Valve partnered up with Dark Horse Comics (The company that did the HellBoy Comics) and are working on a comic book that's more than 300 pages long. It includes The Sacrifice, a Portal comic, and a Team Fortress 2 comic and possibly have other stuff also.

I heard it was around $40. The TF2 comic in it should be interesting.

Dude, you can get 300 pages worth of comics for like 7 euros at any news stand.

Comics are free to read on the internet... just saying.

As long as the person that copied them onto a website doesn't get into trouble.

What Chickenmobile means is that the book is just a print version of all the comics Valve has already released online...

Is there any actual new material in it? I haven't heard if there is.

I thought the TF2 comic was new, besides 300 pages is MUCH more than Lab Rat and The Sacrifice put together.

The Sacrifice alone is 178 pages. Lab Rat is 27, so there's over 200 already. There are six TF2 comics listed on the TF2 website, four of which have numbered pages; the numbers in those add up to 50. With the other two comics they probably can't fill up more than about 5 pages (all that's left are the Mac release one and the "Jarate Master" single-page one), but that's still well over 250 right there.

Who knows what else they might include, if anything. I really am curious if there's anything new in it. I probably won't end up buying it myself, since such a large portion is already available for free, but if there does end up being new material I might consider it.
