Another 1? Aww man...
I'll admit it: I'm hype for the finale of hitball.

Hijack having a moment of reflection on the oddity of language was entertaining.

I'll take that bet. I bet Max doesn't move out of the way of the ball this time.

Max seems to have calculated having Johnny behind him and Jeff expecting him to get out of the way again. He must have a plan to stop the ball somehow.

I'd expect him to pull some kind of spectral move like Dimitri did back when HiJeff started hurling cannonballs around.

Does he know any? Max can barely even fire a spec shot. Most the good he's done has been down to flippy tricks and general mental acuity.

Max can use his magnet powers just fine, though. Odds are Johnny will be able to use his forge powers from jump.

Oh gross I just realized what all the veiny stuff on Jeff probably is. I think it's puppet strings, underneath his skin.

He would need a spirit to do that, and he doesn't have the bat with him.

Aren't magnet powers from his bat, though? And is that ball made of metal?

E: I may have misread. I thought you meant he would be using his magnet powers on the ball to catch it.

Jeff secretly has sick vascularity. If he worked out he could be veiny all the time without Hijack's help. :v:

I can't tell if the comic is parodying itself or if Zack thinks it's genuinely exciting to get a triple update consisting mostly of uninteresting monologue while moving things forward exactly not at all.

He set off to parody shonen anime pacing but at the end he's even worse at it.

I suspect the triple update is because he knows nothing happened and didn't want to stretch it across three update days.

That's more or less what he said, that the pages went better together so he did a big update. However, that also really makes me think we're getting a "save by the bell" moment next update.

After Chapter 4 ended he said that it would be the longest chapter in Paranatural.

We're at 76 pages for Chapter 5 and I don't think we're even near the climax of it.

I remember when J.K. Rowling said the fourth Harry Potter book would be the longest.
Maybe he's making fun of her.
