Remember the glory days of Half-Life 2 webcomics? Here's a few hundred of them for you to read.
The site is operated by Mythos, also a prominent Half-Life 2 comics creator."The old website started in 2012 basically as just a way for me to keep posting my Half-Life comics online, but eventually evolved into an archive of other people's Source engine comics," he told PC Gamer."I ended up having the idea one year later of recreating it from scratch as both an archive like before, but with even more content, and a website for Half-Life themed articles.
Metrocop is certainly a much slicker operation than the websites these comics were originally hosted on, with a clean layout, dynamic thumbnails, and a great reading experience."I prioritised simplicity, accessibility and speed, so that every page loads up nearly instantly," Mythos says. The site is also being frequently updated, having recently received accessibility options such as alternative text for every archived comic, and tabbing for keyboard navigation.
It's great to see these comics being preserved in this way, as wonderful artefacts that highlight the intense creativity that spun up around Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod. If by any chance you've got a Half-Life 2 comic lingering on a hard-drive somewhere that you'd like added to the collection you can drop the Metrocop team a line
