This is like abuse at this point.

Watching a promising webcomic with a promising story, fun characters and great art become nonsensical, cliched schlock is depressing as fuck.

This is pathetic. Two updates a week were a mistake. And the art still makes me want to vomit. Fuck, I wish I had an image to perfectly illustrate my bitterness and anger so I'm just gonna post something that makes me smile instead.

Do you think Zack will ever look back at it for what it was? Do you think he'll ever find these threads on an archive or something years after he drops the comic after he gets some cushy storyboard er job somewhere and sees how much he disappointed people?

I mean what do you even call this? An unknowing creator that trudge along and isn't even aware of the abstract feelings of regret and bitterness he brings to a group of people?

My friend who also read this comic died last year, during the Zarei date scene. He will never see the comic return to its former quality. Neither will the rest of us, for that matter, but he died during what can only be described as the total nadir of quality.

That isn't things happening though, that's another side story about the school bully finding out about all the paranormal shit going on. It's a better side track than this, but lets not pretend it's the most important thing Zack's ignoring.

I just finished reading the entire comic from the very beginning to see what all the fuss is about and the pacing... left a lot to be desired.

But less in a “Zack is dragging things out” way and more like… Chapter 4 introduced SO many things that would have been better introduced at an earlier time. I feel like there are chapters missing between 3 and 4. The few payoffs were confusing and hardly gripped me. Isaac feeling betrayed by Max withholding information, Eightfold getting separated from Isabel, Johnny getting all introspective of his bullying, etc.

- The comic really should have had a few more “one-off” chapters before falling into Chapter 4. It certainly feels more on-rails than before. I didn’t feel much about Eightfold’s goodbye because Eightfold was introduced in the very same chapter and was barely properly established before she was snuffed out. I guess I was supposed to care, but I left wondering if it was a lost opportunity for some "feels."

- The whole thing about the grandfather whining about Isabel using her book too much was introduced in the same chapter as well and it felt almost hamfisted that shortly after, Isabel was put in a position where she wasn’t in reach of her book and had to rely on herself. Too on-the-nose.

- The scene with Johnny and Ollie after hitball was so melodramatic, he’s been such a meme at this point that it felt like whiplash for him to suddenly get all introspective. I guess he has an excuse since he’s now seeing ghosts, but I dunno. It's also weird to see Ed go from a grinning carefree goofball to an angsty useless weak-willed nerd. He doesn't even feel like the same character from the beginning.
>>
>>90512214
- The comic's not THAT bad on the whole, but it's like I've been thrown into having to care about many things that haven't even been properly established. Maybe there should have been more ghosts-of-the-week chapters before Chapter 4? Key moments come out prematurely and he rarely gives you enough time to feel invested in anything.

- He should also quit taking cues from Gigi and tone down the fourth wall sledgehammering at this point. It was cute three chapters ago, but now it's ridiculous.

What "ruined" Paranatural for everybody else? Or at least left you feeling disappointed?
>>
Let's be honest, when these threads were getting popular everyone treated this comic like an alternative to Homestuck. It was fun but it was never the greatest thing ever, it just seemed that way in comparison to HS.

At least have solace that it will never actually be THAT bad.

He drank the SJW kool-aid in a big way, now he flagellates himself for ever having cared about our opinion, which is ironic because while /co/ might be bitter fucking assholes, they can also be a genuinely good source of criticism, which is more than can be said of the crowd he currently is trying to appeal to, who will fawn on you until you mis-step and then bite your fucking head off with no middle ground.
>>
>>90500561
Hitball was good compared to everything that came after it, even if it did drag on too long.
>>
>>90512214
You're on the nose with basically everything.

The "dragged out" complaints stem from the way Zack uses his pages and his upload schedule. He'll use 30 panels across two or three pages to say something that could have been accomplished in half a page, because he feels a need to give all possible dialogue its own facial reaction. It creates this weird problem where nothings ever fucking happening when following it serially because everything moves so slow, but it's not even satisfying in the long run because there's no substance in any of the scenes either. This is only exacerbated by Zack skipping numerous updates a month at this point.

It's probably why he's throwing so many fucking subplots together at once instead of introducing them at a natural pace as their own focused chapters. There's so many in Chapter 4 especially: Hitball, the School Store and Max's blackmailing, Isaac following Mr. Garcia on a false lead and probably discovering the Cousinhood, Johnny's self reflection about bullying after dealing with a spirit who called him out on it, and whatever the fucking bullshit with the interracial disabled lesbian date is supposed to be. But because the story updates so slowly he probably thinks he's saving time by combining it all together, and that's just making every development shallow and rushed.
>>
>>90513676
It's female. Zack was referring as such. We all were as well and he didn't correct anyone.

