>>1052756 Jesus Christ, how long was itsince the last one? >that last page

>>1052756 Wow a Christmas miracle. I thought this was 100% dead.

WHAT THE FUCK HAS HELL FROZEN OVER?

>>1052756 Honestly. After that I've heard they fixed the game. The final one couldn't be better. But this also means no team fortress 3

>>1052771 >But this also means no Team Fortress 3 They do a subtle visual gag that sets up a hypothetical TF3, but unless it drops, it's a visual gag.

>>1052773 Sorry being a bad reader. But where is that?

>>1052756 I didn't expect an ending this straightforward.It feels nice. >>1052771 >team fortress 3 If they have nowhere to go with it there's no point. For better or worse, sequels as an obligation is anathema to Valve.

>>1052776 >Sorry being a bad reader. But where is that? When Saxton hands over Mann Co. to Reddy and Bidwell. Notice they wear blue and red ties, respectively.

>>1052768 7 years start coming and they don’t stop coming.

Imagine, is you will, out of nowhere. Half Life 3. I know it will suck, but still.

Oh my god, it's actually over. I hope to god every day we have a Team Fortress 3 made with all the love and care that went to TF2, but our reality is a cursed one. May we find happiness in death or in the simulations in the future.

>>1052781 They're probably going to put that Deadlock crap into the TF2 universe, who knows.

Will TF2 fags finally kill themselves?

>>1052783 Nah, it doesn't fit. TF2's schtick is the Australium, whereas Deadlock is the occult and those weird magic storms. Although, I wouldn't remove the chance that they make it a "lore cameo" of sorts where a parallel universe was connected to TF2 through a portal briefly and we get soldier hat cosmetics for warden, that kind of bullshit.

>>1052785 Warden's design is temporary and he's getting a completely new one at some point down the line, dialogue in-game refers to him as a "creepy homeschooled kid" wearing a Halloween costume, and he's supposedly wearing a cape which his current model lacks.

Where was pyro in the ending?

>>1052756 SEXO CON OLIVIAAAAAA

>>1052756 HOLY SHIT IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING

>>1052803 BREEDABLE

Damn, and I thought it was never going to happen. >>1052777 Is that pyro over on the far right? Build is roughly the same.

>>1052816 Here's pyro.

>>1052777 1970s scout looks so weird. He should be what, 33 here? >>1052771 >But this also means no team fortress 3 You could argue spiritually, that would be Deadlock.

>>1052817 Oh, guess that's engi then. I swear he was shorter but the comics have never been good at keeping heights consistent. Still, hell has really frozen over. Maybe this is Valve's final farewell to the game and they're just going to continue the psuedo maintenance mode at this point with the community update schedule.

He looks so.. different. He's mid 30s but they still kept his youthful look from the game. He's also a dad now

Oh, and Scout's name is Jeremy Willis. Jeremy was known to be his first name for awhile.

>>1052824 DILF FORTRESS 2

>>1052829 Everybody's a dad now, it's so funny.

>>1052830 Are you a dad?

>>1052847 My only legacy is memes, anon.

>>1052851 and hats?

Well, I haven’t read it yet but I can’t imagine it will live up to the hype.

>>1052830 Except Merasmus, he's barabait now.

>>1052781 s&box is already semi-out, fans can make their own TF3. And man, that was a good conclusion. very apt that the Administrator was looking for Australium just to torture Zephaniah Mann a while longer Also, the constant baiting to the cuckchan "leak" a while back was hilarious. As evidenced by attachment the potential already exists for more edits and macros.

>>1052889 He's Tom Jones' Daddy

>>1052891 The ending was very nice, but why did she do what she did? We know that there is ´´a reason´´, that is implicit in comic 6, the thing is the covers of comic 7, they imply that his parents died, but not the way in which that happened, leaving it to free interpretation how They died, something like the origin of the Joker, the real question is: Is Zeppenian Mann responsible for this? Let's also take into account the ghost and the space maps that were not finished, it is most likely that this is a retcon and they had another ending planned

>>1052906 Are the space maps even canon? They were a leftover idea from a previous sci-fi version of TF2 that for some reason Valve half-heartedly added almost ten years after the fact,

Well that's one more cliffhanger resolved. Now where's my Megaman Legends 3, dammit?!

>>1052910 Are the space maps even canon? They were a leftover idea from a previous sci-fi version of TF2 that for some reason Valve half-heartedly added almost ten years after the fact, those that are 100% what if are the vs Saxton maps >>1052915 the link between the classic saga and x, the elf wars, I can only say... AS I LIKE TO BE A RESIDENT EVIL FAN, THANK YOU CAPCOM FOR KEEPING THE FRANCHISE ALIVE

The comic was written by Eric Walpow.

Intrigued by these mythical mercs.

