Time Is a Flat Stepping Disc Part 369 The Illyana Rasputin timeline issue by issue
X-Men vol.3 #41 As the X-Men reflect on recent events, they cannot deny that despite early doubts, Illyana has taken up an important role in the defense of mutantkind.
Comic Critique #1
NO, NOT MY FAVORITE TEAM FORTRESS 2 CHARACTER! MEDIC NOOOOOOO!
Christ Valve, what do you have against Medic! First, you send out an okay update where he barely gets any lines... Then you send out a crappy update where he gets no lines AT ALL, in which you give him a thing to replace the use of the quick-fix... Then you have his voice actor randomly call us up in September to say hi for a bit... Then you give him the best scream fortress item of 2016, AND NOW YOU HAVE HIM DIE IN ONE OF YOUR COMICS!?!?!?!
Now, I really don’t want to question your idea on this, but I just have to ask because it’s the only question that has been on my mind this whole year... DO YOU LOVE HIM OR NOT, I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE!!!
Sorry guys, I really am excited that FINALLY the comics are here, but at the same time, this picture does seem promisingly well drawn... and that’s why I’m going to talk about it with you guys for my first Comic Critique.
I like how they managed to fit all the characters from the comic onto on cover. There expressions really match with what’s going on in the picture, especially with that sad teardrop blue color scheme.
I also love the focus point, though it might not be in my taste. It still manages to catch my eye by shifting from that sad blue to an anguished red color that settles in the background, sorta’ like this is taking place during dawn. How the Heavy screams as he mourns for the loss of his dear comrade and coworker, dead and covered in holes on his chest.
This could be symbolism for the fact that there hero has fallen, as referenced by the fact that the cover is a redraw of a Superman comic cover.
Why they chose this specific cover could also be foreshadowing what might happen to the Medic. Now I’m only just speculating from what I know, but if medic does die in the comics... (which we all better hope doesn’t happen) he might end up coming back to life due to the fact that he is joked about as the “Ubermensche” in game. And what does that mean when translated... it means SUPERMAN! This means that he might comeback in some sort of way or form that will probably be of much importance in the seventh and final installment of the numbered comics. Or I could just be paranoid like everyone else and maybe it’s just a stupid cover concept they used to lure us suckers in like fish on a hook, and oh did we bite the shit out of that hook. Now all they have to do is reel us in right? Well, they’ve already done that by portraying something that might be speculated spoiler for the new comic. Why I highlighted that word is because it’s obvious that some of us are not to sure if this whole thing is true or not. I mean for all we know, they might be lying about it coming out this week and decide to push it back even further. Aside from that, we shouldn’t be so quick to judge a book by it’s cover.... unless your me... and your doing a review on it. __M_Y__R_A_T_I_N_G_______________________________________
Coloring: 9/10 Nice color scheme, it fit’s the theme of the cover but it’s a little too boring in the rest of the picture.
Contrast: 10/10 Beautiful, I like how the shading really helps make the perspective more visible. It also works with how gloomy and subtle the atmosphere of the picture is too.
Perspective: 10/10 The perspective is really good too, I like the arrangement of characters hiding in the background while the center of attention (Heavy and Medic) manage to literally capture all the spotlight. Technique: 8/10 I really like way how Heavy and Medic are drawn, this being a comic cover it’s always impressed me how detailed the TF2 covers can be. However for this instance, the characters in the background seem to be lacking in much further detail. But I can understand the need to leave it like this because of the need for all of the focus to be in the front of the cover.
Subject: 10/10 The cover manages to hook in the crowed with an idea of what could happen in the comics, specifically what might happen after Medic tries to fight Classic Heavy or the Leech Robots. The tone really conveys a sad image that might lead anyone who cared about these two characters to tears. Overall Effort: 9/10 There was quite a lot of effort that went into making this cover, and though it has a few tiny little things. This was well designed and the layout of everything is well drawn too. Whatever it’s trying to warn us about when the comic does release, does look promising judging by how amazing and legit it looks. ________________________________________________________________ My Final Thoughts So I have two questions to ask myself that probably who ever was willing to read through this whole thing will ask. First question, is the comic cover good? Yes... In fact, it managed to get me intrigued into looking forward to the new comic. I was so hyped, I EVEN WROTE A REVIEW ABOUT IT! What are my feelings about the new comic coming out?... IT’S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME! I really hate how long it took for this thing to come out, I would be even more hyped to see it if they hadn’t worn down my patience with how bad most of this year’s content was for the game and how long it took for them to get the comic done. Valve, if your reading this... I hope that this comic doesn’t turn out rushed, sloppy, and is very well written because I’m planning to do a review on that too. If I really like it, I’ll even do an analysis on every single comic and cover you guys send out. Hell, I’ll make a whole damn webpage all about it if I have to, so stay tuned folks and feel free to add any criticism on my own criticism.
