I'm hoping the subway is a stage because Flipflop is a street performer, and break-dances by activating his powers really quickly.

From the next strip, "The power to not have or respect magnet powers" is still one of my favorite lines. Boss Leader is great in general, really.

This and the following pages made me think - maybe some of the people we've seen using spirits were the Cousinhood members? Like Dimitri for example. There should be two fractions at work in Mayview.

Possibly, though it seems more likely that Dimitri was previously in the Club or something, given certain hints. Though I suppose him having been in the Club in the past doesn't rule out him being with someone else now. I dunno.

Unrelated, that link got me to start reading things from there, and I just noticed something I somehow missed on this page: Isabel mentions the dream hub. So, I guess her and Ed have met Boss Leader at some point, and other agents and such as well, among other things. That's interesting. Not sure how I missed it before.

If the Cousinhood turns out to be a notable faction in the plot, it might be neat if one of the kids joined them or was already working for them. Maybe they could get to Johnny first? More than likely he'll actually be joining the club at some point but Zack could get some mileage out of lining up Max and Johnny's rivalry with the rivalry between the Cousinhood and Spender/the Consortium.

It's still kind of unclear what sort of organization those guys even are, but it'll be neat to see how other humans handle the whole spirit world business. Hard to believe in a world of ghost powers there'd be just one organization with a monopoly on that power.

I dunno, considering that he's already keeping details from Isaac, I don't think Spender's gonna welcome somebody possessed by Forge with open arms. Unless Max takes his ball and goes home, and I don't think he will, he and Johnny are probably destined to be on opposite sides for a while longer.

I think Spender would "welcome" him, he'd just give him the same treatment he gives Issac more or less. But Johnny isn't Issac and probably won't take that sort of secrecy in stride.

Dmitri, maybe? He was there when Max got the note, he knows "the secret", last we saw he was messing with Suzy but he wasn't there anymore last we saw of her. Depending on his Spectral status he might've been able to put the Doctopus on Max too. I don't think it can be PJ and Lefty since when the note gets put in Max's pocket it shows both a shadowy left and right hand carrying it and PJ can't interact with the real world.

It's none of Johnny's gang, Violet, Lisa, Cody, Jeff, Suzy or Collin.

My guess is it's the Shockhound girl with the pink "Prefers Science Class" shirt. The silhouette especially in today's comic looks a bit chubby, and she's already been established to be at the school store bar. Also, she does know one of max's secrets.

You know, even two years (!!!!!!) later, it still bothers me how much people misinterpret what we're supposed to learn about Cody in this page.

Look, you can try to be politically correct all you want, but it's obvious to anyone with eyes that he's left-handed.
