I can’t believe we’re getting vampires in this. It’s completely putting me off from the grounded world Zach has spent years building.

You mean the years of worldbuilding a Cousinhood of Man that's interested in Mayview because they think it contains half-human monsters they are sworn to destroy?

I hope that as the ludicrous supernatural events in this comic continue to unfold, Stephen continues to miraculously miss out on witnessing them until his fringe conspiracy theories are just common knowledge to everyone else

I don't think he's a spectral. I also feel like the "diet high in citrus" thing was a throwaway joke. He's probably a werewolf, though.

Garcia definitely has *some* kind of power considering how his interaction with Issac played out http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-199 http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-200

Unlike the other wind blast (which just brushed off him like uhhhh wind) and the electricity (which he just defused with orange juice) this one he actively bounces back

Yeah if they actually murder and eat/drink Ritz (I doubt they will, it would be a jarring tone shift for this comic), the Cousinhood is 100% justified in barging their way into town. Hell, BL even mentions that they're looking for "their dwindling prey," which implies they're good at their jobs.

I just look at it as the difference between the cops clearly enjoying the whole experience of being fed on, and Ritz getting jumped under the bridge. Granted Ritz might come out of this enjoying the whole experience I feel like Mayfield really does need someone to root out this problem.

Yeah but Gage said he doesn't want a human friend. The cops are thralls, I'm pretty sure, and Gage said they're not supposed to make those. But they just revealed that they're vampires to Ritz, and obviously she can't just walk away with that knowledge unless she is compelled to be friends with them. So they're going to try to kill her.

This makes sense since Cody's dad is the big honcho that he would have minions. (apart from the stripper cops)

There is a middle ground that involves locking people up in basements and using them as a blood farm. But I like the "Ritz escapes" option because it sidesteps killing a character.

Eightfold isn't dead and Hijack got an entire chapter dedicated to him before he (probably) died (off-screen). Paranatural just isn't the kind of comic so far where characters get introduced and then get got so wantonly and brutally. The fact you can only cite two as having "died" is kinda evidence of that :v:

In what way did Hijack not die on screen? Literally he's been chopped in half on that very linked page.

He's a spirit, dude. Eightfold got chopped in half at the start of chapter 4 and was just fine. So did Forge.

I really have to eat my words, I sincerely thought Zack had lost the plot for like the first 25 pages of this chapter and that the comic was going to go way off the rails. But this ties into the main story perfectly and the chapter is wrapping up in a very Paranatural way as well.

Too bad about that wrist.

This is one of my main theories too, the other one (which is potentially compatible with it) being that he's now two spirits with related but different personalities, neither of them quite matching the original Hijack either, because "right-brain left-brain" and all that.
