They're written by two different people who were hired just to write the comics. I'd say they're non canon because a lot of the dialogue is pretty goofy (even for Metal Gear Solid 2) and out of character. Raiden is too much of a cocky smart ass, Snake drops some cheesy one liners like he did in the Metal Gear Solid novel, Vamp is just a bit too verbose. (I did like how goofy Fatman was though) Also, a lot of new things are added and stuff like Rose turning out to have not been a Patriot Spy (she was in the game), Sergei and Dolph knowing each other, and Solidus has a hostage executed, which didn't actually happen in the game.

I did think the conversations between Liquid and Ocelot were a nice touch, even if he wasn't actually possessed.
