I'm also disappointed it will only be two-issue mini-series. The other was great at four-issues and told a decent story. Yes, some of the books were about Corvo's sister and their back history, but it would be easy enough to expand upon the regular lore of the Dishonored universe with this new series to increase it to a four-issue release.

Again, this comic series illustrates (see what I did there) a common problem: Bethesda seems unwilling or unable to expand the universe past the same four or five characters. I've probably hammered this into the ground now worse than I do about certain D2 missions but character-wise, Martha Cottings was the freshest breath of air this franchise has had in a while (although the Billie Lurk stand-alone looks good too). The Watch Officer's inclusion made the four-issue series for me even better than expected.

I think characters minor, unknowns like Cottings are the direction the comic series should take. Emily was fun and interesting in the first game. In the second she became a kinda of a whiner who was very uninteresting, and things like the ridiculousness with the "Wyman" foible just made an unnecessary mess of things.
