Is it bad that I felt :smith: because I thought Johnny legit died?
-Also really hope the sphinx comes back from telling the others Issac shoots lightning.

Have they mentioned what happens to the object when the spirit leaves it's host object/medium?
I get the feeling something bad will happen to Issac when it does...the medium/spirit relationship sounds like a symbiotic relationship...
but what happens when it abruptly ends? Having the spirit just leave makes it sound a lot like a parasite that feeds off the host and then moves on.

This comic reminds me so much of Earthbound I'm worried its going to nose-dive into complete nightmare fuel any second.

Isaac strongly implies that the object/Spectral just loses the spirit's powers and the spirit goes on its way, at which point the Spectral is free to use another Tool or get possessed again.

Like people said before, the real threat is whether or not the spirit should just remain sealed. See again: Magnet Snake.

Guess I'm just being paranoid then, always get the feeling that everything's going to turn out to have been a conspiracy or something.
The Magnet Snake is going to turn out to be a great big softy. Then again...this means that people really need to be careful how often they use an object then - it's like Mp, except the apocalypse will happen when it runs out.

To be fair, I doubt apocalypse-spirits come along that often, or the world would have ended at some point already. I mean, it's three twelve year olds and a teacher, aside from The Events That Will Ensue In The Main Plot I doubt that things would change much if they weren't there, or at some point they would have before all this.

And most spirits seem quite nice - maybe a lot of the ones in tools were, so recharging them isn't a worry.

That's the thing...everything seems a bit too nice...then again I think its just been awhile since I read something that wasn't trying to be dead serious or this light-hearted.

That previous page - "It helps that I'm not people" :allears:
Best response I've heard read all day.

Welp. Someone's possessed. Guess that eel isn't friendly after all.

Edit//
Loved the double speech bubble arrows to get that feeling two people were talking at once.

But the buses are arriving! Won't Johnny and Ollie be late for school? :ohdear:

Buses? Oh! You mean those mere tubes of screaming children.

I can see why he's hiding though - if there was some magic world-ending mcguffin or something a guy could just force themselves right through doorman to reach it and cause the end of the world. It would probably be Johnny.

Anyone want to bet that the "others" the sphinx was talking about was one of these God factions?
If that's true theirs probably going to be a faction for various mythologies - Egyptian, Greek, Arabic, Norse etc.
Though I guess its far to early to tell just yet.

Voting's nice but what's this tidbit about a "cousinhood"?
Some kind of secret Templar order of mediums?

"Quads again squads again" is pretty much explicit admission that there was a fourth dude ain't it?

Yeah, I recall a black kid...and something bad that might have happened to the poor guy.
They are just kids after all, PTSD could be fairly common. I'd hate to see Issac lose it.

So...what would the spirit get out of killing its tools owner? You think that's going to be a problem later on? Could the same thing happen to a someone like Issac?

It reminds of a eastern style lion - or those big fluffy dog statues.
-and they're kind of talking to each other like a sitcom husband and wife. :allears:

I wonder if all this worlds myths are based off of these spirits - like the sphinx?

It probably will unless he suddenly decides to do this:



You can tell somethings popular if it has a creepy mpreg fan-fiction - and I think this might count as one. :gonk:

It's just a reference to loss.jpg.

I know but the implications that Issac was pregnant is still there.
I actually did a quick search for fan-art and so far, nothing to creepy.
A cos-play and weird doodle here and there, but no mentally scarring stuff so far.

You are reading FAR too much into this. Just relax and laugh at the funny edit.

I was trying to play off of this quote:

Even when pregnant, Issac is still anime.
but I failed spectacularly.

I found the edit hilarious.
