A Virmire Survivor DLC would make up for it somewhat. But only if it's well written. In other words, don't let the guy who wrote this terrible comic anywhere near it.

It's...serviceable.  At times, it's rather less so. 

At times it is "acceptable" other times, just plain sloppy.  I know a lot of people who do comics for a living.  This thing was rushed.

That guy would be Mac Walters, who has been the lead writer for Mass Effect since ME2. Enjoy.

Wow this comic is incredibly bad. This is a terrible way to introduce PS3 owners to the series. Why couldn't they just have a series of flashback ME1 in-game sequences for those key decisions instead? I mean sure Microsoft holds the rights to ME1, but surely they can have some ME1 material in it. I'm glad Bioware is doing more to give everyone the chance to play the series, but without ME1 for the PS3 it feels like a very poor gesture.

Anyways I really gotta say this comic is bad. The artwork doesn't look anything like characters for starters, though that's a minor complaint. But why is there like no mention of the Geth? There's also no mention of the Thorian...
Also how the hell is Kaidan a kid? He's 3 years older then Shepard. The comic doesn't even bother to give half-decent summaries of the situations and the dialogue is just awful.

Seriously this is a joke. I had entertained the idea of getting ME2 for the PS3, but after seeing this no way. I think the gameplay is okay from what I tried of the Demo though a locked framerate would have been nice like on the 360. I dunno it's hard for me to recommend this game to friends with a PS3 cause ME2 just isn't the same experience without ME1 IMO.

As I noted earlier, they already do: the entire comic soundtrack, Crash site flashbacks, your stereo on the Normandy has ME1 music, many of the codex images and most of the text are the same as in ME1, and the PS3 demo starts with the "Story So Far" vid, the majority of which is ME1 clips.  There are a couple other ME1 bits here and there, mostly the photos in various places.

Just listened to the FemShep version. Sure enough, I thought it was better than the other one.

I think it isn't fair to describe it as "art".

Brace yourself for the ban hammer, Brodyaha. Nobody judges Pacifien!

The femshep version is up:







They still made it so your character had the hots for Liara, basically making shep a lesbian from the get go. And i seriously did not enjoy the femshep voice over, but i'm a bit bias because i can't stand femsheps voice anyway.

I didn't say it was good.  

Besides, the art is the least of my worries about that comic.

Oddly enough, the art has always been my issue with the comics, going back to Redemption. The art needs to convey just as much as the words, if not more in some cases.

For instance, if Kaidan's biotics are an important attribute to the character, why not show him using it in the art itself? And as didymos pointed out awhile back, Shepard is describing a massive ship that looks little more than a tick in the artwork. Why introduce Garrus with just a generic sniper rifle shot? Shepard didn't mention the whole incident with Dr. Michel, but the artwork could have shown us the confrontation. When they introduced Tali, they could have shown the alleyway with a bunch of Saren's dead assassins. Shepard again never tells you how they came across Tali, but the artwork gives you a clue at least.

I despise how comic books are treated as nothing more than basic pretty pictures when they can be a legitimate storytelling device in and of itself. Good artwork should have told us part of Shepard's story even without narration backing it up. As it is, most of the artwork, without the narration, doesn't make much sense. BAD ART. BAD!

And had it been good art, it might have addressed some people's concerns about the content.

My point exactly. The writing has been terrible for the Virmire Survivor since and including ME2.

Do you go out of your way to ****** off Ash and Kaidan fans or has it just become second nature after doing it for so long ?

Indeed.  Inquiring minds want to know!

Not that that's a difficult achievement.  For myself, I think they're both terrible.  Asking me to pick my favorite would be like asking me which pile of crap I think smells better.

It's a Red Panda (but it isn't actually a close relative your standard Panda).

This analogy implies that you think the comic is fundamentally flawed. I don't think so; it just could have been done better is all.

It was alright, but I would have had some more back story added (an extra minute or two explaining the Alliance, finding the ruins on Mars, First Contact...). Kinda sucks that it assumes that Saren wasn't redeemed and that Liara magically appears out of nowhere,.
