    Just finished my first vanilla XCOM2:WotC playthrough. The new additional scenes in the extro sure add to the overall victory feeling! Also, the hints towards an XCOM3 water-related theme are nice (Tentaculats, I'm ready for you!)

    John De Lancie is really good, as usual. The other two also fit in nicely :)

    Xcom Legacy pg 8 This took a bit longer then it should, here is the ADVENT language as well. Another note the man interviewing is one of the so-called ADVENT champions that Amanda burn was able to make for me and used her character sketch for this introduction.

    So ADVENT's cartoon series continues, a quick work by Secto's friends uncover that this treatment is a pretence, but how to expose it? The mysterious elder is there to help Secto in his time of need. An inverse series set within xcomlegacy. With thanks to labylaby

    In case of pg 5 and 6 the work was already done (bit restricted on things i told labylaby to get let him use his own judgement on the details given) so proof reading should be sorted by pg 7, just been very busy recently. Incidently frames 3 and 4 take their inspiration from thundercats 80's version, when jaga often gave lion-o the lecture of the day!In case of pg 5 and 6 the work was already done (bit restricted on things i told labylaby to get let him use his own judgement on the details given) so proof reading should be sorted by pg 7, just bee...See more

    So after much slaying and sacrifices to the dark lord Artus I finally got a ring and was then promptly put on hold again reminding me that my summoning was important and will get back in touch with me shortly. At that point I decided to draw the damm thing myself, here it is the Trinity War tribute with Faleg, Pounce and Brutal Barbarian.

    Part of the comic, Origin is just a little series of snippets showing the past in relation to the legacy comic. I have some more planned in the future but for now I posted this one up. Here it's set in 2017 (which will be a date referred to as the comic progresses. Not only iis the style for this realistic but I have no issue useing actual popular culture refrences, be it actual political events (just after start of 2015) as well as media culture. In this case the actors of once TV series 'Dr Who' reprise their role for a one off promotional video giving the series a 'true ending' with the Doctor and carla settling in ADVENT'S new cities, though once the camera stops filming, their services are no longer required. The last frame is actually a reference to an item the commander may or not have picked up during the playthrough of Xcom 2. If you seen this image before then you pretty much figured out whose origin this is.Part of the comic, Origin is just a little series of snippets showing the past in relation to the legacy comic.

    Found by chance but here's a GDC commentary of xcom (much like the gollop video) but involving 2012 game with greg. If you have over an hour it's worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyW61bMYqyQ&t=159s

    Here's some info, I spoke to a member of Xcom art staff, I don't have acknowledgment to give the person's name but I can put down what he told me. The reply was in response to a question I asked if there was any existing xcom 2012 Bradford and vahlen concept art.This was the reply:

    'Hi Daniel, thank you for your email! I'm really happy that you're such a fan of our games!!...Vahlen and Central did not actually have concept art - they were done directly by the modelers, so I've reached out to them to see if they have any extra material or anything that could be useful for your fancomic.'

    So there you have it, some additional back info on xcom. They may not have extra material but I am quite pleased with how firaxis staff are quite open. Will I get any extra material we'll just see but here is some info for those to know.