>>90515126
He didn't put gay kids because of /co/. He did it because he begame a total faggot after his girfriend checked his priviledges.
>>
>>90515529
Basically this. Paranatural is a B tier comic with F tier pacing, that tries to do this really weird and grand story but has no idea on how to do weird and grand plots with good pacing.

We should be in Chapter 7 right now. Chapter 4 works as an extra long chapter with 2-3 running plotlines and a tangent in the middle, but Chapter 5 should be at least 3 separate chapters. One for dealing with the adults and the aftermath of Ch. 4, one for Max and Student Council, and one for Hijack, Hitball, Demitri, and the kids dealing with the aftermath of Ch. 4.

Zack needs to stop working for a few weeks. Take a breather, and actually plan out what he's going to do. He could have had a lot of momentum going from the end of Homestuck but instead he wants to do this gag-a-week bullshit.

It's like Masaccio, except instead of dying, he just became run of the mill.

The early art was so beautifully unique, and now it's bland, washed out Tumblrchic.

This chapter is such a rambling mess, as well. Every couple of pages we seem to bounce to a new subplot.

Hitball itself should have been a separate chapter, considering it had its own 3 act structure.

>>
>>90521452
I guess it's because he wanted two chapters revolving around Hijack's possession ability, but didn't want to wait in between or break the segments up.

Hitball would have worked perfectly as its own chapter, and had all the components. It would have been relatively short and a breather after the heavier Train chapter.

Instead, it's bled into this whole big mess of subplots that just keep cropping up. Add to that the fact that there's supposedly a ticking clock, Hijack, that's lost all impact, because he hasn't been relevant in months.

He's not threating, because the story has basically forgotten that he's supposed to be the villain. Instead we get Minority Bing Lesbian shenanigans and Z-List characters stopping our main characters ever minute.

Speaking about Johnny, what I don't get about he and his gang is this: we're informed they're bullies, but we haven't seen how far their actions can go.

Like, it seems to me that all I see them do is just talk tough and extort pocket money. We hardly see anyone else in/ outside the school getting trashed hard by them. Even Johnny's confrontation with Max at chapter 1 was OFFSCREEN. And now I'm supposed to believe...
1. they should be called out just after the few chapters they appeared in?

2. Johnny will become more powerful possessed by Forge, when Johnny's chara progression on the same pace as Max et al (at least during chapter 3 at the time)? We were just getting started on knowing him more! (see pic related)

You're entirely right about needing more establishing chapters, and you can kind of tell he's actually trying to do that.

Each new chapter tries to focus on a different member of the group, but I think the pace at which he makes the comic has kind of forced his hand.

He can't pump out a 26 episode each week like YYH, so he's tried to compress all the stuff he wants to do, because otherwise the main plot would have gone nowhere in like 7 years.

This isn't to defend him, because, honestly, his art and his writing has seriously lost its pop over the years.

The art may be technically better, as in Zach's become more technically proficient, but the old art had far more character in it than the new stuff does. The writing is just worse, and I feel like he's been too influenced by his new Webcomicker friends and his audience. For example, his ramping up of "Reaction Images" in every page.

I reread some of chapters 1-3 to compare with current pages and the difference in writing is just agonizing. Parantural's dialogue was never really realistic or succinct, but it was just really clever and fun to read. Dialogue from current pages feels like it's from a completely different writer, and the comedy is usually either poorly timed or non existent.
Paranatural always let its scenes run a little long in my opinion, but it was hardly a detriment due to the comedy. It was funny, so people could stand to wait a little longer for the next plot point.

He's also seemingly pretty bad at writing dialogue for that kind of scenario.

Fuck, it's making me physically angry now with how good Paranatural used to be. Everything in that page was funny, Everyone had good dialogue, The art being actually nice to look at, BACKGROUNDS ACTUALLY BEING INCLUDED IN EVERY FUCKING PANEL, NO PASTEL HORSESHIT.

But what really gets me are the character designs. They went from sharp and unique with nice color palettes to blobby Steven Universe rejects with putrid soft colors that blend in with the pastel backgrounds. It's horrifying with what this webcomic became.

I've said this before, but if he ever actually makes physical comics of Paranatural, I will buy them up to the end of the ghost train arc and will pretend that Zack discontinued the series after that.

If Zach does ever make printed copies, I just hope he doesn't redraw the first few pages. Sure, they might have been scribbly and only partially colored, but they look a damn lot better than his current work.

For a story about monsters, the design are uninspired and uninteresting. The characters are ridiculous, and the drama is overdone. Also, it's literraly a sjw parade at the moment. I wonder if the readers are actually enjoying it or if they're taking it like they would gobble meds.

