Download the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number digital comic series by Dayjob Studio prior to the release of the game and dive into the backstory of several factions on a path to confrontation. The entire five-part series is free to download and comes in a single app that will be updated with new issues leading up to the launch of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number.

When you want more MH comics, you can find the Hotline Miami: Wildlife series elsewhere. It is longer and inked in colour. It is made by the same studio, Dayjob.
Let's begin with having out of the way the main "technical" issue most people seem to have in these reviews:
The comics are available and accessible. You download them by accessing the Digital Comics in your library and looking at the extras tab, like you would for manuals or other extras for other GOG games. It will download a ZIP file with the app executable in your folder of choice. I have not bought DLC content on GOG yet so I don't know if other soundtracks or art books sold separately are using the Install button, but this one does not.
Now for the comics themselves.
I have yet to play Hotline Miami 2, but I think it's meant as an introduction to the different characters you get to play in that game (I recognized the duck twins from the trailers).
Judging by the store description, you're supposed to read them before playing the game, but one of my main gripes is that a couple of them were a bit confusing and felt like it would only make sense once I actually played the game, which pretty much kills the purpose of an introduction. I would rather say these comics are "appetizers" more than proper full fledged introductions (especially considering their length).
While the art style was nice, especially the covers for each issue, it was sometimes hard to make out what was going on in some panels, especially during the killing scenes. I know it's no trivial work and it's free, but I think it would have benefitted better from having colors, both for readibility and because it would have been more in line with the vibrant color palettes both games are known for.
Each issue is also very short (about 10-12 pages each), but I don't strike that as a negative, as it translates well the frantic pace of the first game.
As for the app (executable) you're required to use to read the comics, I'm neutral about it.
Worked perfectly but I don't see how it enhances the reading experience in any way over simple .pdf files.
Overall, a quick free read that is worth checking out.
