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

Probably. I'm hoping they're generally ok doods and Spender is just getting snagged on one of thier more eccentric rules that makes sense in context. Would be nice.

I'm betting rival gang of kids trying to clean up the city. Activity Club vs. the Cousinhood, go!

My bet is that the Cousinhood and B.L. are some of those factions like what "Max" was talking about, and Mr. Spender's in on the whole political intrigue situation.

Paranatural is 4th place! Right underneath... Avas Demon, Homestuck and Gunnerkrigg Court.
Yeah, it's probably gonna stay there.

Looks like you can pay money to vote multiple times. Considering how much that Homestuck Kickstarter made, I can see a lot of fans reaching for that option.

To be fair, Ava's Demon's fanbase is closely tied to the Homestuck fanbase. Pretty much anyone on the MSPA forums knows about it. Maybe they're all impressed at how little words a webcomic can have.

Gunnerkrigg won the poll over Homestruck last year. But that's namely because Hussie told his fans to vote for other comics, such as GKC.

I'll vote on this poll, but I'm not going to focus on it. Last year it got kinda nasty and stupid.

Look, Gunnerkrigg Court rules, Paranatural rules, let's not get into an argument about it and say that in the absence of a psychotically obsessed fanbase like Homestuck's, the fact that a young, relatively unknown comic like Paranatural getting to such a high level of status is super awesome, and everybody should be psyched.

Also, the Paranatural guy should do a kickstarter.

Totally agreed, though it might be limited to a print run at the moment -- if he manages to do anything more ambitious on top of two pages per week and college classes I'm going to spend a week contemplating my wasted life.

I'd love a print run. Honestly, I'd be okay with owning a run of just what he's already put out and the end of chap. 3. Doesn't even need to be more than that and I'd pay into a kickstarter.

Speaking of that wallpaper, there's a pretty good glimpse of Issac's spirit in there. Have we seen it before and I'm just not remembering?

I wonder how they'll work together. I mean, ink and paper powers make sense together, but magnetic powers and paper are much less obvious.

As sweet as the electromagnetic bat is, it pales in comparison to the ultimate* combo attack, which we have already witnessed.

*May not be as ultimate as advertised.

Cousinhood? Huh. I suppose it's better than being one of the ten thousand "brotherhoods" but I imagine cousinhood being the practice of going to the movies together and talking during family dinners. Knowing this comic, I might not be too far off.

Also, I'm a fan of the HISTORY!!! book.

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.

They are just kids after all, PTSD could be fairly common. I'd hate to see Issac lose it.

I'm kind of impressed with Zack. He seems wary about merch so he's started with donations and, maybe, inexpensive prints. Dude know's what's up.
