I think Zack, being nonbinary, is probably including some androgynous/enby/genderfluid/nonconforming characters in their story. I mean R.J. doesn't seem to confuse anybody

...Hm, I just noticed that Youth Culture seems to be wearing a skirt, too. Lots of details Zack has just hiding in plain sight, very much their M.O.

It's possible they're just baggy shorts from this angle, since it appears the black shadow doesn't seem to connect the two leg-holes, but yea, clearly a rebellious gang of rowdy highschoolers

Considering "Servi" calls her "master" and not "mistress" I feel like she might accept she/he/they and the whole argument is moot.

I can’t believe we’re getting vampires in this. It’s completely putting me off from the grounded world Zach has spent years building.

You mean the years of worldbuilding a Cousinhood of Man that's interested in Mayview because they think it contains half-human monsters they are sworn to destroy?

I know we’ve seen him seen drinking oj and is like a secret spectral or whatever

I don't think he's a spectral. I also feel like the "diet high in citrus" thing was a throwaway joke. He's probably a werewolf, though.

You know, I'm beginning to warm up to the Cousinhood right about now because there's clearly a vampiric infestation going on here.

Yeah if they actually murder and eat/drink Ritz (I doubt they will, it would be a jarring tone shift for this comic), the Cousinhood is 100% justified in barging their way into town. Hell, BL even mentions that they're looking for "their dwindling prey," which implies they're good at their jobs.

Yeah but Gage said he doesn't want a human friend. The cops are thralls, I'm pretty sure, and Gage said they're not supposed to make those. But they just revealed that they're vampires to Ritz, and obviously she can't just walk away with that knowledge unless she is compelled to be friends with them. So they're going to try to kill her.

Eightfold isn't dead and Hijack got an entire chapter dedicated to him before he (probably) died (off-screen). Paranatural just isn't the kind of comic so far where characters get introduced and then get got so wantonly and brutally. The fact you can only cite two as having "died" is kinda evidence of that :v:
