Those twitter comics makes me wish we had more Starchman in the main one.neogeo0823 posted:Up until this latest comic, I was betting it'd be the Sphinx's invisible wall power, but now I can't even fathom what sort of horrible thing he'd unleash upon the world. There's still that plunger with a mutual enemy and a nasty grudge to settle. The bullying potential there is quite vast.

horriblePencilist posted:Everyone here probably has already seen it, but I'm in love with that guest comic Zack made for Vibes. Every panel is perfection. Zack did a second set for chapter 2 as well. Vibe is shaping up to be a pretty good comic in it's own right so I hope Zack keeps making one of these summing up every chapter.

I choose to believe he's saying it just the right way that it sounds like "door, man" to Spender and "doorman" to Issac. For maximum dickishness, you see.

Captain Oblivious posted:I've asked this before but, do we have any actual reason to believe thus far that such spirit fragmentation is even a thing? I think people are basing it off this strip and how Magnet Snake "didn't end up with the sense of humor." Which could mean any number of things. Personally I didn't think Magnet Snake looked very fragmented, but who knows. Zack has been knocking down mysteries at a pretty good clip so I'm content to wait that particular one out.

Probably Magic posted:While I enjoy Paranatural, it's not often that I laugh out loud at it, but Stephen's "THE GOVERNMEEEEEEEANOOF" made me crack up. I'd go the other way with it; Stephen seems like the time to have a well honed and diverse collection of Troma movies and direct to video horror. The stack pack will emerge 3 days later, bleary eyed but renewed in focus.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:I guess I was thinking relative to other 'webcomics like this', where it's normal to have a mob of fans who get really really snitty if you point out the author's trying for Tolkeinesque epic worldbuilding and uploading approximately one page every six months, and three updates a week where the plot seems to actually advance sometimes is unheard-of.  But yeah, this sort of thing is endemic to webcomics as a whole. It's a bad symptom of the dripfeed way they're produced and released. It makes me wonder why people don't take a cue from paperback comics and throw up a chapter at a time. There must be good reasons for it but I can't think of any. What helps here is, Paranatural does the one thing I personally need a slow webcomic to do: it gives you something interesting to see/read every page. Issac can brood in that house for the next 20 years for all I care if we still get funny dialogue and amazing art every update. Even then I'd argue Paranatural is moving it's plot along better than many of it's contemporaries. 'Fastest of the slowest' isn't a great accomplishment, but it's something.

There is not a fully rendered character there whose deal I do not want to know.SlothfulCobra posted:Johnny's gonna win because he's got more named characters on his side, along with the power of friendship [sub]and webcomics.[\sub] Not only this but Isabel's side has 4 people with their own non-hitball related agendas (possessed Jeff, the vice principal, I assume Suzy is never not scheming and the redhead behind Max is totally Issac being all broody.) A house divided cannot dodge. I was gonna say The Shockodiles have more magical children but Lisa's a witch and an enigma so that probably counts.

The shading is definitely better, but there is a ~style~ to those flats that an artist could lean into if that was the direction they wanted to go. In either style Suzy is still the best though, that's an immutable constant

There have been a lot of "Aw gently caress, comic's not going up until next week" this summer, which is probably what's dragged it out. Convention season, I guess.

Splicer posted:Arguing with people who'll never read it: yes draw what you like on your own time but in art class your teacher is presumably trying to improve your shading and anatomy etc so doodling anime characters instead of drawing your pineapples is like doing your calculus homework with algebra. I've seen both sides play out in art classes before. Sometimes the kid with the cat ear hat draws anime for everything, sometimes the teacher just shits on an art style that fits the assignment just because they don't like it. I'm assuming on good faith that Isaac is the former and Teen Zack was the latter. Speaking of, that art teacher is the best amalgam of every high school art teacher ever.

I wonder how that would go down. Spender freaked out about a tool that could be yellow, and using multiple of those makes sense to me. but if Hijack tried to possess him, wouldn't that be like trying to get in an airplane bathroom with the occupied light on?

Last Visible Dog posted:Dang, even after Eightfold's dying speech, Isabel still instinctively runs to her locker to get "some stuff". Rereading that part, I like that Eightfold straight up tells Isabel "Look, you might not understand my words now, but you'll look back on them eventually." I have a feeling she's due for that moment pretty soon, and when she has it she's gonna feel real bad about it.

asking someone to tweak their pacing isn't unreasonable, asking someone to hire on an editor to their passion project webcomic is. That said this probably would have been better received as two chapters with more of a clean break between hitball and stalking the teachers. That it's all somehow the same big chapter makes what's already a sprawling arc look even worse. EDIT: to clarify I think the pacing on this tiny little chunk is actually okay! As long as we stay with these 4 stories, jumping between them in quick bursts isn't that bad a storytelling technique, if a little slow to satisfy due to delays. if it starts flashing to Zarei and Doorman and Suzy and whoever else again that's when it it'll crumble real quick.

SKULL.GIF posted:I note the artificial spirits all share Sockpuppy's color palette. Wonder if that'll come up later on. Interesting to note Ventrilobite is labeled as an "artificial spirit prototype" but Sockpuppy is labeled as a "anomalous spectral lifeform". Presumably there's something special about Sockpuppy that Mina somehow copied to create the offshoot spirits?

Even if you wanted to argue webcomics should cater to the current audience and not the archive reader and therefore should pace themselves accordingly, the comic where the artist obliterates their wrist every other week seems like an unfair place to apply that.

Peekaboo may have a true form but I'm not sure he's connected to anyone else besides being another example of spirits having strained and traumatizing relationships with their hosts. However, the only other examples of childlike spirits with strange traits are Mina's artificial spirits. They do have the color wisps though, So make of that what you will.
