The Naked and the Dead (aussi connu sous le nom de Team Fortress Comics #6) est une bande dessinée publié le 10 janvier 2017. C'est l'avant-dernier partie d'une série de sept comics, qui reprend là où Old Wounds s'était arrêté.

Synopsis

La bande dessinée commence avec l'hallucination de Miss Pauling, pendant qu'elle est en train de saigner, et inconsciente après l'attaque des robots sangsues de l'équipe Team Fortress Classic. Elle se réveille dans un désert avec une porte désincarnée devant elle, dans laquelle elle rentre. Derrière cette porte se trouve la salle de contrôle de l'Administratrice. Après un bref échange, Miss Pauling admet l'échec de sa tentative d'obtenir le dernier lingot d'Australium à l'Administratrice, et questionne cette dernière à propos de ce qu'elle veut vraiment; toutefois, Miss Pauling est brusquement réanimée par le Medic, qui la sauve en injectant du sang sucé par les robots dans son corps, et ensuite procède à la réanimation du Soldier d'une manière similaire. Lorsque Miss Pauling questionne le Medic, le Demoman est aperçu en train de combattre le reste des robots, et le Medic répond que les robots ont été empoisonnés et affaiblis par le sang du Demoman, contenant un taux élevé d'alcool. Dans l'hallucination du Demoman, son foie est révélé comme étant fonctionnel à nouveau, pendant que le reste de son corps essaye de distillé l'alcool.

Pendant ce temps, les mercenaires Classic confrontent le Heavy de TFC au sujet de la façon dont ils vont recevoir leur paiment après avoir tué Gray Mann. Le Heavy de TFC les convaint furieusement que l'appareil de prolongement de vie valait la peine d'y aller sans paye, mais l'Engineer de TFC est réticent à approuver. Frustré, le Heavy de TFC ordonne à l'Engineer de TFC de réactiver le reste des robots de Gray afin de tuer les mercenaires actuels, et il obéit.

La bande dessinée revient au groupe original , avec le Scout et le Heavy parachutant vers Miss Pauling. Au moment où le Scout donne un câlin à Miss Pauling, le Medic révèle qu'elle ne devrait plus être donnés de câlins puisque cette action compresse un peu de song sang hors de ses yeux. Le Heavy salut sa soeur Zhanna, mais est surpris qu'elle ai perdue une main, et devient ensuite agacé à l'idée qu'elle est devenue fiancé avec le Soldier, et qu'ils prévoient avoir des enfants. Le Scout dévoile à Miss Pauling la découverte du vol de l'Australium, et que Saxton Hale et sa partenaire Maggie ont été sur l'île eux aussi, qu'ils ont probablement sautés de l'avion en même temps que lui et le Heavy. Cependant, ils sont rudement interrompus au moment où ils se tournent, une horde de robots réactivés de Gray Mann s'approchent et Saxton Hale and Maggie sont toujours portés disparus.

La bande dessinée reprend au moment ou Saxton Hale et Maggie sont dans l'avion de Hale, qui étaient trop occupés à parler pour suivre le Scout et le Heavy, qui avaient sautés de l'avion une heure plus tôt. Après que leur pilote Jerry les avertis que l'avion n'a plus de carburant, Hale et Mags font tomber des munitions ainsi que des caisses d'armes Mann co. aux mercenaires en bas, avant de sauter de l'avion (avec Jerry) pour leur apporter de l'aide à combattre les robots. Malheureusement, le Sniper de TFC est en train d'observer le combat et se prépare à faire feu sur le Heavy, juste avant que le Spy déguisé en l'Engineer de TFC le distrait en cognant à la porte, dans l'initiative de le piégé dans une embuscade mené par le Sniper, qui se tenait à l'extérieur de la porte. Dut aux yeux mécaniques du Sniper de TFC, le déguisement du Spy échoue à le truqué, et le Sniper de TFC tire le Spy dans le genou. Le Sniper court vers une autre pièce, brise la vitre et essaye de Sniper runs to another room, breaks the window and tries to climb round the building to surprise TFC Sniper. The Spy distracts TFC Sniper by asking him for a cigarette as a final request, which buys enough time for Sniper to enter a window, take TFC Sniper's rifle, and kill TFC Sniper with a headshot without any hesitance.

Back at the battleground, Demoman takes cover while Medic stitches up a wound in his leg. It is revealed that Demoman has a cursed eye socket which causes any replacement eye the Medic gives him to mutate on Halloween night, attacking the team in various ways. To prevent Demoman from questioning him, Medic also reveals that he had removed part of Demoman's brain which remembers the events. After promptly forgetting the recent events, Demoman walks away, giving TFC heavy an opportunity to threaten Medic into placing the Life-Extender device into him. Medic instead attacks him with his Ubersaw, but fails to kill him. Heavy attempts to save Medic, but TFC Heavy shoots Medic fatally with a Pistol. Enraged, Heavy attacks him.

