Now that's how you do a comic, GON cartoon boy.

So wait, the point of that was? I thought it was all about how they came to meet each other or something? Not just the final mission in L4D1 and a brief talk about what happened after.

Is this comic just telling us what's gonna happen in the next DLC at this military base?

I think it is too early to tell.

The military base might be the first map of the DLC or could be a prequel build up to The Sacrifice story.

My understanding of the DLC is that it will be the 6th campaign for L4D1.

Let's just wait and see when we get to part 4 of the comic.

IIRC they were going to have prequel for the characters in each part - so to avoid spoilers for the other parts they've kept Louis' fairly isolated.

Comic was pretty good - would prefer it had a bit more direction though rather than jumping so much.

But if it's meant to be a prequel, shouldn't it be showing BEFORE each of the survivors met up?

I liked that one more. Made more sense to me and explained more of the first for me.

Details of the DLC from the official blog.

“The Sacrifice” is the prequel to "The Passing," and takes place from the Left 4 Dead Survivors' perspective as they make their way South. You may read the comic to find out the official version of events or this October 5th you may play the game to choose your own ending.

In "The Sacrifice" for Left 4 Dead, gamers receive the complete Sacrifice campaign with maps playable in Campaign, Versus, and Survival. There are 5 new achievements, a new style finale and plenty of places for devastating Hunter pounces.

For Left 4 Dead 2, gamers receive “The Sacrifice” campaign and L4D1’s “No Mercy” both playable with the L4D1 Survivors. This version also offers 5 new achievements. In the L4D2 version of “The Sacrifice” each campaign is playable in Campaign, Versus, Survival, and Scavenge modes, and both "The Sacrifice" and L4D2 version of No Mercy feature the Left 4 Dead 2 Special Infected, items, and weapons. Yes, Zoey with a chainsaw!

"The Sacrifice" will be available as two separate packages on Xbox Live for 560 Microsoft Points each and free to all PC gamers.
