    Monster Pulse - Kids and Fun



    Okay, so it keeps being brought up in the main webcomics thread, so I feel like its time it gets it own thread.

    Monster Pulse is a relatively new webcomic, set in a world where due to some sort of scientific experiment/accident, various kids (and a few other characters) have had their organs turned into Pokemon-ish combat-capable critters. They play things rather heavily on the realistic and serious side, though the characters are still allowed some comedy through their expressiveness and personalities. And the monster designs are generally rather clever.

    Read it! Its not that long of an archive binge. M/W/F, for just over a year now.

    Anyhow! Responding to the current updates, the little vocal chord? monster is absolutely adorable. I want that in plushie form like now.
    Edit: I just archive binged the whole thing and noticed the current chapter title.

    I love love love this webcomic. Great concept, great intriguing story, and totally believable character interactions.
    Along with my space-setting forum adventure, I have many PROJECTS and CONTESTS, as viewed below. I like to think of myself as an ideas man, and an inspirator of others.

    I think he's just jelly. He wants the attention and West has kind of been shunning him.

    Story guesses: The baby with no voice will be the child of one of the shady organisation guys. They've been experimenting on their own child!

    Guys, Abel does not resemble Dave Strider. On a related topic, did you know that sunglasses were invented and worn by people BEFORE Homestuck?
    pfffft. Yeah, right.

    Guzzy really doesn't seem to like West's lies!
    I wonder what else West is going to do...
    I hope nothing too rash.

    What is he lying about, not touching the radar and being up to things?

    Re: Monster Pulse

    I don't think West has been upfront to the others but really Julie with how his parents act in regards to him and Guzzy!
    "I told them I'd be out" in the latest page, Julile either grossly misinterpreting West's feelings about his situation or him not being upfront with it, the dinner party and how he feels about it.
    I mean, I might be reading too much into this, but this chapter is seemingly sort of about West and his situation and if he's really prepared to deal with this whole heroism deal as much as he says he is.

    And that bring me to wondering how Mangolia is going to have this go in regards to the secret existence of the monsters. I think that this might be the sort of story where it's going to eventually be revealed at large, but at the same time that happens a bit too much in this sort of story doesn't it...

    Re: Monster Pulse

    I'm really interested to see what Guzzy will do this chapter if he gets fed up with West or jealous.

    No matter what happens, I think West's stress and feelings will get the best of him and Bina will be the one to comfort him. Y'know, with her power of having a big heart and all.

    Re: Monster Pulse

    So do we actually think the chosen body part somehow reflects someone's personality? Or is it totally random?

    Personally I'm leaning towards randomness at the moment.

    Re: Monster Pulse

    It seems pretty random, but there's probably some sort of reasoning
    if you think about it-
    Bina- caring, very concerned about everyone, loving Heart
    Julile- sort of a tomboy, had really long hair, but when asked about growing it back declared "I'm gonna be punk forever"
    Abel- seems sort of scientific, like he can only believe anything he sees with his eyes
    Oh look, I have a Deviantart and a tumblr. I occasionally art and the chumhandle I use most is absolutlyAngelic. Be warned for random words in place of swears.

    Re: Monster Pulse

    I think the way it works is that it's completely random, but that Magnolia chose the main 4's body parts for specific reasons. I mean, Bina's is obvious, and I think Julie's and Abel's were specific character design choices.

    Oh hey there's a Monster Pulse thread now! HOORAY

    This chapter is seriously great. I mean holy wow. New page just updated a few minutes ago, and man... I would not want to be those parents.

    Re: Monster Pulse

    Timezones be crazy :V

    Someone in the comments there asked if they might have taken the baby to a doctor to see about the no voice thing; if its like all the other hosts so far, the vocal chords wouldn't just be mysteriously connected to a monster, they would be physically missing from the kid's body, which hopefully a doctor would notice :V This makes me wonder, is SHELL a government organization, or otherwise connected enough to the city infrastructure to be like "hospital case of someone missing a bodypart mysteriously, this must be one of them".

    For Julie I noticed that she was sort of a shrinking violet hiding behind her hair, and it was red. Now that it's gone she's an extreme extrovert.

    West kind of has the guts to make quick decisions, which kind of makes him the de facto leader.

    And the baby is loud and annoying. What great characterization.

    Re: Monster Pulse

    Guys, this page is just too cute. Even thought West has been kind of a jerk, Guuzy can't stay mad at him.

    Also, end of chapter, which means we get another color page soon!
