Left 4 Dead: The Sacrifice - Part One
On Tuesday, September 14, 2010, Valve released the first of four parts of The Sacrifice comic revealing the events leading up and during The Sacrifice campaign.
The Sacrifice reveals the events from the end of Blood Harvest and shows part of the Left 4 Dead Survivors' history just after the start of the Green Flu. The comic is considered to be canon by Valve including the death of Bill one week after Blood Harvest as it was seen in The Passing.
The Sacrifice: Part One covers events from the end of Blood Harvest as the Survivors are fighting their way to the Armored Personnel Carrier sent by the Military. A small flashback revealing the past of Louis during the Green Flu is shown, along with his first encounter with the Infected.
In the present, the Survivors have made it, but their first direct encounter with the Military isn't exactly friendly, as not only are they referred to as "Tango Mikes, " but instead of the Echo Safe Zone they thought they were heading to, they are now heading to Millhaven, a location unknown to the Survivors. Upon disembarking, the Survivors are ordered at gunpoint to leave their weapons behind and are marched out of the vehicle where they are met with aggressive military personnel, who immediately do not get along with Francis. A military personnel tells them they are going to "testing, " to which Zoey reacts nervously.

You know what, I will give this comic this over anything else... this is probably the most story that anyone will ever get out of these games for those that wanted it, even though so far it is as basic as it gets. Also, that art is..... certainly something else. I mean, I don't wanna say it's bad, but how can I properly enjoy this bloodbath of zombie guts when they are all making goofy-ass faces? You just can't!

Quite awesome to see the story behind the last campaign of Left 4 Dead, and also to see the bakground story of the game. Loved it, I can't say I am that big fan of the art though.
