I've read better, but I don't think the comics are bad. Sure, they have some (annoying) inconsistencies and some odd art at times, but it's not enough for me to call it bad. Plus, it's still Mass Effect. I'd read even bad Mass Effect comics, and I will certainly read parts 3 and 4 of this one.

Why is there so much hate for the comics?
What are these continuity issues that are spawning angry mobs?

So I'm a bad person because I don't think the comic is bad? Oh, I apologize so much for daring to have an opinion that is different from yours.Crimson_D-bag wrote...

I actually went to buy 2 & 3 the other day, flipped through them and put them back on the shelf in disgust.
Let me list the things that turned me off:
- I say to myself "OK female turians don't look like their heads are protected from their planet's radiation but I can live with that, at least we get to see them now" and then there are NO MORE female Turians anywhere.....grrrrrr
-A turian, who comes from a meritocracy, not a patriarchy like earth, refers to the female human character as 'your woman' in the possessive sense... was thinking like an alien just too hard and the writers, and they had to resort to warrior race=women must be property? Try Harder!
- Palaven, which Garrus told us looks like Virmire instead looks like Tuchanka... were sunny beaches just not dramatic enough for a comic?
-Misunderstanding of how evolution works. At first seeing it in the first issue, I just hoped it was the one character being a moron who doesn't understand just how wrong saying 'fully evolved' is. But no, it came up again in the next comics and I fear the writer doesn't actually know how evolution works. If I may quote TvTropes from their evolutionary levels article:
"One popular misconception seems to be how the entirety of evolution is pre-programmed, past and future. Evolutionary states that don't exist yet are just waiting in human DNA to be triggered by rather simple means, as opposed to the culmination of little changes brought on by passing down genes over hundreds of generations. Goes hand in hand with the idea that a certain evolutionary path is "supposed to" happen — as a some sort of biological "predestination". "
"One problem is the misconception that biological evolution is a sort of process of continual "improvement", making everyone bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter all the time, with the inevitable end result that we're all super-powered deities."
"In fact, it is quite possible for a creature to evolve to be smaller, slower, weaker, or stupider when, say, its muscles or brain are consuming unnecessary energy and are more than it really needs to reproduce, and thus individuals born with "handicaps" in these areas are more successful and have more descendants."
If an alien artefact is making things big and strong, they are not evolving down an imaginary pre-set path. They are "mutating", how and why could be any number of reasons, but saying things like 'the pinnacle of evolution' made me want to throw the comic against the wall yelling "NO! Stupid! Bad!"
Was Mass Effect Mutation just not as catchy a title?
-The last and final point, the last page in the third comic. I wont say what it is, and this may just be a personal thing, but it looked so silly, so contrived and stupid I put both books back on the shelf.
All this leaves me kind of worried for ME3 if this is a sign of the themes and thought going into it *puts face in hands and sighs*
