Uncharted Comic Series #6

 By Mark Rodriguez (Originally written by Paige)

Rose has obtained her ultimate goal but now Nathan and Chloe are surrounded by lava, how are they going to get out?

Before Nate, Chloe and Sully arrived at the North Pole, Chloe asks about if he regrets anything, like not leading a "normal" life. He laughs asking what she means by normal and she says a regular job. He explains treasure hunting is his normal job and points out that instead of being stuck in front of a desk, he's heading to the North Pole.

Now he's probably regretting the idea. Stuck underground and being "chased" by lava. And what makes it worse is the fact that the entrance was destroyed by Chloe to stop the Smokey Gods. And speaking of the creatures, they appear, making their escape harder.  They're surrounded, but Nate takes one out and the two run toward a cave. All the Smokey Gods get surrounded by the lava, killing them. Chloe and Nate make it to the cave and they continue running past the plane bridge towards Byrd's camp. The two take a break, wondering if Sully fixed the plane. Nate asks if she is ok, and she jokes that there are no regrets. Out of no where, a Smokey God appears and attempts to attack Chloe, but Nate stops him.

Anyway, Nate jokes "How did you survive before me." The floor beneath Nate collapses and he's trapped in a pool of lava. Chloe has no way to save him, but she comes up with a plan and leaves. Nate jumps from rock to rock and lands on a plane. Nate asks himself again why he gets himself in these kinds of predicaments. As the time goes by, the space that Nate has on the plane shrinks, he ends up on the tail of the plane. He believes these are the last moments...and a loud noise appears. Nate wonders if it's...

Sully's plane appears, Chloe leaving out the door waiting to grab Nate. She rescues him and pulls him into the plane. The group flies away from the lava pit, but there is no place to land and no way to get out.  Then suddenly sunlight! The plane heads toward this glimmer of hope. The group emerges from a volcano! The plane is going down.

Nate wakes up on a beach, while Chloe and Sully helps him up. Nate asks where they are, and Sully jokes that he's hoping it's some place that has a bar. The group spends the night drinking, while some dialog box has Chloe talking with her contact, telling the person to meet at the rendezvous point. But before she goes, she "spends the night" with Nate before she leaves him. No regrets.

Nate meets up with Sully at a peer. Sully asks where Chloe is, even though Nate explains she left, Sully knows that wasn't the last time they would see her. The two get on the boat that Sully bought and they leave the island.

Paige's Opinion-

Here is my full opinion for the comic series. The comic has all the adventures and predicaments Nate always faces in the games. When I read the comics I would hear the character's voices. The comic has all the action you'd expect Nathan to come across his treasure hunting adventure.

The art was really good. Now they should base a game on this comic! :) I would love to play it! Or they should make make more comics! But anyway, when I first saw this comic, I was too late on buying the series, so I had to wait till the trade paper back came out to be able to read the series.

One thing I wonder is, who is the other girl on the cover? I always thought it was Elena Fisher, but she was not in the actual comic. I don't think it's Rose either.

I would recommend this comic series to the fan of the actual game series.

Mark's thoughts-  

Good story and good art. This is pretty much set between the first two Uncharted games, so it kinda serves to explain how they met Chloe before Uncharted 2. I think it would have been cool to have another mini-series that would take place between Uncharted 2 and 3, an maybe another one between 3 and 4. 

As for Paige's question, I think that is Elena Fisher on the cover, it's just that the artist probably didn't get the memo that she wasn't in this story. Whoops!
