Veiny Isaac incoming

what did Hijaac say to Max?

i prefer the no-nose syndrome, it adds some zest to the visuals in my opinion. it's kind of the polar opposite to tumblr nose syndrome which has overstayed its welcome.

WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYTHING LOOK SO FADED? How the fuck does anyone thinks this looks good compared to the color from 5 years ago?

Are you kidding me? That 2012 page looks awful. It's oversaturated and the contrast between the fence and the characters is retina destroying, the whole composition of the page is deviantart level color handling. The desaturated look at least has color consistency and a sense of atmosphere. Get new eyes.

Nice bait, got me to reply

he didn't get me to reply though

So is Isaac Hijack now, or did he let Stormo take over and kill Garcia?

Man these threads are depressing. First time something interesting happens in months, but we're all so bitter and jaded at this point (myself included) to actually enjoy it, this thread will be lucky to make it past 50 posts

Kind of hard to get excited when the quality of work has fucking plummeted. The single background on this page is a lazily drawn row of lockers

I blame the editing more than anything else... he tried to be "artistic" with the whole 'multiple plot threads going on in every page' thing but all it's done is make it a fucking chore to follow what the fuck's been going on the last couple months.

Can Hijack even possess spectrals?

wtf when did hijack possess isaac? when did this happen

I can't remember it's been so long since I read what the lore is for this comic. I'm leading towards Stormo because electric Blue was his colour.

Garcia gave him the wolf dick and Isaac is trying to find a washroom to clean up.

>lazy
i'm tired of seeing this shit. gigidigi was right, you can't please anyone.

>Garcia gave him the wolf dick
Why does the Hack always miss out the best parts.

>"boohoo why do i have to put effort into my work to make people like it :( fuckin ENTITLED BRATS"

>this comic has been going one for long enough that max having a flip phone wasn't a weird anachronism.

>Hope you guys enjoyed this update! See you next month.

>AAAAARRRGH

>this date is STILL going on

Is this like the worst pacing in the history of everything?

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Meanwhile, I bet the Tumblr fanbase's shitting their pants right now.

So is it general consensus that Garcia is a werewolf (i.e the monster the cousinhood is after) then? I mean that's what I've been my theory thus far I didn't know if anyone else had come to the same conclusion.

I am hoping that it turns out that Hijack was Garcia though, because "he wasn't any of the three after all" is such a fucking cop-out,

Also, I hope things don't really go down south or too-dark-to-care from here and Isaac is somehow unharmed.

This somehow kinda reminds me of this series of tweets Zack posted to calm down readers dropping their marbles as Isaac met Isabel and Max and (gulp) prodding on the latter...

Hitball would've been better if it was condensed too, IMO. If only Zack planned ahead, and culled some of the unneeded ideas before he began this chapter...

That's the problem with webcomics, they have no oversight like an editor and when you post a page at a time it gets hard to grasp how much time something will take, especially when you get new ideas as you go

He'd benefit with trying to set page limits like actual comic book writers, since they know they only have a maximum of 24 pages to tell a story per issue

Really, and editor really is the thing Zack needs most.

The ghost train chapter should have been two chapters, and even then it was too long.

Hitball went on for way too long, and this is dragging too.

I read somewhere a long time ago in PNAT's old comment section (RIP) that Zack was planning to compile Paranatural in print form years ago...I don't think the current state of the comic is viable for that anymore in terms of cost (Unless Zack does a mad impossible job of making a condensed reboot of this chapter). I don't think Zack even wants that done anymore, when he can just get more money from his merch sales.

>that Zack was planning to compile Paranatural in print form years ago...I don't think the current state of the comic is viable for that anymore in terms of cost
By my admittedly crappy maths this was page 521 of the whole comic. No point trying to edit that down, he'd have to publish about 6-7 books to turn a profit I guess.

IN THE YEAR 2525
WHEN THIS ARC IS STILL ALIIIIVE

>By my admittedly crappy maths this was page 521 of the whole comic.
And we're not even done yet.

Also, the number of subplots in this chapter makes the whole big story hard to focus on and keep up with thus decreasing its enjoyment(?) value, which is a darn shame considering PNAT's no-frills beginnings.

Really, an editor really would have gone a very long way.

Or at least a more involved outline, I'm not convinced on some level he isn't just writing by the seat of his pants. Like I assume he outlined what needs to happen in every chapter, but I'm not convinced he did much more than that

I think that idea was down the moment he introduced lesbos into his comic.

At least if he was planning to sell it as some sort of "kid-friendly" comic.

I mean its not like anything particularly erotic has happened.

I don't think, especially these days, having gay characters makes a story not for kids.


I do think he went a bit overboard with making them as minority as possible.

