...and really quite boring, at least if you look at it on its own merits: the plot is often lost under heaps of drama and romantic development, the dialogue is sometimes awkward, and the art, while consistent, has a distinctly amateurish feel. But compared to the source material, it's actually very interesting. Cuanta Vida takes Team Fortress 2's basic background story and recalibrates it for drama, creating unique characters loosely based on the original classes and exploring the canon of the tf2 universe from their perspective. What stands out about CV is how different its mood is from the original game's. The angsty, drama-oriented comic is so radically divorced from the lighthearted game that the two are barely recognizable as related to each other. Whether or not this is a good thing is entirely subjective: if you have, quite understandably, become obsessed with the game's vibrant characters or entertaining setting, you may well find Cuanta Vida to be an interesting and satisfying read.
And for me? Well, suffice it to say that I don't play tf2 for the plot.
Mediocre...
