...Why is he firing it with his thumb in the last panel?

Nevertheless, this comic is right, I don't think I've ever used any of the other items while just sneaking around, except just for the lulz.

I hadn't noticed the thumb fire until it was pointed out, but yeah, that is weird.

Also, another great Onomatopoeia. "Foont"

That's just his really huge index finger. He'd need to be holding the gun in a very different manner in order to fire it with his thumb.

Also, if this is her Raiden, I wonder what it'll look like when she cyborgs him up.

Why does the girl on the front page of "Girl" has the same pose as Raiden in MGS2 intro?

Also, I like this version of Raiden more than MGS2 version of him.

But then again, any version of Raiden is better than original Raiden...

Anything that doesn't require killing is essentially the most moral option for subduing someone. I always use the tranq, silenced riot gun, or sleep gas just because I can clear an area without making a scene or question my decision of having to put down a human being, fake or not.

Of course, I'll pull out a shotgun if I need to.

It's funny. Almost the exact same thing happens in Deus Ex:Human Revolution. You can start with the tranq rifle, which really doesn't require any upgrading and is the only long range non-lethal option, or you start with the stun gun, which is usable against everyone and even bosses, and doesn't even take upgrades.
Meanwhile you'll find pistols, revolvers, SMGs, crossbows, snipers, grenade launchers and a couple energy weapons, and all of their upgrade kits. All of which are utterly useless for a non-lethal run, (not to mention a lot don't even take silencers) so you just keep using your silent tranq rifle the entire game.

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

How appropriate that her first MGS2 comic would release on September 11.

For those who aren't aware, 9/11 ended up playing a big factor in MGS2's development and release. Not only did it cause a delay as the game's original release date would be considered "too soon" after the attack, it also necessitated a change in some of the final parts of the game, such as having to cut out multiple instances of Arsenal Gear's destruction of New York.

The best non-lethal options are the mines and rocket launchers that release a gas that attaches fulton recovery balloons to people.

"Should I use the laser pistol again, or...?"

The way Katie drew Raiden is the most feminine I've ever seen him.

After just having bought MGS3 on my 3DS so I could try the series (katie's fault) this is the first comic in months I can relate to.

Also i had to ask the internet about Raiden because i was *sure* he was a dude but this comic confused me

eh, you're not the only one... The president grabs him in the junk because he thought he might get to feel up a lady.

I always loved using the mag whenever possible. If only it would have worked on drones as well...
