Pauling, and Zhanna facing off against impossible odds - all without weapons, they are taken out by Gray's bloodsucking robots which seem to kill them off for real. ![]() Old Wounds ends with Soldier, Pyro, Demo, Spy, Ms.Pauling tells the team that Gray's robots run on piles of money. The next TF comic is about Saxton Hale explaining to the mercs what to do while he fights a yeti, while Ms. Redmond and Blutarch are brutally murdered by Gray in cold blood as he begins preparing for his robot takeover of Mann Co.Here are some of the best examples of this: While many update comics feature absurdly comedic situations, nearly all of them are treated as canon. Burn Scars, Burning Powers: The flamethrower wielding Pyro from Team Fortress Classic is seen unmasked, and she turns out to have a burn scar over one eye.However, in Team Fortress Comics, the RED mercs are treated as the only present day team of mercs that exists. Pauling refers to Blu Team in Meet the Director, Redmond and Blutarch refer to their simultaneous mercenary teams, and the Catch-Up Comic shows a mixed team of BLU and RED. The mercs are typically seen as RED, and each merc is never seen on both teams at the same time. Ambiguous Situation: The composition of the BLU Team is a complicated subject, when it comes to how it's depicted in the comics.Classic Heavy and Miss Pauling even imply that the mercs' team isn't called RED at all alongside the Administrator's other teams (Team Echelon, Team Citadel, and Team Vanguard), they're Team Fortress. ![]() Adapted Out: The BLU team don't appear at all in Team Fortress Comics though the Engineer appears wearing blue, he's implied to be the one who was on the same team as the RED members.Adaptation Expansion: As admitted on the website, Team Fortress 2 didn't start out with much story or lore, but comics proved to be the perfect medium to explore the Team Fortress universe in all its wacky, asinine glory.Absurdism: Perhaps the best way to describe the comics' sense of humour.While the canonical winner is still unknown, all of the mercenaries being part of RED team in the main "Mann Co No More" comics imply that Redmond won and Blutarch was the one sent to hell first. The last time the conflict between them is shown is in the "Grave Matters" comic which set up the Helltower event in Scream Fortress where both teams attempt to send either Redmond or Blutarch to hell to finally settle the debate. There is only shown to be one team now, Redmond and Blutarch were killed off, and they never explain why both teams were run by the same Administrator. ![]()
