Jeff for Isaac like somewhere between once and twice so it's very possible they don't know the other kids much except for everyone's bullying to lunch money return ratio.

They know that Isaac's in there; Johnny's seen him do his thing before, and they refer to "the electric dorkupine" in the comic I linked up there. They were interrogating Jeff because they thought he was one of Max's friends and thus could get some more info from him, not because they thought he was Isaac.

Johnny knows that Issac has electricity powers and is Max's friend. But while telling his friends this stuff, he told Stephen to interrogate "the ginger with the hair", which he mistook to mean Jeff.

Oh, right. I forgot about that one; I was thinking of them interrogating Jeff at the start of this chapter. Thanks for the reminder.

Jed Burger took a hit for Isabel. This was a gently caress up because 1. Isabel was gonna catch the ball anyway and 2. Isabel is in the opposing team. So it's all very embarrassing and dumb.

Muse tells Zed that he chose a bad time for heroics and made himself look like a fool as a result. That's true, though Muse's explanation was that Ced needs to get swole first, while really he needs to get smart first.

Pretty sure getting smart just means having a swole brain. It's a muscle, after all.

Muse is, like other characters in this comic, an anime. It's a very shounen idea, that having good intentions is all well and good, but you need the skill and power to back it up.

By the blush of embarrassment, Isabel might think Ed has a crush on Isabel now. But yeah, that's a classic middle school awkward clingy friend moment. I was hoping he'd try to recover by claiming he was blocking the shot so Isabel wouldn't catch it, but here we are.

Let's not overlook Johnny could only match Ed to the photo while he was mid-air.
