"Concerned, the half-life and death of Gordon Frohman"
'Concerned' is a Half-Life comic made with Garry's Mod (sandbox mod for Half-Life 2). Gordon Frohman, the protagonist, is a retarded civilian that arrives in City 17 some time before Gordon does. He is stupid, naive, but also ambitious, which paves the path for his adventure.
The story is a mix of the actual HL2 story, and a prequel. Frohman's adventure 'explains' why some things are what they are when Gordon Freeman passes the same locations Frohman went through in his adventure (e.g. why Ravenholm became a zombie-infested nightmare). Frohmans adventure is divided in chapters, which are all goofs of the real chapters played in HL2.
It's a fantasticly written comic, some of the jokes really leave you grasping for air. But you will only be able to enjoy it if you are very familiar with HL2. Many of the jokes involve some knowledge of the HL2 story, but also known bugs and myths. If you're a fan of the HL series, you will love the comic though. Even if you've already seen it (it was written in 2005-2006), it's worth revisiting imo.
