Fight and Flight is a Max Payne comic book[1], the third and final part of a three-part comic book series. This issue concludes the bridge for Max between Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne and Max Payne 3. It was released on July 13th, 2012.[2]
Plot[]
This comic book continues where the previous comic book left off, Hoboken Blues.
Max thinks about his earlier days in the NYPD and Alex Balder proposing the undercover operation to him prior to his family's death, as Max talks with Passos at Walton's Bar. While Max drinks with Raul and the Hoboken bar girl, he recalls several past events such as catching the newly-wed couple murderer with Winterson, Balder's death, B.B.'s killing, and Anthony DeMarco's rise to power in New Jersey. In the bar at New Jersey, Tony DeMarco and his thugs return, armed and threaten Max and Raul, which leads to Max's heat-of-the-moment killing of Tony.

Trivia[]
- The comic scenes originally shown as in-game cutscenes contain some continuity errors as to weapons used by certain characters:
- When Max holds Angelo Punchinello at gunpoint, he uses a 1911-type pistol instead of his Beretta.
- When Vladimir Lem is shown killing Alfred Woden in a flashback, Vlad fires a 1911 pistol instead of his Desert Eagle as in Max Payne 2.
- Passos aims a different revolver (S&W-style) when warding off Tony DeMarco and his thugs from the bar instead of a .38 Revolver as in Max Payne 3.
- When DeMarco intimidates Max for his remarks, the former threatens Max with a Beretta 92-style pistol (instead of an M1911) and when he returns to the bar to further threaten Max, he brandishes another Beretta 92-style pistol. However, the first pistol left by DeMarco on the counter turns into a M1911 (as in the original cutscene) when Max picks it up to execute Tony.
- A flashback shows a younger Max as a uniformed police officer shootdodging with a 1911 pistol, which was not a service sidearm for the NYPD.
