    Concerned Comes to a Close

    The Half-Life 2 based comic, Concerned, has wrapped up its long standing story that followed the "half-life and death" of its main character, Gordon Frohman.



    The comic was created by Christopher Livingston and spanned a total of 205 pages that re-told some of the events of Half-Life 2 from the perspective of Gordon "wrong man in the wrong place" Frohman.
    Concerned is the story of Gordon Frohman, former Black Mesa entry-level employee, survivor of the Portal Storms and the Seven Hour War, and now earnest and hard-working citizen of City 17. Frohman is a simple guy trying to earn an honest buck in a post-apocalyptic world ruled mercilessly by hordes of heavily armed alien hybrid soldiers (called Combine) bent on draining the Earth of its last natural resource and exterminating the human race. He also enjoys playing backgammon.



    Gordon Frohman arrives on the scene a few weeks before Doctor Gordon Freeman — scientist, hero, anti-citizen, and star of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 — first appears in City 17. Due to the similarity in their names, Frohman is often initially mistaken for the crowbar-wielding Freeman, though due to Frohman's chatty nature and general incompetence the error is usually sorted out fairly quickly.
    I'd just like to say congratulations to Chris for his great work on the comic. For those who have yet to read it, it's well worth it, and there's no place like the beginning to get yourself started.

    Yeah, followed this comic from the beginning(ish) to the end..there are some real gems in there, especially the counter-strike ones.

        I just sat and read the whole thing, start to finish.



        Great strip. I'm going to show it to my girlfriend...after I finish showing her HL2:E1, after HL2, after HL:S. Good thing is, I'm already halfway through showing her HL:S. She likes to watch zombies die. What more could you want in a girlfriend?



        Anyhoo, back on topic, great comic! Let's hope he does another Gary's Mod strip.
