The Assassin's Creed Comic is a webcomic created by Penny Arcade, which focuses on video games and video gaming culture. The comic is drawn in a very cartoony style, focusing on a mission of Altaïr in Acre. While the comic is drawn from Altaïr's point of view, there is also dialogue from Al Mualim, who doesn't appear in the comic. [1]
Plot
- "He may have started with the finger, boy - but he'll never stop taking from you."
- ―The Target
Altaïr was ordered by Al Mualim to hunt down and assassinate a man in Acre. Once he arrived, he blended into the crowd, following a strongly-built man with a green cloak. Altaïr swung from ledge to ledge and onto the rooftops in an effort to keep a closer eye on his target. However, his target soon noticed Altaïr's presence. The man kept his guard up, and proceeded to buy oranges, while Altaïr continued to wait on a rooftop for the right time to attack his target. Suddenly, the man startled Altaïr by appearing behind him on the rooftop. He then tried to insult Altaïr by referring to him as "one of Al Mualim's pups." They engage in battle, but fast as Altaïr may be, the man held his ground and managed to dodge any attack Altaïr made with his multiple weapons.
While fighting, he does warn Altaïr about Al Mualim's intentions, claiming he will slowly take away Altaïr's freedom and eventually kill him. Altaïr then found himself in the midst of a headlock, but soon caught an opening in the man's position, and elbowed his face. Altaïr backed away while the man recovered, and
 
proceeded to perform an air assassination with his Hidden Blade. However, before he could do so, the man punched Altaïr back
onto the ground, countering his move. The man tackled Altaïr and they were both soon on the ground. The man told Altaïr that Al Mualim does not care for his Assassins, and then torments Altaïr by telling him that his master, Al Mualim can always father more, for the man thought that he could see Al Mualim's face in Altaïr's. Altaïr, angered and confused, made his final strike by headbutting the man and impaling his stomach with the Hidden Blade. 
The story ends as Altaïr slides his hand over the dead man's face, closing his eyes. Al Mualim later asked if Altaïr's target had said something unusual, but Altaïr responded that he had said "nothing of consequence."
