Listen TF2′s Mann Versus Machine mode has Romevision, a crossover with the comic series Asterix and Obelix was bound to happen.
The cover is referenced from the first comic book in the Asterix series, Asterix the Gaul - I actually based the version more off the copy that I own, which looks more like the one in this image.
The character page is referenced off of this one. The descriptions themselves are modified descriptions between the ones from the Asterix comics, and the character bios for the mercenaries. A bit of splicing together one could say. In the case of the demoman though, there’s some reference to a certain scene in the tf2 comics. More specifically.
Now I haven’t drawn any of the other mercs yet, but I assure you if I did Scout would basically be pretty much Justforkix from the comic Asterix and the Normans. I guess there’s some humor to be found in the fact that Spy is the only one who’s actually french but I didn’t quite get to him yet.
