Like the first game in the established franchise, Deliver Us Mars features several comics scattered throughout each story chapter, with one magazine per chapter. Some are in plain sight, while others are hidden in dark corners and are very easy to miss. Collecting them all will not only earn you the Comic Book Collector achievement, but you’ll also be able to follow the storyline of their creators!
Prologue
The first MoonMan comic can be collected immediately after starting a new game. Check the bookshelf in young Katie’s bedroom, to the left of the starting position.
Chapter 1
When you reach the main area of the WSA headquarters after your ride with Ryan, turn left at the model of the globe. Look for a row of picnic tables against the wall; the second comic is on the table closest to the garage with the pickup truck.
Chapter 2
In the second memory (after the first spacewalk), look for a building on the right before entering the main building of the sunken space station. There’s a tattered comic book magazine lying at the bottom.
The first three comics are an easter egg for anyone who played the original game. MoonMan is a collection of comics you received while playing Deliver Us The Moon.
Chapter 3
When you find the gym on the Labos ark, past the huge room with the cryo chambers, enter the side rooms on the left. Inside there are two collectibles, one of which is the first part of the MarsMan comic! Look for the magazine on the far left side of the room.
Chapter 4
When you leave the first building and enter the main part of the quarry, Katie will point out the Stream Tower. Look for a heat shield lying against the rock to the right of it. Climb up the shield and you’ll appear on a ledge where the MarsMan comic is lying in the dust. You’ll run past this brown wall after the tower is launched, on your way back to the elevator (on the left).
Chapter 5
When you find the prison behind Rose’s office, notice that the door to the second cell is open. There’s a comic book on the floor.
Chapter 6
Part of the puzzle in the flooded room requires you to move a crate that is blocking the path of the stream cannon beam. Once the crate slides to the far end of the area, look at the ceiling above its new location; you will see a vent leading into the room above. Climb the crate to reach the room and find the comic.
Chapter 7
While you’re exploring the sleeping quarters, head up to the second floor and check the shelves at the far end. You’ll find the unfinished script for MarsMan Volume 5. Note that it’s not a journal, but a rough draft on a regular piece of paper.
Chapter 8
When you reach the top of the crumbling heat shield panels on the Labos ark wreck, Katie will automatically move forward to look at the damaged saucer. After that, look for a path to the left of the hull. It leads to a comic that somehow survived the ark’s crash landing.
Chapter 9
When you reach the replica of Katie’s parents’ house at the Vita Ark, go upstairs to Katie’s room before talking to Isaac in the kitchen. You’ll find Volume 7 on a box by the bed.
Epilogue
The latest issue of MarsMan is floating in zero gravity in the center of the bridge on the Vita Ark, behind where Sarah is sitting – be sure to pick it up before talking to Isaac!