I don't have a problem with characters in the story being gay. I don't have a problem with characters in the story being muslim

But having a gay muslim woman hook up with a gay black blind lady was kinda overboard. Almost as if he felt he hadn't diversified his comic enough by that point and was making up for lost time.

It's not so much that someone will stop him from doing it as that being basically suicide from an economic view. Many people are actually bothered by it, if not by the shit writing alone on that part.

I mean you have multiple kids cartoons with gay couples now, its not really that out there.

Its been so long I forgot why the activity club and coalition exist

More than two simultaneous stories has never worked. Any TV show or movie thats done that suffered from having to juggle 3+ plotlines

Would wrist wraps help Zack?

IF ZACK'S WRISTS CAN SURVIVE
THEY MAY FIND

I don't really follow this series but can someone explain what is the reason for the shock here?

Muslim women likely found out that Spender (Blond shirtless guy) was hiding the fact that a dangerous spirit was loose in the town. Max (baseball cap) got told something by Isaac (smug Ginger) but we don't know what yet.

It can't have been Garcia, everything must have a sudden twist and dramatic reveal or reversal.

It's only logical that Hijack played them all with a false lead.

Ah yes, I remember when there were Sup Forumsnversations about how ridiculous of an idea that Zarei was being one who heals spirits when it contradicted her implied (monotheist) Muslim faith...

As a sort of practicing Muslim myself, I can just shrug Zarei off as a result of Zack's complete naïvety of other people's beliefs while trying to be more progressive towards them. I'm just worried how other people might take to her presence whether they're of my faith (inb4 Harry Potter controversy 2.0) or otherwise (re: current American sociopolitical climate)and how people will take action on that...especially if PNAT somehow got brought into a bigger audience (popularity, adaptation etc). Zack apparently takes even the tiniest of jabs towards him (say, wrist jokes) personally, so I hear.

NOW IT HAS BEEN TEN THOUSAND YEARS
FANS HAVE CRIED A BILLION TEARS

>Harry potter controversy 2.0

Were there any muslims in harry potter?

May Allah break the wrists of this disease-ridden rodent.

mashallah brothers

>gay muslim
Zack has no idea how this works, right?

...

>As a sort of practicing Muslim myself
What the hell are you doing here?

>mfw when I started reading this during the arc with the self cannibalizing ghost

Holy shit its been a long time

Sup Forums is a something something free of hate

If there weren't before, I wouldn't be surprised if there are now. JK Rowling's already proven that she's not above a half-assed diversity retcon in a bald-faced attempt to rake in some progressive points. See: gay Dumbledore and Hermione-was-never-written-as-being-white.

Fuck off back to Sup Forums

Sup Forums is satire

Maybe find a medium between this and the op. This one kind of hurts my eyes for some reason.

>free of hate
That's.. so non-muslim.

people can be multiple things at once? It's fairly common really. There are women who are gay and Muslim. There are women who are gay and blind. Is it really so far fetched to think that two queer women might meet up in a small town?

It's the classic shell game con. Present 3 options to the audience and a character can say 'it's definitely one of these 3', and like. Sure, it can be. But by storytelling conventions, it makes for a more interesting story if the reader doesn't already know the answer. So the answer is none of them.

Yes

>There are women who are gay and Muslim.
Not in real life unless you mean """Muslim""". You're not allowed to be both unless you don't mind a long drop with a short stop courtesy of muslims who actually follow the Quran if you're found out.

Speaking of which, have we ever seen this woman ever do anything that even implied she followed any faith, or did we just decide to go off of the dressup?

There are Christians who get divorced even though Christ said that wasn't allowed. It turns out there are people who don't follow all the tenants of their religion. Hell, even those "muslims who actually follow the Quran" you mentioned don't, since the Quran explicitly says that coercion is forbidden in matters of religion, and the people running around killing gays in the middle east are all about coercing people.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.
First
> implying there is any comparison between Christianity and islam
Just look at their founders. Christ was a peaceful preacher who helped the poor and spoke out against injustice. Mudhammad was a bloodthirsty rapist. The fact that you try to claim that there is any sort of equivalence is so retarded that it alone would be enough to dismiss your argument even if the rest of it wasn't also garbage.

> There are Christians who get divorced even though Christ said that wasn't allowed.
There is nothing saying that someone who gets divorced can't be a Christian. It's a sin, but being a sinner doesn't stop you from being a Christian because in Christianity EVERYONE is a sinner. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Getting a divorce doesn't make Christ love you any less, it's the sin that's the problem, and as long as you seek forgiveness for that, you're still perfectly capable of remaining a Christian.

There is plenty in the Quran that says that fags can't be mudslimes. Islam is all about following rules, and if you don't, then you're not a muslim. Forgiveness doesn't matter in Islam, all they care about is that you follow the rules, and if you don't, you're kicked out and killed.

