Paranatural

>let's beat up isaac

I'm back! Let's get this thing done!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH

I'd forgotten they were actually arguing. Well he resolved one plot point I guess.

>let's beat up isaac

Could they though? Has it been revealed what Isabelle's new tool does? Isaac seemed pretty confident that he could take the two of them when he was talking to max.

>Has it been revealed what Isabelle's new tool does?

Flips things.

I hope we see Doorman soon

AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE

JUST FUCK ALREADY

>Has it been revealed what Isabelle's new tool does
It's flipendo

NYAAAAAARGH

Cute.

Why did he delete his sketches that he posted in between updates?

Weather abilities are pretty OP.

So he can re-use them later for other missed updates

I think he was just embarrassed by them. They were even lazier than usual.

Probably for those reading later. The mood shift would be jarring.

Wait why did Isabel turn into a boy?

No complaints here

I'm always wanting to go back to Max once the camera shifts away from him.

That and if he can use spirit fusion it will probably make him swole.

>Isabel can't even Spirit Fuse with Eightfold to make an Origami Warrior

Last thread reminded me of his other guest comics

...

oh wow he actually remembers that?
It's been over THREE FUCKING YEARS I figured it would have slipped his mind.

>FUTA

He's probably going for that thing where we think it's the dumbest power imaginable but it turns out to be really OP because there's not limit to how big or heavy something needs to be to be flipped.

>the bigger they are, the harder they fall

Nah, it'll be the way they escape the barrier that surrounds Mayview.

I have no fucking clue how the barrier works since the last time it was mentioned was like 3 years ago but if only covered the city above ground they could just dig under it.

I was certain they said it cant be tunneled through. I think the spectrals or Forge's team would have made a tunnel instead of messing with a ghost train

That was actually pretty good before it just stopped.

Then flipping it upside down wouldn't do shit. People are giving Zack too much credit when assuming he has a purpose in mind when adding things to the comic anyway.

Nah, it can flip the holder onto the other side of things as well. Isabel flipped from one side of the door to the other.

The ghost train tunnelled through, so spirit powers can bypass it. Also, Doorman can open doors to the outside if he has a key.

Isabel fliped herself to the other side of a door sometime in the last century, so she might be able to flip herself to the other side of the barrier.

What is the name of this well drawn comic

I by no means have the right to make this prediction, as it unfortunately relies on Zack knowing what he's doing.
>Evil Spirit inside Max tricks everyone, hijacks Max's body, and since he knows where Doorman is, escapes Mayview for whatever reason using something akin to a key to Max's old house in the Big City, and takes out Doorman in the process.
>Everyone panics, has a lot of feel-dumps and plot resolution discussions, and then realizes thanks to Isabel's umbrella, they can all flip to the other side of the barrier and pursue/save Max.

user means that the barrier is essentially a sphere and you can't simply dig under it. It's pretty much established that only certain spirit powers are able to bypass it.

Oh right. Yeah, it goes below the ground as well.

She didn't flip to the other side, Flip-Flop flipped her and the door. You can see when it flipped there was a "Welcome" sign on the inside.

I don't read this comic. Why all the wrist memes?

the writer sometimes cites wrist pain to skip updates

>sometimes

The art has gotten lazier and worse over the years particularly when it comes to drawing backgrounds. The artist has given the excuse that putting in the effort takes its toll on his wrists.

I don't think it's fair to the travel and con excuses to say wrist pain is the one he uses the most

...

We're about two months away from the three year mark for this chapter. Place your bets, folks, how much longer will this shit take?

I miss those vibes.
>There will never be a sleepover at Max's/Isabel's.
>No School Dance where Suzy blackmails Max to be her date
>The Cornerstore won't slowly become the collective hangout of the Activity Club, for members old and new.

Anyone else think looking back at chapter 1, a shit load of this webcomic has been made up going along?

Particularly with Isaac, I really get the impression that Zack originally intended Isaac to be like a mentor to Max. Or at least a good friend who teaches Max about the spirit world because Spender couldn't be depended upon. But at some point Zack decided he would rather Isaac be this angsty character whose real problem was that the group were keeping him in the dark for reasons unrelated to Spender's teaching methods.

