TF2 Revival: New Comic Arrives After 8-Year Hiatus, Fans Rejoice

The Long-Awaited Return of Team Fortress 2 Comic: "The Days Have Worn Away" is Finally Here!

After nearly eight years, the new Team Fortress 2 comic is finally here, and it’s packed with a thrilling tale of history, redemption, and the magic of Smissmas! Valve has released the seventh issue, titled "The Days Have Worn Away," which explores a sprawling narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

According to Valve, it’s been "very, very relieved" to have this latest chapter of the Team Fortress 2 comic completed, but emphasizes that it could have been worse. Did you know that the construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa took 199 years to finish? That’s a long time, but you made it out of issue seven’s seven-year delay alive! So, take a deep breath and dive into this gripping tale, prepared to be surprised, emotional, and a bit strange.

The Soldier Takes Center Stage

In "The Days Have Worn Away," the Soldier takes center stage, and I won’t spoil the surprises for you, but there’s a lot going on in this issue! It gets dark in some parts, emotional in others, and finishes on a festive note. A nice touch: the comic is dedicated to Rick May, the voice of the Soldier, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 79 after contracting Covid-19.

Praise and Lot of Joy

The return of the Team Fortress 2 comic has been met with widespread enthusiasm, and it’s not hard to see why. As PC Gamer’s Rich Stanton pointed out, the previous issue in the series, "The Naked and the Dead," emerged in January 2017. That’s just a month shy of eight years ago – a testament to the legendary "Valve Time"!

For many, the release of this next issue is a cause for celebration. Check out this heartwarming image from Reddit where fans are rejoicing:
