Oh, Sandra, please be able to pull this off. I feel you will turn a lot of heads at this presentation, so use it for good and not evil. Or stupid.

If Sandra can't turn this around I'm afraid she'll just go get drunk after the presentation is over because they ruined her favorite video game character.

Well, Sandra is definitely sober just now; she quickly realised that she'd gone too far, and gagged herself by the end of the strip. She only shot her mouth off just enough to go viral on Vimeo.

But yes, quelle surprise, they have gone Darker And Edgier. "Gritty Past"? There wouldn't be a little bit of a joke about Lara Croft here, would there?

I think this is a mixture of Lara Croft and Samus.

So we're heading into reboot territory now. That's always a minefield for game developers. Of course, that also makes it great material for the comic! :D

I love the detail on the people in the crowd, and Eisu's drawing style has grown on me a lot. Really beginning to like this comic which I didn't think I would at first.

Oh yay. "Gritty".

I can't figure out if this idea will go down well or badly with fans, or it they'll be too distracted by Sandra's reaction to pay much attention either way.

<editor mode>That "it's" in the last panel should be "its". Remember, "It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its."</editor mode>

Apart from that, loving this entire storyline. Looking forward to see where it heads. =)

Hey, this might work out after all!

Well, AFTER they fire her, then read the reviews, then hire her back again... ;)