>No Max x Everybody harem

At least you got the no backgrounds thing right

Who knows. Each chapter lasts a year and a half minimum, and how much can a person's mind change about something in a year's worth of time? I'm sure he has some central plot points he wants to adhere to, but for all we know it could've started as something as simple as:
>Club of ghostfighters has teamwork issues that a new kid helps mend, learning about himself while forging lifelong friendships between the members and himself.

Paranatural was originally about Johnny and Suzy going on adventures with Doorman.

They are the only remnants of the original idea Zack had, and ironically this pretty much spoils a future plot point of Suzy becoming a Spectral as well.

Hey guys what's going on in this thre-AAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Literally every character in the comic will be a spectral a few chapters aka decades from now

The creator got fucked over by Hiveworks or something, right?

>expecting an harem ending from a SJW
We're lucky if Max is still straight by the end.

I'm suddenly reminded that this comic exists.

I like this page. Quick and to the point. Don't fuck this up anymore, Ed.

>Quick and to the point

This could've been resolved in 3 panels rather than 10 and that's not counting all the previous pages that were wasted on this seemingly causeless drama.

More appropriately it could've built up over the next 3, without wasting a month's worth of updates shoehorning it into the current one. Actually allows a sense of drama and tension within the team.

'Everybody' includes the males anyway user. What could be more diverse.

I make a webcomic and sometimes I've had to post what I call "bullshit filler" between updates (rarely, not as often as Zack) which is very similar to Zack's filler sketches and I always delete it later because it interrupts people reading through the archives.

Also it kinda sucks. I hate when I have to do it. I won't completely skip an update day though. Never ever.

Lots of people do this but they usually put the filler pages in another archive. Meanwhile Zack doesn't even update his regular archive. The last page there is from fucking May of last year.

Have you considered injuring your wrist as an excuse? It's all the rage.

Zack's girlfriend ships Max x Johnny so it's probably going to happen. Not that I'd mind if he wrote it well, but that's unlikely.

What the fuck. Most webcomics have archives that update automatically. He's a Hiveworks affiliate too, their proprietary version of Comicpress definitely has that feature.

>Implying he isn't doing it on purpose so people don't realise how fucking massive the current chapter is

Chapter 2
>30 Pages
Chapter 3
>53 Pages
Chapter 4
>151 Pages
Chapter 5
>225 Pages AND COUNTING

AND THAT'S THE END OF CHAPTER 4!!! I hope you all enjoyed what will most likely be Paranatural's longest chapter.

Pie charts 4 life

Looks like MSPA. Now time for a Chapter 6 that is twice as big as the rest and yet is released at 1/10th the speed.

He had to have come up with Hitball on the spot. There's no way he PLANNED this

I don't know but I think he did a porn comic that may have lasted a little longer, called LoveGun or something.

I hated this cluttered sequence, I'm glad it's over. Max's baseball spec-shot was so worth a splash page and it would've gotten drawn well if this was old Zack.

>best girl appeared
today was a good day.

Don't worry, there will be many more cluttered sequences to come!

>Vibe will never update again
>Baron Bones is fucking dead

>Blaster Nation was cancelled because the authors wanted to work on their less-than-stellar porn comic

Every single time.

I liked the idea Zack had, of putting four action sequences together simultaneously using transitions and the like. Too bad it took a long-ass time to get to.

And now their porn comic isn't even porn anymore.

>"Let's get this thing done"
Get what done? Get Isaac back, or just let him be without any help (have these three learned ANYTHING from this spat)? What about whatever this...[checks chapter title] "Infiltrator" needing to get packed up with?
We're still not over with this bloody thing!

Zack may still want him and Max to "fight as one, brother" but not after finishing this clusterfuck of a drama first...I don't think said drama right now isn't inherently final to the outcome of the club, because of how this chapter isn't done yet hence no resolution. Also, considering the club looks to be...fine and together in recent promotional material

>Every character
>Zack adds 6th and 8th graders in future chapters
>Some of those characters become fan favorites
>Zack makes them a permanent fixture of the cast
Oh shit.
