comment |
Outlast: The Murkoff Account is a six-issue webcomic set in the background of Outlast and Outlast II, following the recollections of the Pauls, a couple of Murkoff Corporation insurance officers.The first two issues provide an origin for Chris Walker and Dr. Trager from Outlast, where the Pauls confront and apprehend them for messing with Murkoff. The third issue explains the whereabouts of our former protagonists, Miles Upshur and Waylon Park, as the Pauls attempt to trail them but to no avail, as Miles is a transient superhuman and Waylon and his family long took off to hide from Murkoff's wrath. They also get in a scuffle with the remains of Billy Hope, with traces of the Walrider still keeping him a vengeful Physical God. The forth issue reveals that, in their investigation, they caught the attention of Simon Peacock, a former Murkoff agent and the one who helped Waylon in the leak from Whistleblower. The fifth issue sets up Outlast II, and the final issue, an epilogue, clears up its ending. |

The Swarm: After the Pauls kill Billy Hope, the Walrider, which is already a swarm of nanomachines, possesses a black ant colony, doubling this trope. |

| | Outlast: The Murkoff Account (Webcomic) / int_20f689e9 |
comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In Outlast, we learn that Billy's mother had a lawsuit against Murkoff and the asylum, presumably because they've left her unable to see or retrieve her son, and Murkoff kills her with a guided heart attack in order to keep using Billy as a test subject (though the timelines of the documents contradict themselves). The comics retcon this and state that Billy was never mentally ill, his mother turned him over for a large sum of money, and she is alive after Murkoff bought her silence. |

Pink Is Erotic: In the second comic, Pauline Glick and Paul Marion are investigating a HR Complaint and meet Richard "Rick" Trager. They immediately suspect him and he repeatedly hits on Pauline and later tries to rape her by spiking her drink. The complaint to HR was that Rick raped his assistant, Michelle, got her pregnant and threatened to fire her if she didn't get an abortion. In the comic, Rick wears a pink dress shirt with his collar popped and his sleeves rolled up just below his elbow. |
