BloodRayne: Comics & Video Game Continuity

[LegendariumOfLies]

I am creating this thread to finally figure out which Bloodrayne Comics are canon to the Video Game Continuity.

• BloodRayne: Prime Cuts and BloodRayne: Revenge of The Butcheress is canon through this explicit statement.
• BloodRayne: Skies Afire and BloodRayne: Lycan Rex are canon through this statement from Prime Cuts . Skies Afire is about the Hindenburg while Lycan Rex is about the Werewolf King.
• BloodRayne: Twin Blades is canon through this statement from Revenge of The Butcheress (Declan Finney is the main character in Twin Blades).

All other comics should be considered non-canon as there is no proof they are part of Game Continuity.

BloodRayne: Seeds Of Sin is canon through the involvement of Jesse Sosa of Terminal Reality who was the Senior Character Artist of BloodRayne 2.

This is the only one that sticks out as being insanely weak evidence. Straight up, we don't care if the same artist interfaced with one branch of the franchise as well as the other. I don't think the inclusion of any one staff member across iterations of a franchise matters at all- the sole exception is the lead creator (director, whatever), if they say "this is canon to this other thing". That's it.

BloodRayne: Twin Blades is canon through this statement from Revenge of The Butcheress (Declan Finney is the main character in Twin Blades).

...I just wanted to also take an aside that this is only fine assuming Declan Finney was never mentioned outside of Twin Blades. Like if he's just a recurring character, but also had Twin Blades as his main character arc, then this statement alone wouldn't make Twin Blades canon, there would need to be some reference to Twin Blades content.

Fair Enough

He isn't ever mentioned or shown outside of Twin Blades.

Alright. In that case, that one is fine.

Well done on the research. This seems reasonable so far. Honestly, with this many turning out canon so far I wouldn't be surprised if more of the comics were canon.

Bump. Just need on more agree.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

@FinePoint This should be pretty easy.

This looks fine to me.

Have a third.

Also that last panel goes hard.
