Issue 1 of the Hotline Miami 2 comic is now available on Steam from the HM2 store page, FYI folks.

Apparently Issue 2 as well. Each Issue seems to be following a different main character of Wrong Number.

Aight, so I read through the two issues, and...
Meh.
My biggest complaint has to be the writing, which is pretty wooden and unnatural sounding. Like not the way people talk. At all. I'll probably follow along until the game is released, but the quality of the comic leaves a lot to be desired for me. The only upside is that it's giving background info on the driving forces of Wrong Number's plot (So far we've seen The Fans and Jake), and that's the only thing keeping me around for it.

Well, that's disappointing, but I'm still going to take a look at it.

I read the comics. They were pretty good.
Just guessing, the other protagonists we'll see could be:
Pig Butcher
The Detective
The Writer
There's a lot more protagonists than this, but I just get a feeling that those are the ones that will be shown in the next three issues. Just intuition, mainly.

I like the Detective, and out of all the player characters I'm most eager to see where his story leads him, though I already have a hunch about how it might end. I think I'm most interested in The Fans and the Writer(I think his name is Evan?). The Fans mainly because they're fucking crazy, and that storyline seems to have the most opportunities for some of the crazy surreal nonsense that was prevalent throughout the second half of HM1(primarily, Part 3). Also, from a gameplay standpoint, I think it will be really interesting playing as all the different characters. They seem to have the most unique abilities out of anyone else, especially Corey and Alex & Ash. The Bear guy is primarily guns focused, so even though the dual wielding thing is cool.... eh. And the Tiger guy seems to be the Tony mask with a few more special maneuvers. As for Evan(who I believe is the one on the official poster for the game), I like the idea of having a character who's play style is focused around not killing people, since it's such a huge contrast to the rest of the game. Then again, I was one of the weirdo's who liked the Flatline level from HM1. Also, he's such a fish out of water character compared to the others, and I'm interested to see how that plays out. Although, something interesting that I saw was Dennaton's response to the "rape scene" that was removed from the demo. Obviously they talked about how it wasn't just for shock and that there was more to it and blah blah blah, but they also said that the game would have multiple female protagonists. Of the one's we know so far, the only playable female character is Alex(one of the the Fans with the swan mask), and even then, you play both Alex and Ash at the same time. Of the ones who have been officially announced or leaked, I don't think we've seen any other female protagonists. So there may be even more playable characters than the ones we know about right now. Then again, the article I read was from when that demo was first shown last year, so it's possible that things have changed.

That is all completely speculation on my part when I say that, though. It just seems like he's gonna get fucked hard, and I wanna see it. I have a feeling of how it might go down. And the only female characters I know of are Alex (The swan wielding the chainsaw) and Corey (The Fan wearing the zebra mask). I don't think there are any more.

I had just assumed, since I think Corey is primarily a guy's name, that the character was a guy. As for ending in tragedy... I get the feeling that there won't be many happy endings all around.

Corey was confirmed to be a girl in a pair of tweets sent by one of the devs to a cosplayer, I believe. Out of everyone, I hope that Evan makes it out alright at least. He's the one guy who doesn't (Automatically) brutally murder the people in his path in awful ways. I can't see good endings for anyone else, really, but I think (Again, purely speculation on my part) that the Detective is gonna have a run in with The Fans during his investigation, and that it'll be the end for him.

Yeah... I doubt things are going to go well for Manny(I believe that that was the Detective's name). I kind of hope that they do run into each other. Kind of have our loyalties divided as the player. Though.... Considering what was seen of the Fans, I don't think people will have much sympathy for them. Also, just by the fact that Evan isn't a brutal murderer, you know he's fucked. Nice guys finish last. I do wonder what will happen to Jacket. It seems like as Evan and Manny, we'll get to see parts of his trial... At a guess, he gets the death sentence or something. I mean, even though he was such a brutal killer, I do feel some sympathy for him.... For one, he was killing mobsters, to start with, and he was manipulated. Later, after his run in with Richter, he was brain damaged, and his girlfriend had been killed. He was used, pretty much.

Later, after his run in with Richter, he was brain damaged, and his girlfriend had been killed. He was used, pretty much. I think that having Manny kill one of The Fans first (Maybe one of the twins?) and seeing the other Fans get sad and pissed off enough to brutally murder him would alleviate that one sidedness a bit. Presenting them as humans who care about each other, despite being fucked up murderers, could work if they did it right. I think he might survive just by virtue of writing a book about the entire incident. I don't know why, but him trying to tell the story makes it seem as if he'll make it to the end (Though certainly not untouched). Jacket probably will get the death penalty, unless something happens to interrupt the trial. Maybe he'll get a lesser sentence if Manny and Evan can dig up proof of the existence of the Janitors, but if the trial goes through the Jacket is pretty much done for. Kinda strange, really, since we saw him murder people by the hundreds in the first game. If he cared about his freedom/life, why wouldn't he murder his way out of the courtroom? Maybe he's looking to atone for the things he did?
