Origins Loading Screen Theory

[Mattzs]

After watching the pre-release gameplay footage, I noticed that Origins' loading screen is not a comic book page. I was confused at first but, I think I know why Treyarch made this choice.

Origins' loading screen isn't a comic book page... because it is the cover for the comic book!

We have been told Origins is the beginning of Zombies. Well it literarily is.

Although it wouldn't explain MOTD's placement in the comic book as it should be next. But yet, MOTD takes place outside of time and space. So I can assume its placement in the comic book is not as crucial as Origins.

Wow. This is mindblowing. Seriously, awesome thought. I really hope this is the case; it'd be the perfect way to end everything.

Massive brains to you, sir.

So...what does this mean? :lol:

I don't think the loading screen for mob of the dead is part of the comic, it was Al's journal.

It would make sense, but comic book covers normally contain more than just what's on the first page.

Huh... It does look like that. Thanks for pointing that out!

[PINNAZ]

Could very well be. Good observation.

[RdJokr]

Funny. The loading screen is drawn by Alex Ross, a well known comic artist... Coincidence? Or intentional?

I agree. Now, if someone could use high-res captures of every loading screen since WaW and turn them into a virtual or physical comic book...

That would be awesome, but I thought the comic wasn't finished yet something about staples half way?

The Nuketown loading screen has staples in it, which would imply that it's exactly halfway through the comic.

Nuketown - middle

...

7 more pages to balance out the comic. More if there are maps between the maps in the first half of the comic.

TranZit, MotD are outside of the comic.

It makes sense that they got a COMIC BOOK artist to draw it.

Damn, everything falls into place now.

Well, not really.
