Well, that was nice [sp]now we gotta wait for, I hope, the conclusion of this journery[/sp]

Where the hell is Olivia at?

Just realized the bit where [sp]Heavy brakes TFC Heavy on his knee[/sp] is probably a reference to

Incidentally, their execution is closer to when Superman does that to Batman in the Injustice comics.

Okay, in all seriousness, valve needs to do SOMETHING with the TFC Mercs in Tf2, having them as playable characters would be amazing, disastrous, unrealistic, and costly, but still, SOMETHING needs to be done with them. Valve's invested WAY too many people's attention to them in the comic to not do anything with them

They're playable in, well, TFC.

[gigazelle]

Best TF comic to date. That was fantastic. We also got to see some canon confirmed as well, which is also nice.

[QUOTE=Drury;51652908]They're playable in, well, TFC.[/QUOTE]

But still, having them as MVM like bosses, reskins, or something, even with that age-regressing BS with Australium, they have to have something cooking up with it.

Holy crap the artstyle shift.

The new comic looks so much better it's ridiculous.

[SirGentlemann]

So is Medic's first name Ludwig or did the devil say it like a formal last name?

[Cufflux]

[QUOTE=Drury;51652925]Holy crap the artstyle shift.

But the poses in the old comic are really expressive. Sure the linework is looser, but that doesn't make it worse.

can't think of famous people off the top of my head with ludwig as a last name, and calling people by their last name is rather uncommon

so i think it's his first name

[jimbobjoe1234]

I wish we could get Satan as a Halloween boss.

[haggarman]

I wish we could get demoman's eyeball as a halloween boss

Ludwig van Beethoven comes to mind.

Now I'm curious about something: [sp]Have they given any hints of what The Administrator has been trying to settle? I know it's not the Australium, she just needs that to last long enough to accomplish that goal.[/sp]

[Karmal]

[QUOTE=haggarman;51653011]I wish we could get demoman's eyeball as a halloween boss[/QUOTE]

Naw that's too ridiculous...

[GuntMyFries]

That was pretty good! Once again, it blends serious narrative and comedy pretty dang well. Here's hoping for a incredible conclusion.

It's gotta have something to do with Zephaniah. That's the only character I could think of that she had a meaningful connection with. Maybe she wanted to bring him back from the grave? Australium seems to do just about everything, so why not bring back people who've been dead for over a century?

[Mort Stroodle]

[QUOTE=Hell-met;51651584]it would mean every single player rolls for the chance, constantly. every day every week.

while a specific time means only the first player to finish a tour after the pan is "triggered" would get it.

The 2nd reflects the current state of pans alot more accurately[/QUOTE]

But that doesn't make any sense. Even if every single person on the planet played 100 tours of MvM a day, if they made the chances for getting a pan something miniscule like 1 in 10^100 none of them would ever appear. Just because it's a static value doesn't mean anything.

[Killer Monkey]

What was the point of finding all that Australium if she could do it in an hour?

[jimbobjoe1234]

She can only stay alive for an hour.

[Drury]

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;51653045]What was the point of finding all that Australium if she could do it in an hour?[/QUOTE]

I think she had a greater plan in store but the situation at hand got her to improvise.

[Blackavar]

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;51653084][img]https://i.imgur.com/WoDpppJ.png[/img][/QUOTE]

that's what i get for only reading the comic once.

I still think it's his first name though, as those methods of referring to people aren't universal in meaning

You gotta love how the comic actually referenced the Beta Badlands's original weapon wall model.

[sp]sorta rushed this out so dont judge the shitty point outs[/sp]

[Blackavar]

were TFC (edit) Scout and Soldier about to get their gay on before [sp]Pyro roasted them[/sp]?

because i am in full support

[Stroheim]

I am calling this right now, at the very end:

[sp]Sniper's mom's Rocket comes crashing down to Earth, killing the administrator in a ironic death (she died from a literal rocket of Austrialium after looking for it for so long) Of course the team and Pauling see this happen to her.

Before this, she finally deals with the last remaining heir to Zachiarah Mann's will, Charles Darling, as her mother wanted to have the badlands/gravel fortune belong to Helen/The people, but it got jacked by the Mann brothers or Hale's dad.

Darling would have taken Mann Co from Olivia in a Arm Wrestling competition or something along those lines.

We finally see Scout kiss/get lesbian revealed by Pauling in this[/sp]

If these things are not the case, I will shocked.

I still don't see why she wants to bring Zephaniah back, he was the one who gave Elizabeth (Grandmother/Mother?) his fortune, including the Australium he found.
