To celebrate the 100th page of Crossfire, I wanted to share the original inspiration of this comic. Back when I was in high school, I worked on a bunch of various comics, card games, and video games as a hobby in my free time. One of those comics I did in high school was “Outpost Crossfire”, which was a comedic comic that was essentially a cross between Red Vs Blue and Garfield.
Unlike the modern Crossfire who are traveling mercenaries, this Crossfire was a band of marines stationed at some backwater outpost. Four of the original cast made it to the new TG-themed comic, with Arianne serving as the Rookie in the series. While these old comics are in no way canon, they are a fun read to glimpse into the past 15 years ago and see where the foundations of Crossfire came from.
You can check out all 28 pages of the original Crossfire below!

Comic 2 is hands down my favorite and Comic 4 has such high school edgelord vibes.
The armor has an interesting look and the logo reminds me of the powerpuff girls logo.
There was more interesting/unique alien designs in this.
We should have Murf cameo at some point.
Been really busy lately starting with a new job but having time today to catch up on the past few days of SF content, I gotta say this was a very welcome surprise. Loved getting to see the prototypes of Arianne, Drake and Commander Jackson.
Damn, this is actually pretty neat. I always find it interesting to see early concepts of media that would eventually develop into what we get with the final product.
I couldn’t find all of them. Murf’s page on the first comic was missing, and so was the comic that introduced Arianne as the new Rookie.
