Special editions
Deluxe Edition
Assassin's Creed: The Fall Deluxe Edition Cover
The Fall Deluxe Edition was a softcover special edition that brought all three issues of the The Fall, plus an exclusive 10-page epilogue, which would also act as transition towards the next comic saga, Assassin's Creed: The Chain.
This edition had a total of 128 pages, including the exclusive epilogue and a making-of section.[5]
It is also included in the Assassin's Creed Red winter bundle (containing the deluxe edition and a hoodie featuring the Russian Assassin insignia) in Ubiworkshop.
Subject 4
Assassin's Creed: Subject Four is a compilation from UbiWorkshop, which comprises both the complete issues of The Fall, as well as its sequel, The Chain.[6]
Behind the scenes
The series was initially planned as an expansion of the travels of the Assassin Ezio Auditore, but it was moved to an entirely new setting and character to provide greater artistic freedom to the writers. Despite this, the comic still utilized the long-standing feud between the Assassins and Templars for the basis of its story.[7]
Inspiration for The Fall came from the book The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon. The main character, Captain Bennett Marco, was brainwashed by the Communist Party to act as their sleeper agent, acting on their orders whenever he saw the Queen of Diamonds playing card. In The Fall, Abstergo programmed Daniel Cross to kill the Mentor when the moment of opportunity presented itself.[8]
