Digital comics, perfect! Thank you so much, I don't have a comic store near me.

Just checked out the preview pages, and already I've got a whole bunch of concerns about continuity - and this is from someone who has had absolutely no worries about any Mass Effect product at all.

Firstly, the weapons. All those humans are using the Carnifex model gun. I know ME1 used the same model to represent a bunch of other guns, but this is a few weeks after first contact... and they're using the same weapon designs they use after thirty years of learning from the other cultures? This is a minor one, I can put up with it as being a visual link to the universe so we recognise what it is, but it still bugs me a little.

Then there's the Mako, which is a whole lot worse. We KNOW that the Mako was new around the time of ME1. That they've put it in the comic despite there already being designs for older tanks (the Grizzly) suggests a lot of laziness to me.

Then worst of all is the humans talking with the turian, and knowing the name of his species(!) This is a few weeks after FC. How the hell have they managed to work out the entire turian language AND make translators so widespread that they're in the hands of civilians in such a short space of time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about getting some insight into TIM, the artwork looks passable, and with this digital format announced, I may well go as far as to buy it (I haven't bought a comic in a decade - the last ones I read were the first few KotOR ones, and they were borrowed). But given that Mass Effect's consistency and realism is one of the main attractions to the series for me, the lack of continuity already shown in a mere four preview pages has me a little worried about how much care has gone in to the writing of this.

Sorry for the wall of text, but hopefully someone can assuage my doubts.

This is me drawing attention to these words of wisdom. (Read: this)

And just to expand on your point about how turians can somehow speak to humans this early after first contact, remember that there is no singular turian language. There is a panoply of turian languages, plural. So humanity would have had to translate all of them in the month or so Shanxi was occupied.

This make me even more concerned about ME3. With Mac Walters confirmed as the lead writer in this blog, I don't hold out much hope that ME3 will have much consistency and continuity. Alas, my favourity sci-fi franchise appears to have fallen even further.

WIll you stop blaming Mac for everything, if you had a problem with ME2 blame both Mac and Drew. Both of them of them came up with the story for all three games before ME1.
Also,
1. How do you know it was humans who translated? How do you know it was not the turians?
2. If you have a problem with how quickly it took for turians or humans to understand each other, then why are are you not complaining about how quickly it took the council to make a truce so quickly? This flaw was in ME1 as well.
3. Also to the other guy, why are you not complaining about how the guns that the aliens developed are almost identical to the one humans have been using. You would think that aliens would have different types of weapons that we as human would have.
4. As for the Mako, you don't exactly know when it was first used or even made. The game only said that the standard was the grizzly for 30 years, it say the mako was not used or existed.

Yes, I have concerns for a lot of the same reasons. They just seem to be taking liberties with the story now, not really trying to keep up or connect the dots. It is slightly upsetting, lol.

I agree, Drew is no saint when it comes to continuity.
See Retribution, or if you still don't see what I mean, the thread I wrote about it.

Uh oh. You mean sad as in "what a tragic story" or sad as in "what utter garbage":unsure:?

As in, where is her fringe?

Maybe she's just bald as a fashion statement? Plus, the pointy parts are probably her fringe.

[Eradyn]

Fringes and plates are obviously not necessary for protecting against Palaven's heightened radiation. The codex must be incorrect. Also, Garrus and bachelor party turian must be mistaken as well. It's either that or DH is just made of fail.

You be the judge.

[Someone With Mass]

Considering that they can't even draw Tali's ME1 suit correctly, or any human and/or alien correctly for that matter, I'll go ahead and say that DH is a big fail.

[PARAGON87]

I'm disappointed in the supposed female turian design.

[Whereto]

Wow im with paragon87, those female Turian designs are disappointing. They look like a ugly male Turian's, but as someone said, they can't draw tali's suit well so maybe there is still hope. I liked the design that popped up awhile ago on the forums of the female Turian sketch. Now that was a good one

ANOTHER retcon? Dear god.

[Snowblade]

And I have thought that they will sell digital copy of it... now I dont have any chance to get my hands "on it".

[Matt VT Schlo]

Picked up issue one today at the local comic store, and on par with the last series.....this is most set up and has an interesting start....some of the dialogue seems off, but mostly just things like 'Die, Skull Face' or the like....

[Remus Artega]

stop releasing these stupic comics...they are constantly ruining the franchise and Bioware's image...

wow... way to disappoint with a female turian... not only did it contradict turian codex entry as some have stated, it also looks really really bad... who had the brilliant idea of making the females look exactly like the males, with the exception of certain features? I mean, they could have at least made the facial features more round instead of sharp. Same with the body figure... I'm sure they can make it more feminine.

I seriously don't understand this design decision... can someone help me in understanding the design? No way everyone at BW would agree with this design decision.

I feel BW should start asking random members on these forums for a consensus, and if the members agree, they could look at potential future designs. That would be far more beneficial, because it seems the fans know more about Mass Effect than BioWare themselves... >:[
