BioWare will again be teaming up with the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics to bring you another set of Mass Effect comics. Mass Effect and Dark Horse already worked together to create the acclaimed Mass Effect Redemption series featuring the adventures of Liara T'Soni.

This new series will again be published by Dark Horse and written by Mass Effect 2 Lead Writer Mac Walters. It will also return Omar Francia and John Jackson Miller to the series. This time, the covers for the comics will be drawn by former Y the Last Man artist Massimo Carnivale and, importantly to Mass Effect 2 fans, they will provide some infrmation on one of ME2's shadowy figures, The Illusive Man.

First Contact war timeline around area thingy? groovy noodles

[Jaron Oberyn]

Not more comics... Please don't ruin the game by making it a comic book franchise. That's going to kill Mass Effect. Video Game > Comic Book adaptations aren't that good. I'm sorry. But even with Mac Walters. Stop this madness now!

The article is certainly intriguing and definitely covers questions I'd love to see the answers to. I'll keep an eye out for them. Thanks for the news, Chris!

Polite this one is the epitome of 'You don't have to buy the comics so don't worry about it.'



I haven't seen any of the comics and I've enjoyed ME and ME2 a great deal. Since I don't have the comics there is ZERO chance of their existence bothering me.

[kraidy1117]

Hmm now this will be amazing since Walters wrote TIm in ME2 and knows the character well, can't wait!!

It can't possibly be worse than Redemption, so that's one good thing.

Can't see that happing. Liara is not Walters character, thus he tried to make her HIS character which failed, TIM is Walters character so this will be very good and not feel OOC.

If the comic is going to be about TIM, then I agree that Walters has a chance of actually pulling off the characterisation without screwing it up as badly as Liara.

However, what i'm more worried about is wether or not the artwork is going to be more of the abysimaly deformed childrens scribbles that were passed off as the Redemption comic.

I agree, The covers where amazing, but the artwork inside was kinda bad. Lets hope they do a better job this time.

[Epantiras]

Interesting!



Still, I can't but imagine the Evolution cover with Indiana Jones instead of TIM

[Meglivorn]

This is great news but please, please don't rush it like the Redemption. Make it better, worthy to the games.

The cover for issue 1 of Redemption was amazing, there was more characterisation and feeling in that one picture than there was in the whole of the actual comic.

It was amazing...it all went downhill after that.

Thank God the artwork won't be as  -hideous-  as it was in Redemption. I'm definitely excited about this.

Seriously, Aria looked like a man in Redemption and the facial expressions were a sight to behold.

I found cover 4 to be the best with cover 1 to be second. Taz also was cool on the cover. Whats funny is the only good parts of the comic was some of part 1, the last part of part 3(when liara and the SB talk) and all of part 4) What I also find funny is Walters did a better job with Miri and she was in character but liara was not, anyone find that fishy?

No way! that is definately Han Solo!

[Rapturian]

Redemption is highly underrated, the art may not have been on par with the covers but that's usual in the comic industry. I enjoyed the art, I agree that the way they stood looked very uncomfortable, butbit was generally good. And though I don't really care for TIM as many others, I'm looking forward to this, as the first contact war seems very interesting.

[PARAGON87]

Sweet! Going to be looking forward to this.

If you read the comic you get the feeling that the writer based his characterization of Liara off her presentation in ME2 which was itself a far more egregious act of butchery.

The comic itself was entertaining; but the great character Drew Karpashyn created in Liara wasn't really the protagonist.  It was still an improvement on "Liara" in ME2 though since that missed her character by an even wider mark and it wasn't even entertaining.

In contrast the short comic about Aria was a hell of at lot better since he got her character pretty spot on.

For ME3 I really hope they bring Drew Karpashyn back at least when it comes to writing Liara; because both Redemption and ME2 made it pretty obvious that none of the other writers grasped her character.

Meh.