The comic moves to TFC Soldier and TFC Scout in a weapons storage room, who are presumably killed by Pyro as seen by the giant fire in the background.

Then the comic moves to Scout moving to a "less naked fighting place" while Ms Pauling just gawks in awe as Zhanna and Soldier fight while nude and covered in honey. Saxton and Maggie follow suit, just with clothes on and only using fists.

The comic turns to the more violent side as Heavy, in a burst of outrage starts brutally beating TFC Heavy, despite TFC heavy's efforts to negotiate his way through. As Heavy starts to finish the job and states that he doesn't care if he has an immortality machine, TFC heavy killed his friend and pal Medic. TFC Heavy then inserts the Australium machine into his body giving him some power, enough to start brutally beating Heavy to the ground.

The comic takes a shift as Sniper and Spy come across some dead Spy-bots. Sniper asks about Spy's suit, and both come across a drastic discovery: Scout is close to death. Not knowing what to do, Spy disguises himself as Tom Jones and gives Scout his dream passing. Spy reveals that he is in fact Scout's father, and he tried to avoid Scout for 27 years, and he regrets that entirely. He is finally overall proud of what he believes Scout had become as he passed. The comic cuts to black and comes back to Scout, who is now in heaven. God (or at least Scout's interpretation of him) says that he didn't create Scout to live just so he would blow off all the time and not bang a girl, in which Scout comes back to reality and Spy gets Scout off his feet and over to Medic so that he can heal Scout. Begrudgingly.

Zhanna and Soldier prepare for another wave of robots. Soldier asks Zhanna for another jar of honey, but to their surprise, there is none. Instead, Zhanna finds gasoline and both of them consider lighting themselves on fire whilst fight the mass. This is cut short as Miss Pauling's phone starts to ring and Zhanna lifts her from the metal mass. The person on the other end of the line is Engineer, whom states that he is with the Administrator and he asks for what's left of the Australium, to which Miss Pauling says there is none. She requests to talk to the Administrator, but it turns out she is dead (at the moment) and Engineer puts down the phone. Zhanna appoaches Ms Pauling and asks whom she was on the phone to. Ms Pauling tells Zhanna, and also explains how she ruined the Administrator's plans. Zhanna reassures Ms Pauling and tells her a secret... which is to stay away from Soldier (who is head over heels, facing the two). Soldier hears and berates Ms Pauling for not accepting his nakedness. Before Ms Pauling bursts out in anger at Soldier, Sniper (also naked), Spy and Scout appear from nowhere, interupting her.

Trivia

  • Parts of several classes' names are mentioned for the first time.
    • The Spy calls the Scout "Jeremy" while he is disguised as Tom Jones.
    • The "Devil" addresses the Medic as Mr. Ludwig, a common German name.
  • Despite the TFC Sniper claiming that his eyes can see through everything (even his own eyelids), he was unable to see the Sniper hiding outside the room, and did not notice him running away and attempting to find another way into his room after the Spy's ambush failed. (Most likely due to a human's eye not being able to turn a full 360 degrees)
  • On Page 80, the Sniper is seen picking up his default Sniper Rifle from where the TFC Sniper was previously sitting, despite the TFC Sniper using a different Sniper Rifle (a jet-black one with a blue lens).
  • The Demoman is seen drinking from a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on Page 88. However, hydrogen peroxide is only safe to consume if highly diluted with water (3% per bottle) and in small amounts, as it can induce vomiting and foaming in the stomach.
  • On Page 155, the Spy mentions that his jacket is made by a brand named Louis Crabbemarché. Loosely translated, "Crabbemarché" is French for "crab walking", a homage to the Spycrab fad, while "Louis" is a reference to the designer brand Louis Vuitton.
  • There are several heavy hints that support the running gag and theory of the Spy being the Scout's biological father.
    • The Spy performs a genuine act of kindness by disguising as Tom Jones (the Scout's idol of sorts) and allowing the Scout to "pass on peacefully". He even mentions the Scout's real name for the first time, and calls him "son" before Scout loses consciousness.
    • When the Scout jokingly mentions that his father is Tom Jones, his personification of "God" interrupts his own sentence before unconvincingly correcting himself, hiding the true identity of the Scout's father.
  • The scene in which Saxton Hale jumps out of his plane with Jerry clinging onto Maggie and screaming on the way down is similar to Page 7 of Ring of Fired.
  • On Page 256, the Medic is seen cradling a bandana-wearing baby baboon in the background, seemingly hinting at the success of his "Baboon Pregnancy Inducer" and the TFC Heavy's fate.
