Check out panel 5 of this page:

Check out the panel with the body part snatching spirt on this page: http://paranatural.net/chapter-3-page-5/

If you look closely under Isaac's speech bubble, you can see an extra person was with them.

That's where this comes in:

Eh, when you first go to his website the very first thing you see is the most recent comic. You even have to scroll past it on most monitors to get the First button, if you don't go through the Archives. If you give up after the first few pages thinking they don't get better, after a glance the most recent page, then you probably aren't really paying attention. Same thing happens in Gunnerkrig Court, the first few chapters turn people off due to the style, and the way some people see Annie at first, but once they give it a chance it's probably one of the best ones right now. Also, Unsounded. Really, if you're judging a webcomic based off of no more than the first chapter, at least see if you can find another opinion from somewhere or someone.

That said, I'd still love to see those first pages redone. He'd probably have to redo the whole chapter then, just so there isn't such a big jump in difference compared to the rest of it. I'd much rather get new pages instead of a redone first chapter. The man's busy!

If he posted 3 times a week and redid those pages, he'd be rolling in mad black market greens.

Opposing Farce posted:

The uncensored dialog suggests that Spender isn't telling Isaac anything specifically because he's a medium, so it may very well be that Isabel and Ed do know something and Isaac is deliberately being left out of the loop. If that's the case, the fact that they don't care is simply another biter irony for the universe to torment Isaac with.

Is it any medium, or is it specifically Isaac's spirit in particular that's the problem? I imagine it'd be pretty hard to keep secrets, whatever they may be, from every medium, but it'd be a simpler matter if it's only specific spirits you're trying to keep information from. Of course, as we were shown earlier, that doesn't really matter when a sufficiently powerful spirit in a tool can take over its user's body.

Of course, this isn't backed up by anything in particular in the comic, so it's hard to say without more information.

It's not a one-piece. :colbert:

Why am I not surprised that those are actually something that exists? From the About Us page:

Suitjamas have been made famous by Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother's episode titled "The Front Porch" (season 4 episode 17). Ever since this day, as fans of the show we searched the internet without success for several years, trying to find a place to buy this magical item. Just when we were about to give in, we decided to look into the possibility of making our own! After over a year of research, production and design, what you see on this site is the final product of months of hard work and dedication to the cause. As we wanted these for ourselves, we needed to make sure they were absolutely perfect, until we finally were able to mass produce the worlds first suit pyjamas!

Also, maybe I missed it the first time through, but where did they mention Agent Day has cupid powers? That seems like kind of a weird ability to throw into the story.

It was back a little bit, while Spender was picking everyone up for tonight and he stopped to talk to Isabel's Grandpa. Specifically, Spender mentions that she "uses a tool with 'Cupid's arrow' powers."

Max was seeing things long before he got to the school, let alone touched the bat. Right in the first chapter we're told nobody knows what makes every spectral a spectral, and while through Zack we know the only guaranteed way for someone to become a spectral is for them to be possessed, that isn't the only way. Otherwise, why all the secrecy around Isaac and not Max, a new spectral?

Same guys, different comic. Three Panel Soul is a lot less connected than even Mac Hall was. They're still pretty great, Jo (the mage in the linked panel) and Death are becoming regulars, but there's still a lot of comics on random things like becoming a parent and so on.

They put Mac Hall back up as a PDF so people wouldn't have to spend $60-$250 for the book just to read it since the original site doesn't work very well.

On this page he desummons the clones, then jumps away. I thought it was three separate spirits as well, and went back and double checked. And it appears to just be one spirit, that can duplicate itself. But with slightly different personalities.

Really? I got the impression the others had just left, nor that they were desummoned.
