From Australium to Zepheniah Mann
TF2 didn't start with a lot of story. There wasn't room for one. But as the updates got more ambitious, we found the perfect way to explore the mercs' world: comics. Over the years, the comics have spawned ancillary characters, then assistants to the ancillary characters. Companies mentioned in passing became global empires three generations old. The game that started as a handful of guys in a desert shooting at each other slowly blossomed into the most labyrinthine story in Valve history.
TeamFortress.com, Comics overview[1]


Comics are short stories that offer insight into the world of Team Fortress 2 as seen through the eyes of the mercenaries, their boss, and the colorful characters that make up their adventures. The storyline boasts a very loose continuity - although comics serve to explain concepts such as the origins of a weapon, some events may conflict.

The first six Team Fortress 2 comics, released individually to promote major updates, also introduced popular non-player characters, particularly the Administrator, Saxton Hale, Miss Pauling, and Merasmus. The same six comics were collected in Valve Presents: The Sacrifice and Other Steam-Powered Stories, a hardcover compilation of comics that are based on the lore of three Valve games. The book was published by Dark Horse Comics, and released on November 16, 2011.[2]

The comics that followed expanded into promotion of Winter Holiday and Halloween events, as well as the Robot War storyline of the Mann vs. Machine mode. With Ring of Fired, a certain segment of the comics stepped beyond Team Fortress 2 updates, beginning the Team Fortress Comics series, a long-running series that expands on character's stories and introduces the Team Fortress Classic mercenaries as adversaries. Comics are not particularly tied to ongoing Team Fortress 2 content or releases, but rather follow the characters through their search for missing Australium supplies.

Trivia

  • The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper marked the first appearance of Saxton Hale. Saxton Hale was initially sought as a one-shot gag, but later proved to be popular with the Team Fortress 2 community and became a notable figure in the game.
