I love the way you draw everyone in gta v so much, thank you for making these comics and all of your art!
I was wondering if weβll see more of your interpretations of Brad and how he interacts with Trevor and Micheal?
Oh man, this one I do want to explore. I dislike Brad soooo much. Like we know that Michael HATED Brad. His personality, his stupidity, his ugly ass gold tooth. When Brad was brought into the crew, Michael and Trevor's relationship was already pretty fragile. Trevor was losing Michael, so he befriended Brad cause he was like a replacement or possibly a way to spite Michael.
T: look this guy is like you when you were chaotic and not a soft loser with family baggage (he was not, Brad is lazy, pos, scumbag, and a dumbass).
The only reason Trevor even associated with this guy because he was like down to his chaotic level and enabled Trevor's shit behavior: drugs, killing, whoring, robbing, you name it. Trevor probably thought this would bring Mike closer, get him jealous and to step in, but NOPE it pushed Michael even further away. Michael saw more risks and danger and needed an OUT ASAP. He was eventually cornered by Dave Norton and he took the deal.
Michael despised having Brad in the crew, but was reluctant because Trevor would be like he's in or I'm out. Brad was never loyal and wanting Trevor to himself would often put Michael at risk. He's too chicken to kill Michael directly so he would hope that something would take Michael out of the picture. Brad's collateral damages is probably what put them in FIB radar to high alert.
The combo of Brad and Trevor was probably so insufferable to both Michael and Lester. In one of Mike's and Trev's argument he would tell Trevor. "He's suppose to be your responsibility! If he fucks up again, either you take care of him or I will!" (either he cuts both of them out, or he personally kills Brad) When Davey accidently killed Brad, Michael felt so relieved that it was him and not Trevor.
His relationship with Trevor was soooo bad. Trevor enjoyed his company because he's an enabler, but hated him as well. He was never gonna be a replacement for Michael. There was an expiration date with them and it would end with Trevor killing him eventually which he admitted in the game. But after the Ludendorff, his perspective of him started changing thanks to Dave and his FIB interns. He had a warped perspective that Brad was improving and getting sophisticated lol. Beside his sense of loyalty, this "improved" version of Brad was tolerable to keep.
