It makes me so sad that as you read the Gears of War comics that are based in the Pendulum Wars, and the Aspho Fields and Anvil Gate books....you actually realize how much Adam Fenix loved his son.
Yes it got harder when Elain “disappeared” and it was just Marcus and Adam.
But when Marcus was five years old and running towards his injured dad, all Adam Fenix wanted to do was NOT be like his own stoic father. But he couldn’t do it. He physically and emotionally did not know how to lower his walls with his own damn son.
And you can tell, from some of JD’s comments in Gears of War 4, Marcus somewhat suffers the same emotional fate as Adam. The only reason if wasn’t horrible and stuffy was because JD had Anya for a mother. Both Anya and Marcus grew up under emotionally constipated parents....but they tried to rectify that for their child.
If just hurts to read about how badly Adam Fenix wanted to unconditionally love young Marcus.
Mini Book Review // Gears of War Aspho Fields
I recently got onto a kick on learning more about the Gears of War universe. I had just finished the game Judgment for the first time. It reminded me how much I loved the game series. The only media I haven’t touched for it so far was the book and comic series, and so I dove right in. The first book I the series is called Aspho Fields. It takes place after the first game for the present-day…

I just read how Carlos Santiago dies and I AM NOT OKAY.
Gears of Wad: Aspho Fields and Jacinto’s Remnant arrive in my mail tomorrow!
This bitch is getting into the extended shit! Give me ALL OF THE BACKSTORIES!
I read the comics and I NEED MORE. Can’t wait to read about Marcus Fenix being an emotionally constipated adult man and unable to tell the women he’s been with for 16 years that he loves her! And about how one squad literally saves the entire human race from utter destruction!
But seriously, I’m going to soak in every single Marcus/Anya moment and embrace the brotp that is Marcus and the Santiago Brothers.
in your head, they're still fightin' with their tanks, and their bombs and their guns, and their drones in your head, in your head, they are dying ___________________ years ago, before I saw the release of the Zombie Dom skin, I had the concept of Carlos somehow surviving Aspho Fields. As a sort of undead cyborg in the best style of Teslapunk or something, fighting by Marcus’ side. Figured I’d give that look another go (and also this song ahhh)
