L4D: Comics

[Blink]

Valve recently announced the L4D comics which should be a treat for fans of the game:

Welcome to the first chapter in our four-part Left 4 Dead comic, the Sacrifice! Find out what happens after the military rescued Francis, Louis, Zoey, and Bill at the end of the original Left 4 Dead in four weekly installments, each a whopping 40-plus pages of story and art. Then, download the new DLC "The Sacrifice", where we put the story’s conclusion into your hands.

You can also grab wallpapers of the artwork.

The art is cool, but the dialogs sucks tbh

[Text_Fish]

Yeah, really awkward script.

what is so bad about the script? kinda made me chuckle a few times

[Furling]

I liked it can't wait for the rest of the comics and the DLC, hopefully it will be better than The Passing

[Saxon]

Yeah, really awkward script.

I'll second that, kind of reminds me why I hate comics. I'm not sure that such a blatant marketing activity could even be called fanservice.. the story was boring, the jokes were cliche and flat, lastly the artwork looks like a scrawled mess.

For instance look at this panel here:


It looks like there are teeth growing out of Bills beard.

Man, compared to this the Doom comic was a pleasure to behold and to read.

nit picking imo

This would thrilling if L4D were any good!

nit picking imo

Nah, just too lazy to list out everything I dislike about the comic

Arhh, I dunno. It seems like it's just thrown together real fast to get some attention solely on the popularity of the original game. It doesn't really have any pop about it. It's just... Well... "Look guys, it's Left 4 Dead, the game you all loved! There's Bill, see? It's BILL!"

That said, I did enjoy the cheesy dialogue. "I heard ya the first time, kid. I just wasn't done!".

Arhh, I dunno. It seems like it's just thrown together real fast to get some attention solely on the popularity of the original game.

Technically its advertising an add-on for both games.
Plus it gets everyone pumped for Bill in L4D2!
