Their phones are the same colour as their spectral energy, except for Spender's (the generic light gray mini-tablet)

So yeah the anime one is Isaac's, because it's blue. The Burger Child is rocking the ancient Nokia brick, as befits his status as ambiguous orphan. Isabel and Max get flip phones, the coolest of all phones [when you're twelve]

If Hijack is in Spender then it makes sense for him to take Isabel with him to get revenge

Will Max be paired with someone or will he stay behind to shadow the principal?

Did I... did I miss anything important?
I was going to post that maybe Hijack is in Spender, for different reasons. Since he and Isabel are considered the most competent (except by Isaac) and Max is not only new but almost died last mission when Spender left him, it seems like an odd decision to pair up with her. The kids are clearly surprised too. Maybe they'll catch on.

e: If he's inside Spender, his plan might be to jump to Isabel.

It seems weird to pair Spender-Hijack with the most competent member of the group if he is indeed Hijack, but at the same time Isabel has implied she's actually incredibly loyal to Spender (either because he's done something to earn it or because she's desperate for an authority figure who doesn't emotionally abuse her) so maybe she'd be hesitant to actually act on any suspicions.

Man now I hope Spender isn't actually Hijack because both Issac and Isabel would be getting owned.

Hijack is not in spender and I bet he is nice and supportive to Isaac on a regular basis, but the kid tends to focus on the negative.

Considering the flashfowrard structure we're in here, that ain't happening.

I could see Spender being controlled and the weird eye moment being whatever's up with Garcia, but it still feels odd.

Agreed. The only time we've seen Spender act negatively towards Isaac has either been when Isaac was being a shithead teen to Spender first, and when Isaac tried asking about the Consortium.

Flip phones are great because it protects the screen from scratching on whatever stuff is in your pocket (like keys).

Huh, the kids' phones are all generally coloured similarly to their spectral energy. Isabel's got red, burger child has green, Max has black, Isaac's is blue-ish.

My god. I GET IT NOW. The colour of your spectral energy is determined by the colour of your phone. No wonder Spender said black spectral energy was quite common, most people just keep the generic black colour a lot of phones are these days.

Spectral energy colors the plastic on your phone, Isaac's phone used to be black

I still want to know what the deal with that is. The first page of this comic I saw was the one where Garcia is trying to bribe Max to not tell anyone about that incident. It got me interested enough to read the rest of the comic and figure out how we got to that point, but now it's like years later and I still don't know what that dude was doing floating down a river.

We know that he's borderline narcoleptic and Boss Leader's organization conducts meetings in their sleep, so those two things may be connected. Or maybe he's just a huge weirdo.
