Old School Crossfire

By | March 12, 2022

To celebrate the 100th page of Crossfire, I wanted to share the original inspiration of this comic. Back when I was in high school, I worked on a bunch of various comics, card games, and video games as a hobby in my free time. One of those comics I did in high school was “Outpost Crossfire”, which was a comedic comic that was essentially a cross between Red Vs Blue and Garfield.

Unlike the modern Crossfire who are traveling mercenaries, this Crossfire was a band of marines stationed at some backwater outpost. Four of the original cast made it to the new TG-themed comic, with Arianne serving as the Rookie in the series. While these old comics are in no way canon, they are a fun read to glimpse into the past 15 years ago and see where the foundations of Crossfire came from.

You can check out all 28 pages of the original Crossfire below!

Procrastinating on writing projects is a common issue among college students, teachers, and people in the learning support sector. It might prohibit you from completing the project on time, which would result in subpar work and further pressure. There are several justifications for putting off work (such as this one: https://easilyentertainedblog.com/2019/05/02/student-writing-procrastination/ ). The writer’s resolve may be weakened by issues with, say, abstract goals and perfectionism, which might prevent the writer from getting down to business.

15 years ago, damn, a long time ever since. Fast forward today, you’re making quality comics for many people to read.

If I were an artist, I would be inspired by the evolution that your art & craft went through. So yeah, keep up the good work!
