Max calling out Issac is pretty ironic given that he's a hair and, at most a year, away from being a teenaged stereotype himself.

I think it's interesting that Zack seems to consistently have wrist problems. I wonder what exactly he's doing with his art that stresses out his wrist so much. When I took a few years of art classes they taught us to draw from the shoulder. I know the whole wrist vs. shoulder thing is controversial but if he's having this much trouble with his wrist then it might be worth switching up.

Yeah I dont mind him taking time off but it seems weird that it keeps happening compared to lots of other artists with comparable levels of detail in their comics with equal or more demanding schedules. I hope he doesn't have something more serious going on

Also his eyes are hidden and he seems nervous when Isabel says she's going to take out Hijack and he defends Hijack's taste in Wii Sports. So probably Spender yeah

Though I wouldn't put it past this comic for Hijack to still be in Jeff lol

I'd thought he was flinching at Isabelle saying she'd "take out" someone who enjoyed hurting people and pretended to have a good cause. Spender's in a bad place at the moment and his spirit guide telling him to stop consulting his moral teachers and start being more ruthless isn't helping.

Also Isabella literally described Forge, so Spender is probably drawing some very obvious parallels between her reaction and intentions towards Hijack and his towards Forge at the time.

But Forge is a nice guy who walked away from obvious weakling Spender to let him save the children he was sworn to protect.

He's not a bully who likes hurting people. :(

Hijack's eyes glow black with red pupils, so he's probably in someone whose eyes are obscured. Though it's possible he can just make his eyes look normal who knows

The dog at the beginning had normal-looking eyes.

Eyes started to change when Hijack started looking for a new vessel, but even then the change on the dog's eyes was less than on Jeff's.

I wonder how Max knows all this about Hijack? I poked around the archives, and I couldn't find any point where Hijack was making weird conversation with Max. I did find out that this isn't the first time that Max has known weird details about someone that he had no way of knowing.

Also for some reason the website is chugging for me, which makes reading the archives really hard, especially since Hitball goes on foreveeeeeer. At least Max still does some neat goofs in between the anime fight sequences. Also he's STILL wearing that stupid flower.

He knows all about Hijack's house and Wii Sports because Hijack invite Max to come to his house and play Wii Sports. And he knows Hijack's a raisin with a belief system because he's seen Hijack and has heard all about the belief system in detail.

Well, sort of. He liked hurting Spender (gave him that wonderful foot-shaped burn on his chest). My read on that is because he saw a younger version of himself in Spender, apt to do bad things for causes that he believed at the time to qualify as "the greater good" but which end up just blackening his soul and weighing down his conscience. Basically, they're both on the same character arc, just on different points, and Forge is self-aware enough to realize it.

I don't think you could extrapolate the glee he took at hurting Spender to a general sadism, though - it was obviously very targeted.
