Loose Canon is a comic released on July 2, 2010, 3 days before the start of the Engineer Update. The comic tells the story of how the intitial wars between the REDs and BLUs first started, and how it has lasted as long as it has.

Synopsis

The comic opens in the present day with the Engineer waiting for a meeting with Blutarch Mann. He is then greeted by an elderly woman who tells him that Blutarch will now see him. As they walk to his office, she enquires as to if the Engineer knows of his grandfathers relationship with the Mann family, however the Engineer is unaware of any. The woman explains that many years ago, his grandfather solved a sensitive issue for Blutarch, but implies that his solution is starting to fail. She closes by saying that Blutarch will explain it all himself, and also for the Engineer to not shake his hand.

The comic then cuts to 1850 to the reading of Zepheniah Mann's will. The Administrators grandmother Helen recieves the rest and residue of his estate; Saxton Hale's grandfather Barnabas recieves complete control of Mann Co. and something else (the will reader is interupted by Barnabas fighting a cougar); and finally Blutarch and Redmond recieve "partnership" in the form an equal share of whatever land he has left. This is due to Blutarch and Redmond spending their entire lives bickering over nothing, and so left something of consequence over which to fued.

The comic the jumps 40 years to 1890, where Radigan is in a meeting with a now-aged Blutarch. Blutarch explains that he and his brother both immediately hired a team of mercenaries in order to take control of each others land, and because of this have been in a stalemate for 40 years. Since he could no longer take his brothers land by force, he decided to simply outlast him. However, Redmond won't die. Blutarch then states that he wants Radigan to build him a machine to prolong his death and outlast his brother. Radigan silently thinks for a moment before agreeing.
