==Continuity==
Several of the events in Assassin's Creed: Awakening differ greatly from the one in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, despite it being an adaptation of the game. Duncan Walpole's face was clean-shaven and he died due to exhaustion and the blast from the ship, unlike in the game, where he was shown with a beard and died by Edward's blade. Adéwalé does appear in the comic, but does not look similar to his appearance in the game. Throughout the comic, Edward Kenway receives flashes of Eagle Vision that allow him to see through things and anticipate movements.
Among the major differences in events are: during Edward's incident in Cape Bonavista, he was the captain of his own ship, not a part of the brig Jacobites crew; Julien du Casse fighting Edward in order to prove that he belonged to the Assassin Order; and Mary Read joining the Assassins in the attack on Julien du Casse, Woodes Rogers, Laureano de Torres y Ayala, and Edward Kenway, where she recognized Kenway and demanded he tell her where Duncan Walpole was.
