I thought Anne-Marie HAD a job: she's a camgirl!

I'll be entirely honest, I've only seen a noticeable difference on the art change only on the last panel, not that I'm complaining, just that your trial period for this art didn't brought that much results. I liked the eyes and facial expressions though. You should keep those.

@Alexander Petrov: :/

I liked the old art style way better.

@Wolf: My guess is the whole arc is designed to recontextualize the NerfNow universe and the main cast of characters. Jane is no longer Soldier-tan, she's Jane; Anne-Marie is no longer Spy-tan, she's Anne-Marie; etc.

Don't they all (except for Maggie) get millions for working at Mann Co./Saxton Hale? Or are Engie and the others just fangirls of TF2 :3?

Hello, this comic is weird...

Kinda sad I was hoping to see spy tan either keep her stream or have stolen from the life and brought with her . Hope she gets her stream back.

Ground Zeros is very important to TPP's story.
But it's short enough that you could watch a Let's Play and you should be fine.

It'd be worth playing Peace Walker for the story, and MAYBE MGS3, but it shouldn't be that bad experiencing TPP without them.

This will end badly.

@Jo Pereira: Too much detail, too much relief on the bodysuit. We didn't see it earlier because it was black, and not even earlier because no abs : http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/480
Thanks for the changes :)

If she has the same abilities as the game character she's based on, she shouldn't have any problems finding a well paid job.

Well, at least Angie knows how to code.

Hey it's the same outfit than from F@nboy$!

I wouldn't bother playing all the MGS games, and just go read a Wiki or watch one of the hundreds of videos explaining the story. Cause you are gonna have to do that after you play the games, anyway, because MGS's story is fucked.

I always drew Angie bodysuit like that so I don't really get why people are saying it's body paint now, but still, it's a valid critic so I made some changes.

So at what point will you make good on your promise to not do exactly what you are currently doing?

Other than having Snake as a main in SSBB, I have never bothered about playing any of the MG(S) games.

Engie is saving money by painting on her outfit :p

@bodmans: About the differences with each panel or the trace: Some artists make edits in the whole day, correcting the text and making some fixes are and there, just to prevent trolling or something worse. Other point some of these artist publish one time in the week.

@Meowcate: It's a superhero comic now.

@The J Man: Patiente little grasshopper, developments like that happened before in the comic.

Still, I'm keeping an eye on feedback and will change if things don't go as planned.

Engie's hot

Jo I stuck with you from the beginning of Nerfnow and I will admit that the pacing is off for this kind of story and I feel like it's dragging out.

Just something I feel like when I read your comic lately, I'm not complaining I will stick it out to see the end.

Hm, drawing clothes isn't drawing naked body and add colors :s

To play The Phantom Pain,
you must play Ground Zeroes.

To play Ground Zeroes,
you must play Peace Walker.

To play Peace Walker,
you must play Portable Ops.

To play Portable Ops,
you must have a PSP.

Do you have a PSP?

@Andreas Schone: It's something Jo has been doing the past view pages. He changed his style, most notable of the full-front view. But whenever there is a change in pose, it fluctuates.

He's experimenting, and that's ok. he can always go back to the ''old'' style

@Clark Bannon: ...sounds kind of great, to be honesto.o

So you want to play MGS V Without playing any other MGS? :P I would never do that considering how story based MGS series are. Hell i might even pick every other game soon enought myself heh.

Am i the only one, who is wondering about the wandering forehead of Engi? I mean, in the first panel is her forehead so high, in the last panel is it correct.

Possible jobs:
Anne-Marie: Cosplayer and youtuber don't give some money?
Jane: Lazy, hardly can get a good job.
Morgan: Possible writer or journalist?
Aleksandrina: Babesitter? I see no better job to her.
Angela: Someone have to fix the new house... DIY?
Maggie the Magi: Good question! o_ô

I've gone through the numbered metal gears (not portable ops/Peace Walker) and ground zeroes gives a pretty good recap as to what happened between 3 & "now" (which still predates MGS by a good 20+ years) 3 is the only required main one to play before GZ/TPP, but there are references that'll be lost

ladies, if that can help you, i'm willing to pay the full rent, and i'll allow one of you to share the master room with me :D

If you don't want to spend almost 30 hours experiencing the modern-day epic that is Metal Gear, just play Phantom Pain cold. Ground Zeroes is more of a bridge between Peace Walker and Phantom Pain, it won't make sense if you haven't played Peace Walker, which won't make sense without MGS3, etc.

If you just want to get up to speed with Metal Gear's story, this playlist is all you need https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLae_AFHRR5HlGrWSz0sHebp8qgpRtfY6N It's long, VERY long, but will save you a great deal of time over playing each game. And no, Ground Zeroes alone isn't good prep.

You only really need to play mgs3 before gz. and nowadays, it's bundled with peacewalker, which helps to know what the hell is the. point of gz

I'm willing to wait and see where all this goes. My criticism right now is with its pacing. This arc is very different in nature from the one-shots the comic has relied on. But it's using the same three-panel/day format, which doesn't do a long-form narrative like this justice.

This... is boring. Why is this a webcomic? This is about as fun at bugs bunny going to the DMV to get his son a license.

Hey Jo, second panel speech bubble should say 'None of us have anything', 'none of us have nothing' means that they all have something.