>it's also pretty amusing that she doesn't know how to portray low income neighborhoods
But of course. Just like you can see girls from decent households straying off the path and zoning around with wannabe-homeless false punkheads, but soon returning to their family for more comfort (and the last ipod), you usually see these webcomic authors defending the cause of teh weak. Without having any idea of what their lives look like, because they're no way they'll ever spend a day around them.

Was it? I thought the two biggest issues with PNat was dragging out story arcs no one really wants to read and creating a dozen hanging plot threads and not resolving any of them.
>>
>>90526608
No. The major issues are
a) shit art
i) Meme faces becoming spammed because muh demographic love them
ii) colours ruined because he wanted to be one of the cool kids
iii) digital art and new styles because he wanted to be quicker like one of the cool kids
b) shit narrative
i) structure goes down the shitter because he starts getting scared about 4chan association and wants to pass feministtests and shit like that. This results in the core story expanding unnaturally and his focus becoming diluted. Now we're stuck with a million fucking hanging plots so that he can say that he 'did it'
ii) writing has gotten worse because he has started getting feedback from retard memers. Sarcasm and wit are GOOD. So now he puts them everywhere from every character. 4 wall breaking is FUN, so obviously that TOO needs to be from everycharacter in every oppurtunity.

If the Zach from the first chapters was kept seperate from the net and assorted fags, things would be better

I get what you mean but at the same time the environment she draws these characters in doesn't give me the idea that they're poor.

As soon as the blind lesbian aka "Special snowflake OC donut steel" arrived.

So right in the middle of the ghost train arc. This was also the point where the art was getting visibly worse and writing/pacing started to completely fall apart and collapse at the seams. You could tell Zack's influences and inspirations had changed, as well as his target audience.

Hitball was where it just shits the bed and dies, and there's no going back. It took me a while to realize this, but the shitty forced melodrama between Isaac and the rest of the group, combined with how awful the art got was like a massive siren going off telling me everything I just said.

That was when the warning signs appeared, but the Train arc was pretty good if only because the conversation between Spender and Forge was fantastic and was enough on it's own to salvage everything else.

Then Hitball started, which wasn't bad in and of itself. Then, Zack basically started trying to check boxes for his new progressive tumblr fans, which involved creating a million irrelevant bullshit plotlines and reducing the humour to banal pseudo-subversiveness and whacky faces. He also got super fucking lazy and slowly shifted his art-style to something that is completely soulless but really easy to work with and bring to a professional standadrd on a purely technical level.

Shoving minorities into your comic for the sake of diversity without actually giving them any coherent place in the story like you're ticking off boxes on a checklist seems a little exploitative to me.

Like, would you want to be represented by a guy who is only there as a mannequin for the author to point at and say 'Look! You're represented!', really?

It's kinda fucked up from an ethics standpoint. Is this honestly how the alt-left works?

Drunken rant incoming.
I'm a speedreading pleb and I don't expect much from webcomics so most of what co has to say about it doesn't concern me that much.
I used to compare it to egs but with very different art for the similar plot (childrens get magic and a fuckton of plot threads get pulled).
I know co hates egs but I think each of thoses two should learn a bit from the other. Dan has progressively learned autistic tier discipline in writing, consistency anf efficiency at the cost of having his art feel a tad bit artificial. He also didn't loose too much of his soul to the SJWs even if he's way more apologetic than necessary.
On the other hand, zack had a very dense and rich visual and textual composition that made me like it despite its shortness. But he reacted very badly to feedback.
I think it's like comparing talent to hard work. As much as paranatural has more soul to it, egs will keep its momentum and be around until when dan kicks the bucket (especially since it's dan's fetish relief). I'd still be okay with the current state of paranatural if I had a guarantee zack would never let it die, because I'd be fine waiting very long for all the plotlines to be resolved but his current descent seems to be heading toward an end for the comic.
>>
>>90532351
Zack has been careful to give Day and Zarei places in the story, though.
>>
>>90532351
It's just them doing the bare minimum as to receive praise within an echo chamber of so-called progressives. Honestly, it makes attempts at including a character that just so happens to be a minority in one's work difficult because they get painted under the same brush as people like Zack.

It really depends on the writer.

A female artist and I were being tutored by a pro comic artist. When we revealed our projects, the recurring trend was that I strayed towards female characters while she tended towards male characters. Some people just prefer writing the opposite sex, even if the writing isn't sexy.

My ass. I read EGS back in High School. It's just a bad fetish comic. The characters are dull, the art is stiff, and it has been dragging along for YEARS.