> the Quran explicitly says that coercion is forbidden in matters of religion
No it doesn't. In fact it says the exact opposite. It commands that muslims kill non-believers where ever they are found if the muslims are strong enough. And if they aren't, it says to lie and deceive people into thinking they're peaceful, until they have enough numbers to slaughter all the non-believers, and then they attack.

In some countries that aren't America maybe.

Inconsistency and hypocritical pragmatism are pretty common with the religious anyway. But we may actually find out Zarei had a change of faith when she started seeing and talking to spirits as a child, but that's chapters away if ever.

Dude. This date thing has been up since LAST YEAR. WHAT THE FUCK?

Gay Muslims exist but it's obviously "haram," though I'd say for the most part it's the sex that's the main sin

> In some countries that aren't America maybe.
Because muds pretend to be peaceful when they're in the minority all the while attempting to increase their numbers. Once you get a large enough mudslime population, they start strictly practicing the more violent aspects of their religion. Stop acting like this is common among religions. It isn't, plenty of religions don't pull this sort of bait-and-switch. It's specific to islam. Muslims stick to what the Quran tells them, and it tells them to war against the infidels through both deception and violence.

> Gay Muslims exist
No they don't. A "gay muslim" is a fag who tries to act like he's a muslim until the muslims who actually follow their religion come along and kill him for being a faggot.

>if you don't, then you're not a muslim
Not trying to defend the religion but that's not exactly true. There's only one type of sin that will take you an apostate, it's called "shirk," and it involves breaking away from the principle of monotheism, be it by worshipping someone other than Allah, calling yourself a god, stuff like that. Even committing serious acts like sex crimes, like fornication and/or adultery will still keep you a Muslim

Two things.
One, this is Sup Forums, so fuck off with the mudslimes lingo. Keep that shit in Sup Forums.
Two, yes, in fact, other religions do exactly that as a tactic, just not as violently. Take the jews, Buddhists, and Christians. The jews are the worst about usurping countries and it's in the Bible to try to convert others to Christianity through preaching the gospel.

You can still be gay and a Muslim as far as I know, it doesn't take you out of the fold of the religion. It's the act of sodomy/same-sex relations that can get you killed, though we all know Muslims are willing to kill for less than that

Haram.

Cool

Are Zach's own wrists the ultimate jobber?

Well I guess Max is a drug dealer then.

He got what he wanted

> and it's in the Bible to try to convert others to Christianity through preaching the gospel.
> implying peacefully preaching is comparable to infiltrating a country, lying in order to gain power so that more of you can come in, until you reach enough numbers to slaughter the rest of the population en masse
Moral relativism is literally the worst thing to happen to western civilization.

> One, this is Sup Forums, so fuck off with the mudslimes lingo. Keep that shit in Sup Forums.
> muh Sup Forums boogieman
Keep that shit in tumblr.

No, you fucking piece of shit cock smoking faggot, there's such a thing as board etiquette. You don't go to Sup Forums and start shitting on Yotsuba and you don't come to Sup Forums and start using slurs like mudslimes, niggers, wetbacks, and crackers. Elevate yourself, bitch nigger.

Did you even read that guy's argument? He's saying other religions don't practice the more violent aspects of their religion when while pretending to be peaceful when they're in the minority all the while attempting to increase their numbers. That's patently false. Look at the jews. Those pieces of shit made circumcision legal here in America and those faggot ass kikes are now trying to pass a law that makes the banning/boycott of israeli goods ILLEGAL. If that isn't some bullshit whacky religious shenanigans from those talmudists, i don't know what is.

stop being such a racist fucking nigger

Was destroying his wrist part of his plan?

This is completely wrong.

Tons of Jews are self loathing or atheists but still want to be part of (((the tribe))). 10% of all Jews are really descendants of Germans under false identity.

> BAAAAW This is /comblr/ so you have to be politically correct or you should get out! Your rights end where my feelings begin!

No need to get your titties in a twist. Just pointing out on certain boards you follow the already pre-established rules or you get called out. This isn't Sup Forums, you rainbow flying fruit cake.

Of course it isn't Sup Forums, that would be a vast improvement over /comblr/.

I bet you are the guy responsible for the colors on the new Ghostbusters movie.

>waaah it's muh moral duty to shove the redpill down everyone's throats
I don't see /po/ bringing his papercraft shitposting to Sup Forums, why can't you behave too?

Did Isaac text him a dick pic?

Based AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHposters

lmao shut up faggot those are nice colors in that page go back to the comments section

No, it's shit pastel meme.

>porn of this webcomic
>gay shota
I miss the element of surprise

>doesn't know muslims have the highest gay and trans saturation
uummm, sweetie?!?!

I was referring more to the many debates regarding the religious aspect of the Harry Potter series...
