Through THIS ARM!!

I discovered The Last Days of FOXHOUND today. It's about a rag-tag band of misfits who wander through their assignments and, almost by coincidence, set themselves up to be the Robot Masters rogue special ops team that Solid Snake takes down in Metal Gear Solid.

Watching the pieces come together (the helicopter! the tank! the shirt!) is great if you can still remember how the game played out at this point, and it's a fun story on top of that.

It's also complete, for which I'm glad. Looks like it ran 100 comics a year for five years, and although it was fine at the reading-through-the-archives pace, I think it would have been too slow-moving for me at a twice-weekly update schedule.
