A happy surprise? Like a birthday present?

This is Spooky Jones. What could possibly go wrong that he can’t handle?
Klaus:
Is the whole neighbourhood deserted?
More or less, yes. Certainly all the houses immediately around the church. Not a soul there.

It’s possible his attitude and approach changed with experience.

A fair point.

Mitch’s mind = blown

Has Spooky always been so gung ho?

Obviously he has not learned all the lesson he needs yet.

A fair point. 🙂

Probably Right Until Today

Not that I recall. He’s certainly been badass and hardcase in the past. (His whole back history as an occult investigator of repeatedly going out and basically single handedly taking on mad cultists shows shows a level of dogged determination…)

On the other hand, we can extrapolate that it’s not out of character for him. We know that Spooky is a complex character who can read a room and tailor his responses to fit the emotional needs of everybody else. (Here I’m mainly thinking his pep talk to Red Hot, but there are others). To me that suggests that he can easily swing back and forth between whatever mood is needed – with his most common states being all jokes to put people at ease and all business. And then throw in his consistent love of film noir references.

Delete me.

Luk munden og se begavet ud, as we say in Danish in such situations. Close your mouth and look intelligent.

MIxed Feelings: Awesome, and OH NO!
MItch needs to quickly explain The Platinum Priestess Role and her Probable Time Traveling Double ….

But will he?

When Its Double Trouble , you bet!

We all know this timeline doesnt get out alive without a Memorywipe spell…the one this whole arc is premised on.
That gives you a very wide latitude to write whatever you want, the plot almost has to get ridiculous to justify it; at that point Mitch will have to spill his guts on everything. I mean EVERYTHING. ( maybe things we dont even know! )

He wont want to . Hes a good boy. youll make him
In short order, I predict the god of this world will plot torture him for our amusement and make him confess.
Then maybe they will even Kiss. or more.

@disqus_8gizXhsHgE:disqus One day YP will be a season length animation and/ or a movie

My Prediction and a slow Chilling rendition of the ‘happy Birthday Song’ sung by 12 year Old Chinese-American Girls , will ruin kids Birthdays Forever.

thanks @Alex !

I would like to hear that.

ruined forver
children cry as the candles as lit

Nice colors Vera! Loving the Blues and enhanced depth and 3d shading.

“can Teen Spooky be any more adorable than he is in that last panel?”

Mostly, No.

….

The only way that panel could be improved, was if Spooky lit up with his signature double Color magic ( ie making his right hand glow purple with Angel Magic ) ,

That makes me wonder if this was on purpose.

Has SpookTeen Learned Angel / Enochian magic yet?

My understanding is that the green color is angelic magic. The purple looks much more evil to me. If angelic magic was purple, it would be a nice purple, if you understand what I mean.

So i have them backwards?

But Doesnt PP do Enochian Magic and its coded Purple?
( she also does white;
and Blood magic is coded red and orange )

white and Angels dont necessarily mean good, and demons dont necessarily mean bad ( not in this comic.
Not that we’ve seen Angels Yet )

That is just my impression. You may well be right.

When he started combining enochian and demonic magic it was all yellows and purples. I think the green is more like “Arcane” magic, Spooky’s natural stuff not drawing on any outside source.

Do you know when Spooky leaned Enochian ?

< Is there a word of God on the when Spooky learned Purple magic @Al@alexwoolfson:disqus ? >

No Word of God on that yet. Just when he first tried to combine it with Enochian.

Our intentions with the colors of the magic are:

Green – Spooky’s “natural” magic
Golden Bright – Enochian/Angelic
Purple-Black – Demonic

I’m guessing puce and taupe weren’t good choices?

To make it absolutely obvious what type of magic is used, the three types will be shown as ivory, cream and off-white respectively.

But “puce” an “taupe” are funnier

So he uses more than two kinds. I missed that.

OOOOh!
I misunderstood. I thought you revealed Spooky was able to learn demonic magic from an unknown stories once in hell. I i didnt know he had any other innate magic.

have you already revealed the class of Platinum Priestess white/ blue magic ?
( i thought i read in the old wiki that it was Angelic or Divine )

You were half right!

Teen Spooky hasn’t tried it yet. We witnessed his first attempt with that in the last chapters of Engaging the Enemy.

It would be so awesome, ( and out of left field ) to bust down the door and rescue Kyle .

Its probably kanya though,
that girl cant stay out of trouble

Kanya would be a teenager in at this time. Or maybe a bit older. Certainly not eight.

maybe
But Now we have time travel, its timeywimey

literally of the YP could be in there, at any age.
( They could have attempted a rescue and landed in different spots or times) .

I know he’s being extra careful to make all his plot threads line up but
@Alex@alexwoolfson:disqus can really get away with Pulling another rabbit out of his hat right now ( or a few ) .

OLD Duncan.

( Young Duncan could be there as a Blood magick sacrifice — hes perfect as one, as he can never die. ).

we could have double Platinum Priestesses, They could have Older Kyle bound to power a spell.

An Older Corey might be a self rescuing Prince .
( it would be fun to see Older Kyle mix it up with SpookTeen. Its all getting memory wiped, until its present )

Far Future spook might show up just to keep everyone in line amd Not breaking the time continuum.

it could get Bonkers, Talking Dinosaurs, Horned smutty Smurf Bois, anything

The Old Protectors?

Middle Aged Protectors?

Shouldn’t Mitch’s first bubble be: “…I tried to get a read on the building…”?

I was curious about that, but, since English isn’t my first language, it happens more often than I’d like to admit… So, I did what I do each time it happens and checked on Wiktionnary; and here’s what one can find as the 5th definition:
– «Knowledge sufficient to direct one’s activities to a purpose.»
Ex: We now have a bead on the main technical issues for the project

Interesting. I’ve never seen this so far (it’s my second language, too!), but apparently it fits the theme:
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/get+a+bead+on

draw a bead on (someone), to
To take careful verbal aim at a person. An Americanism dating from about 1830, the term comes from aiming a revolver or rifle, on which the “bead” was a small knob on the foresight. It was being used figuratively by about 1930.

Even if it would rather be one of the other meanings in this case, that still sets the era.

English is my Primary language, and Ive never heard this.
I vote typo.

“Bead” is what Mitch says. Not a typo. Although “read” would work equally well if not better.

Thank you, b3nc0!

Save time, just blow up the building.

Without checking for the assumed hostage first?

She’ll understand it was for the best.

Shame paul isnt here

Hello Campers,
So Spooky wants to blast his way into an abandoned church that isn’t even creaking or psychically weeping … Without warning …
It’s good thing there’s a laundromat across the street for those in attendance who aren’t wearing their brown pants (I’m having a Deadpool moment)