>>1052927 That world provides for many adventures of many more teams and with a lot of lore, tf3 is inevitable, we will just have to wait a decade

>>1052771 Wouldn't cause the same phenomenon as PayDay 3? <Every piece of marketable polygon down into pennies Unless they're making it exclusively for the Steam game console or any other console, because TF2 for Xbox and PS3 definitely needs a sequel in which you can swap from third person to first person now that Paladins and Overwatch shat the bed and sunk every opportunity to the fill that gap. >>1052864 >Yet they won't reveal Pyro's face, only the Spy's >>1052927 That's definitely Quakeguy on the left, the one on the right side looks like the fanmade class: The Agent, the guy with the bazooka might a reference to Day of Defeat? That game set the foundations for TF2.

>>1052864 It may not be a consistent or well planned ending, but it is at least a heartfelt one and one that ain't complete dogshit. As we've seen over the years with other media, that's a helleva lot better than what could've been.

>Valve just resolved TF2's storyline after all these years Between this, Deadlock, and the Steam Deck, Valve really has come out of their shell in recent years. Do you think the rumors are true, that they're actually making the big one?

>>1052955 >that they're actually making the big one?

>>1052955 >the big one They are already making Deadlock, I doubt they are doing other projects on top of it.

>>1052864 My feelings exactly. They could not have spelled "we're done with this project and you should also move on as well" if they went in the street and shouted it from every rooftop. I guess that what's sting the most is how much more potential the actual game had that will never really be realized outside of niche communities like Uncletopia or the VSH one. Only thing I didn't like about the comic is Medic having nothing to do. At least Demoman has a few panels. >>1052906 I'm sure they retconned a ton of stuff, this is a 7 year too late ending to the story. But the parallel to the forever-war status of TF2 as a game and the excuse plot just to keep it going makes sense - the only reason to keep fighting is for the fighting itself and no real objective.

>>1052880 Probably won't unless you're a long time fan. Lost interest in tf2 a while back myself. Still, I find endings sad more often than not.

What's your top three favorite video game comics, /v/?

>>1053012 >My feelings exactly. They could not have spelled "we're done with this project and you should also move on as well" if they went in the street and shouted it from every rooftop. I'll keep playing it until i'm dead.

>>1052906 I think the Administrator's story, best depicted by the cover image(s), is that her parents (maybe her grandparents as well or maybe her replacement guardians, etc) were effected by the Mann family's greed. Either they got caught in the crossfire of the wars the Mann family had waged with themselves while trying to get "the perfect heir" or maybe her parents were involved in some other way. I dont really have an explanation for why she appears to be at the same age in all three pictures and is surrounded by dead bodies of people wearing apparently different clothing. But in the last picture you can see they were apparently manufacturing weapons and took poison together, presumably at the horror of whatever they were doing. We do know whatever beef she had with Zepheniah was revealed to him on his deathbed before he died (for the first time) in one sentence or so. She did tell Zeph when she took on the job that she doesn't know him, but that could have been a lie, not to mention how she seemed super eager to get the job and rushed in on her own. Oddly enough, I don't feel like I 'need' to know why she did it exactly, only that it was some kind of form of revenge in mind. Only thing we don't really have an answer on is why blu and red each had the same mercenaries, but for all we know in the Red team had the mercs we're familiar with and Blu had some other rejects. I really don't know if they even want to answer that one.

sho uld i even fuckinm read it? i feel disappointed about this whole thing but finel ets read that shit wait they actually self-inserted white people in the story

>>1053110 > but for all we know in the Red team had the mercs we're familiar with and Blu had some other rejects Outside of the elephant in the room that is the ´´MEET THE TEAM´´, the comics make it more than explicit that there is only one team of mercenaries for each generation, which suggests that both mercenaries take turns, that's why everyone calls Red and Blu are their bosses, that's why in the post MvM comics Scout and Spy remember the events of the comic where they kill Old Nick but they are Blu, that's why in the MvM comic update everyone They dress in mixed clothes, and that's why the engi wears blue in all these comics, besides the fact that several times it is said that they killed each other, there is only 1 team, TEAM FORTRESS >>1053185 What the hell are you talking about?

>>1053230 Ignore it, it's some new retarded namefaggot who has been using the subject field to namefag.

>>1053233 Piccolo Daimao > Cell > Moro > Frieza > Gas > Zamasu > Buu > Jiren I'm not counting Beerus, Jr, Broly, Hit, or Vegeta since they're technically not villains in the traditional sense

>>1053233 medic ultra ego >>>>>> DB verse

I really liked this ending, happiness for all our boys.

>>1053254 Who are you quoting?

>>1053110 I think the three different tragic backstories are representative of the administrator slowly forgetting why she's seeking vengeance.

>>1053270 That makes sense

Can anyone recommend a good .cbr reader? I'm using Icecream Ebook Reader at the moment but it keeps stalling for 10 seconds and wants me to subscribe to a live service for a fucking ereader.

>>1053270 I like that explanation >>1053334 SumatraPDF is FOSS, I use it personally.

>>1053334 Mcomix. It handles double page reading really well.
