Far Cry: Esperanza's Tears

This comic series dives into the life of Juan Cortez, a guerrilla warrior caught in a power struggle in South America, leading to unexpected challenges.

In Far Cry: Esperanza's Tears, readers are introduced to Juan Cortez, a seasoned guerrilla warrior who navigates the treacherous waters of conflict zones for profit. His journey takes him to Santa Costa, a fictional South American country that bears a striking resemblance to his homeland, Yara. Here, the discovery of Tantalum, a valuable mineral, has ignited a power struggle among three factions: a military junta, a bourgeois party, and a revolutionary group fighting for labor and indigenous rights.

As tensions rise, Juan finds himself caught in the crossfire of this political turmoil. The revolutionary group, led by Max Purillo, recruits him to carry out a high-stakes assassination: General Di Stefano, the leader of the military junta. With the promise of wealth and the opportunity to make a significant impact, Juan sees this mission as a chance to change the course of the country’s future. However, as with many plans in war, things quickly spiral out of control, leading to unexpected consequences and moral dilemmas.

This comic series serves as a prequel to the events of the popular video game, Far Cry 6, and offers fans a deeper understanding of Juan Cortez’s character. The collection includes all four issues of the series, along with a cover gallery and bonus material, making it a must-read for enthusiasts of the franchise and newcomers alike.
