Isaac is unwilling to embarrass himself by publicly gushing about his favorite anime (although I'm not really sure why) so he's gushing about Law and Order instead, only it's obvious he's really thinking about something else because the boy can't do subtle.

Not exactly sure how you expected that to go Isaac good buddy. Part of your personal grudge is that you're the odd man out in the club. Edit: One of my favorite plot points in this comic is continued conflict between Isaac and Isabel, so this is a good page for my interests.

i feel like the tone here implies we should be sympathizing with isabel, but like, isaac is completely right that everyone shits on him all the time and eggs him on. isabel says as much at the start of the chapter when she's walking to school with max. basically everyone seems to acknowledge that isaac has issues - which is good - and then just shrugs and says "I wasn't ever that close to him in the first place so i don't feel the need to go out of my way to help him". which is fine for any given person but everyone's doing it or has done it pre-chapter 1, and it's rough to watch like i wonder if Zak's intended meta-goal for isaac is for the audience to sorta laugh at him since he's a big brooding dork but i really just feel bad at him

Isaac is a big insecure dork. He overreacts to things, loves nerdy things but is ashamed by them so tries to hide it, and has so little experience with friendship that he misunderstands it badly. Isabel on the other hand knows Isaac is a dork, knows he overreacts, and after the guy didn't chill out decided the best course of action was to keep pushing his buttons and hope he'd eventually "get it". Unfortunately, this just feeds Isaac's persecution narrative, and makes you a bully in his mind, so he starts attributing motivations to Isabel that she never had. I like this little back and forth, but like most things in this comic, it's a slow burn. Drunk Theory fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Aug 29, 2017 |

Yeah I sympathize more with Isaac here but Spender's bad mentorship is kind of the root cause. Everyone else shits on him a bit in that they're kids and that's what kids tend to do and Isaac usually doesn't help that but being unpleasant himself, but in his perspective the others doing that is going to have a lot different tone when it's members of a club where the leader is intentionally keeping him in the dark on things. Max's "agent" slip also made it appear to him that even the guy who's only been there a couple days has joined in on it.

This just reminds me that I'm almost as curious as Isaac himself as to why they need to be so secretive with him that they can't even tell him why they're not telling him things. Or at least inform that it isn't personal. I almost expect the answer to be "because Spender is a dumbass" but I also expect Isaac's spirit/ghost to be involved. But mostly Spender being a dumbass.

It's not like the spirits are especially smart (Isaac's especially) or likely to do anything with the knowledge, Spender just wants to be an MIB just like he wants to be a toughguy who wins fights and never has to see a doctor

Slime posted:the real hijack was the friends we made along the way I thought that Spender was keeping the fact that he has a spirit inside him from Boss Leader and the Onesie Group because then they'd kick him out of their club and he'd lose access to their resources and information. From the way Boss Leader firmly shut down Max when he asked if they could inform Isaac about things, the problem was less with Isaac and more with them not liking those possessed by spirits. Like you said, Spender could've simply talked with Isaac that it's his spirit they don't trust, but he's been shown to deflect questions or even outright ignore it. Which is why I think Spender's a tremendous hypocrite and a terrible teacher because he has to be aware that what he's doing to Isaac is what the Consortium would do to him if they knew he had a spirit in him. Though it's kind of amusing that Max only joined the club for the past day or so and it's already very nearly about to implode.

*checks the wiki* Huh...you're right, they actually do have a medium. It's been so long since I re-read the comic that I forgot this guy existed. I've checked the page and it seemed like his possession and transformation was recent and he's worried people see that instead of him as a person? But if they have a medium working for them, then I don't know why the Consortium wouldn't tell Isaac anything, or why Spender keeps his status as a medium a secret.

I suspect it has a lot to do with which spirits are contained. Like, if Isabel had decided to become a host for Eightfold ( ) then there wouldn't be much of a problem, but Johnny, host of Known-Consortium-Not-Liker Forge, might have a bit more trouble.

It's an enemy of the Consortium and all. Spender likewise is host to a thing they probably really wouldn't like either. On the other hand the lizard-man is host to a known and accepted thing, so no one cares. Or, maybe he'll be barred from some things, but it's not enough of a problem to bar him from everything at least. Also, he's an adult, not a child.
