Is it me, or does it seem like only the first of the Max Payne 3 prequel comics were written by or even looked at by Sam Lake? It\'s the only one which has even an iota of his original style of writing, his sardonic wit and love of literary and mythological references (What with Max\'s grandpa telling him the end of the Illiad, which parallels the older Max\'s troubles). The other two are morose, joyless wastes with glaring plot inaccuracies, like the part where apparently Max and Alex went on Valkyr drug busts together, when the first game is implicitly built around the idea that Max immediately transfered to DA when his family died and went undercover in the Lupino syndicate. Plus Valkyr wasn\'t on the NYPD\'s radar before then, so it couldn\'t possibly have occurred before his family died.
