Line 4:
''Paradigm Shift'' combines supernatural thriller and police procedural into a riveting action/horror story. Updates are weekly, with occasional extended (and frustrating!) breaks. Three trades have been published so far, with hopefully more to come!
Read it [https://web.archive.org/web/20130927232745/http://www.dynamanga.net/ here] or [https://web.archive.org/web/20130323050034/http://www.moderntales.com/comics/PS2.php here]. Or [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/dirktiede/ps/series.php here] for that matter. And now even [https://web.archive.org/web/20131124062311/http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/ps/part-one-equilibrium.html here] too.
Not to be confused with the [[Final Fantasy XIII|gameplay mechanic.]]
Line 13:
* [[Action Girl]]: Kate, very much. Being an athlete in her teens certainly helps.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Kate's hair tendrils grow quite a bit in the first chapter. The author actually went back and made them a more consistent size later.
* [[Bill, Bill, Junk, Bill]]: Makes an appearance in [https://web.archive.org/web/20111224095603/http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/ps/ps3-page88.html Part 3, Page 88].
* [[Buddy Cop Show]]
* [[By-The-Book Cop]]: Mike, mildly, sometimes. Gina, all the f'ing time.
Line 28:
** Though as the Artist/Author says "I do not normally do Cheesecake," most scenes that happen to have nudity/near nudity/underclothes are done that way for story purposes rather than fanservice.
** It's also noticeable because when Kate shows up in underwear it's what a woman in her line of work would actually wear -- that is to say sports bras and other sensible undergarments instead of the usually fanservicey lacy things that tend to appear. Several female readers have commented that they appreciate it.
** And [https://web.archive.org/web/20130310070810/http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/ps/p4-page60.html page 60.]
* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]]: The werecreatures in the series are apparently the result of a genetic engineering project working on using genes to aid the recuperating process. [[Gone Horribly Right|It worked.]]
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: The series seems to be heading this way. ''Someone'' federal seems to not want their involvement in the werewolf project to get out.
Line 35:
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Gina Anieliwicz
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: Every page has badge graphics for each act of the series. The badge for "Flight" makes it pretty clear what Kate's story is.
* [[Mistaken for Pregnant]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20101209022035/http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/news/p4-page27.html Kate], who promises to kill Mike for going along with it.
* [[One of the Boys]]: Kate, who fits right in with the guys.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Inevitable, though the rules have yet to be elucidated.
Line 51:
* [[Standard Police Motto]]: seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20111227134223/http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/ps/ps2-page21.html here] on the side of a police cruiser.
** [[Shown Their Work]] again however, since that actually '''is''' the motto of the Chicago Police Department.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Kate and Mike (for example, [https://web.archive.org/web/20111227150854/http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/ps/ps2-page88.html Part 2, Page 88])
* [[Vomiting Cop]]: Justified, since real life cops who have been around murders for years tend to throw up at the site of maulings like the ones in the story and even need counseling afterward.
