Oh my God. Wow. This was just brilliant. As it begun, I started scratching my head at the things taking place in Duke's stead, thinking "Wait... wasn't this supposed to be some what-if doom-and-gloom scenario??? What's going on? The aliens are good guys?"
But by the time I got to the 6th or 7th page, I realized... this was a masterfully crafted commentary on the nature of Duke Nukem Forever's treatment, development, public perception, and eventual release. It is quite a splendid example of that adage "Artists lie to tell the truth." Instead of merely saying the things regarding Duke that we've all heard tirelessly before... he was played out, outdated, the pursuit of his game so far gone as to be beyond the scope of reason, etc., you reversed the Duke's own flaws in on himself to craft one of the best satirical narrative pieces I've read in some time... and at once point out quite hilariously how the game itself did so to disastrous effect here in real life. Bravo.
