I’m leaning towards a yet-unnamed Jinn cronie being behind the DBs militarization because I kind of want Jinn/COG to become a major antagonist at some point, and it serves that end well if she has a bunch of underlings who are loyal to her vision. It makes her all the more imposing if there exists a sizable faction of humans who are dedicated to fulfilling her agenda beyond just following orders.

I’d like to see things culminate in a eventual 3-way match up between the Swarm, Loyalist COG, and our heroes as part of a conglomerate of Outsiders, Disillusioned Gears, and perhaps Gorasnaya.

Na shes dead. There’s 1 major hint in the prologue of Gears 4 with her last will and testament as a collectible. Also if you’ve read the books you know her character and she never wanted to leave Hoffmans side. She would have been next to him, Cole, and Sam in the prologue.

Where can I buy it and download it on PC? I mean, I could read it online, but I want to support TC and the writers and artists.

#58

I use comiXology for digital comics if you want a physical try the publishers website or amazon

Technically, Bernie’s last will and testament was found in the Anvil Gate part of the prologue… while Bernie was still alive. It was written “just in case.”

Seems she’s dead though. For sure. Makes me sad, but if Hana is the daughter of her and Hoffman, I’ll be kind of impressed.

There’s a reason I bring up the possibility that Hana is Hoffman+Bernie’s daughter. I’ve met a couple kids with really old parents. One of them, who I met at a homeschool seminar, actually learned to walk alongside his elderly dad… because his 70 year old dad suffered a stroke when the boy was born.

I know she was alive during that part I only say it because knowing Bernie from the books I doubt she would write something like that if she didnt think she was gonna die. Also from the book you know she would never leave Hoffmans side as she stated it and her not being present at the ceremony in the beginning o f Gears 4 its another big sign

Well that was short…

#64

I think we have one more to go.

#65

We do, issue 5 is bound to release… well, at some point. I do not know its release date or if there is a preliminary date for it that could still change. (Minor spoiler ahead)I don’t like the way they left us hanging with the Warden cliffhanger, though.

Really let down. It was ok but all they did was confirm the obvious backstory of a character.

#67

So anyone else read the final comic ? Bit of a let down for me overall. I certainly preferred the RAAM one.

Yea ending was a little underwhelming, I thought mac was gonna die, but overall I liked it. Good to know that Killing the hive doesn’t kill all the stragglers, that’s a little overkill for fighting off the swarm in my opinion. I still feel like they deserve their own game, or at least a mini campaign in DLC.

Rise of Raam was definitly better.

I felt Hivebusters was leading up to a big ending but like you said a bit of a let down. I wish TC would bring back Karen Travis or Josh Ortega for extended universe stories. They both did an amazing job.

I bet if they could have it there way they would let Karen travis write all the stories, she was the one that said she was done with gears. I think she had her fill of sci fi, she also had some halo, and star wars books

Some people believe we will after a leak in some video about Gears 5s accessibility features showing the Hivebusters in more modern COG armor rather than their, well, Hivebuster armor. But I didn’t buy into it as a certainty and will only take it for granted if we are provided official written or communicated proof in a news post/dev stream.

It would help explain why the PvP content is lacking in these updates. They could be devoting a lot of resources to other DLC, but I know that’s wishful thinking.

I knew she wrote for other franchises but I didnt know that she was the one that said she was done

She did an amazing job with all the books and Gears 3. This new dude is just ok. Im not a huge fan of his writing style but I will continue to read them because they are Gears books.

The Hivebusters series was ok. It was building to a good ending then just didnt deliver. I dunno if the constant delays for EVERY single issue or the fact that it was only 5 issues.
