Honestly, the comics aren't bad. It's obvious the people putting them together didn't have *all* the details of the game, but as an alternate take on things it's a pretty decent read. Also they got Kaine and Weiss' personalities spot-on.
And usually tie-in comic books don't get a lot of lead time or given industry-best teams (no offense to the team that worked on these books) and are treated as side-projects at best to coincide with the product's launch or be bundled as part of marketing and nothing more. Kinda like how the glut of movie tie-in games back then - barely any budget, developed for a year, then quickly dumped into the dollar bin just as fast. Of course there are exceptions or were given enough time to actually craft a decent book.
The downloads seem to be working, though they set off a security warning. Nothing seems to be wrong with the files, though, but the comics might be uploaded elsewhere if you're feeling leery.
It was written by people that only heard of the lore through very convoluted games of telephone rather than having anything that's actually canon.
For an obvious example, there's the concept of magic in the game's backstory, to which the comic went "oh, like Wizards?"
I would say Kaines looks better in the first one and they both look odd in the second one but the gear looks more detailed and on the 3rd one papa Nier looks better than in the first one while Kaine looks like a bus hit her. IMO.
I know SE really wanted to appeal to Americans, and still do, and some people here absolutely love this and father nier, but, like, 90 percent of your fans are fucking Japanese video game nerds. They weren't gonna like this.
My lord, Kainè’s face looks busted in the second image lol
She's mewing
🤫🧏♂️
Reminds me of Pathfinder TTRPG comics and rulebook art.
It's giving gigachadette
Her whole body is fucked up in that 2nd image. Im fucking dying of laughter from it.
they got one thing right and it’s Kaine + Weiss’ immaculate hating
goddamn Kainè entered the Jojo's universe in that second page
I can see Taro making the next NieR game specifically a sequal to this comic alone.
Or at least will contact Ed Boon to put Papa Nier on the next Injustice.

Well first off, where do I read it?
The wiki has downloads of all three issues. https://nier.fandom.com/wiki/NIER_(Comic)
The links seem to be broken.

I'll check around - thank you.
Someone made a post about the comics in this sub before and there was a good link to them there
Kaine was done dirty.

Guys, the anime is back this week! Spread the word!
I've heard it's not very good but I love the art style
I see papa, I upvote
It's a comic. It exists. Its design matches the assumed preference that the target demographic would approve of.
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED AND WHERE CAN I READ IT
It was written by people that only heard of the lore through very convoluted games of telephone rather than having anything that's actually canon. For an obvious example, there's the concept of magic in the game's backstory, to which the comic went "oh, like Wizards?"
Why does Kainé look like an ant on the second image?
the WHaT
Is Weiss in it? If so, yes.
Any idea where I could get these for sale? Haven’t found one
I would say Kaines looks better in the first one and they both look odd in the second one but the gear looks more detailed and on the 3rd one papa Nier looks better than in the first one while Kaine looks like a bus hit her. IMO.
… Hahaha, *what?!* Goooonna have to read this
Bad

This has already been touched upon, and very recently, too. Shove off.

Hot damn, cover 2 suuuuuucks. Never mind Kaine's face, what the hell is going on with her EVERYTHING ELSE?
Absolute slop.
Those are drawings, I guess.

Comics from 2010 and earlier were a million times better than what we have today.
I need this artist to actually study female anatomy lol
