Originally created in 2006 with a later remaster and continuation in 2015, Beyond Borders is a Half-Life 2 comic set in an alternate timeline, where familiar faces are now pawns of the Combine and new enemies replace the old ones.
Beyond Borders follows the story of Mark, a citizen whose fate is changed forever by a mysterious suitcase. Now labelled the Rogue Unit, Mark’s sole goal in life is to escape City 17 and find a better life beyond Combine borders, but he gets tangled up with the Resistance as Civil Protection hunts him down, unwilling to have a dissident risk their ongoing transition to a more ruthless and fearful force.