Well that's just it: they try their best. They put on a good show. But if you're in the situation that monster claims to be in, you do not have the funds and time to take care of your yard, dust, sweep, vaccuum and mop a house that size, keep up with all the amenities (replacing all blown bulbs), do hobby gardening, keep your place perfectly tidy AND spend a healthy amount of time each day looking for a job. That's just not happening in a home of that size and quality, ESPECIALLY two months out from the last paycheck.

Even worse, though, is that this is a storytelling sin. The rooms characters inhabit, ESPECIALLY during times of duress, should tell you about them. What do they prioritize, what are their flaws, etc. So not only does this fail to convey the situation, but it fails to convey character as well.

Have we found out what the deal is with Isaac yet and why no one will give him a straight answer about anything?

>I want to alienate an entire existing and potential audience because I am incapable of accepting nuance within a community. That's why I love tumblr so much!

Like sure, 4chan isn't any paragon of quality when it comes to the community, but it's so baffling to see it treated like a homogeneous group of hivemind stormfront memers. Ignoring entire threads of valid criticism because you had to see the word "faggot" on your computer screen is laughably thin-skinned.

I read like the first couple chapters of Monsterkind but I couldn't get into it because of the weird sesame street art style, just not my thing. Does Kip ever get his dick touched? The prospect of seeing him completely awkward in a relationship is the only thing that makes me want to pick it up again.

>how many months since Isaac's last appearance
If Zack had any sense condensing his pages, we'd be long seeing Tumblr and /co/'s wet dream of Max and Isaac apologising to each other by now...goddammit, Zack.

While I mostly agree, it just feels entitled to think that 4chan should have any say in how Morrison does his comic. He's allowed to decide who he feels has valid criticism or not. He shouldn't have to listen to 4chan anymore than he should have to listen to tumblr or Twitter.

That's not to say there's nothing useful to pick up from the criticism that goes on in these threads. I feel like he could gain a lot from them. It's just not something he owes to anyone. /co/ is no exception.

I wish he would listen though. Because I miss when this was a comic I could enjoy and recommend wholeheartedly.
>>
>>90545146
I think that's fair. There's no way to make a comic appeal to absolutely everyone, and as much as I appreciate the brutal honestly on 4chan it doesn't make the critique necessarily any better or more helpful than other sites.
I guess what bothers me most about that tweet is 1) its dismissal of an audience that was, at some point at least, pretty damn supportive of his comic and 2) its needless virtue signalling, like shoving a bunch of underdeveloped diversity and pastel colors into the comic are going to scare away the 4chan goblins like the righteous fire of social justice. It's just the absolute lowest common denominator appeal to moral superiority.


At the end of the day he doesn't really owe anyone anything-- except his patrons, maybe-- but it still sucks to see decisions being made to appeal to one particular crowd that lower the quality of the art and story in the end. And if neither of those are compelling anymore it makes you wonder why it's even happening still.

Why do any of you think that zack hates 4chan because of the """bigotry"""? He posted that tweet right around when the comic became shit yes, but that was also around the time he met his tumblr girlfriend. It's purely virtue signalling to his girlfriend by agreeing with tumblr, and by extension her, that 4chan is the racist bogeyman of the internet.
Not that ever since he got tumblr AIDS that he would be willing to even bother with half an ounce of criticism.

I just checked on the paranatural patreon page, and zack's currently getting 1,605 dollars every month

Didn't this number use to be at $5000??!? Or something much higher?

I was about to make a post about how pandering to an audience (tumblr) can really make people blind to a comic's shitty writing and faults, but if Zack's income from his comic really dropped this much since he started the patreon, then maybe everyone else is waking up and smelling the ashes?

I admit I have a sick sort of glee to see Zack failing

2bh I always thought of Johnny as a pretty flat character, since he's only ever been a rowdy troublemaker

But realizing that Johnny has made some of the best moments in pnat makes me think that maybe flat characters aren't all bad

She's a girl. Kazu is a guy.
Yeah, Devil's Candy is pretty weaboo. But the first pics should have already told you that.

I like the fact that she's posting the lines when they're done. Zack used to do that, when he was still inking physically/when he used to give a damn.

>>90556195
That's still a pretty good amount of money for 5-6 backgroundless pages per month at best.
I doubt he gain a lot from ads on the website but you can add that too. And merch if he wasn't so lazy about it.

Thanks for taking the time. I'm trying to find it by backtracking in the archives, but the search function is busted and it's giving me more trouble than I expected.

Here's the image a kind anon compiled of him talking about his wrist constantly being in danger. What'd he do to his wrist that he keeps leaning on it for excuse and everyone believes him?
