Episode Description

Hello all! We apologize for the terribly long time it took for this episode to come out. It seemed it took almost as long for this episode to come out as did this comic to finish! And just like when this comic was finished, we all rejoiced that there was finally an ending. 

All jokes aside, for our second book in the theme of comics based on video games, we are reviewing the Team Fortress 2 comics. These comics takes place in an alternate 1972 and focuses on a company called Mann Co. and the mercenaries who have been employed by that company over the years. Mann Co. is notable because they have a large stockpile of Australium, a golden metal that can be used to keep someone alive past their normal lifespan. After a hostile takeover of the company it is revealed that someone has stolen all of the Australium from the vault and it becomes a treasure hunt to find the remaining supply between the mercenaries (Soldier, Pyro, Demo-man, Heavy, Sniper, Spy, and Scout) working for the mysterious Administrator and their competitors, the Team Fortress Classic team, working for Grey Mann, the new CEO of Mann Co. All while the previous CEO, Saxton Hale, works to try and regain control of the company.
