So, what's the issue with this new comic series?

Mainly that it's a rehash of an old plot, now with Cerberus.


What old plot?:huh:

Depends on the issue in this one it's Wrex going after Fist. Next one will be Ash on Eden prime. Overall approach is that Brooks/Cerebrus was involved with each of these events somehow.

The Homeworlds and Foundation comics are going to be interspersed throughout the chronology


As far as I know:
- Homeworlds with Tali is set right before Mass Effect
- Homeworlds with Liara is set right before Mass Effect 3
- I'm not sure about issues with James and Garrus (many flashbacks, especially in Garrus' issue)
- Foundation 1 - I'd set it before Revelation
- Foundation 2 (Wrex) - right before Mass Effect, maybe the same time as Homeworlds with Tali
- Foundation 3 will be about Ashley on Eden Prime, so before Mass Effect
- Foundation 4 will be about Kaidan's biotic camp - after Revelation
- Foundation 5 will be about Miranda and Jacob - I'm not sure what it will be about, maybe events of Galaxy?

Ah, so the issue is that Cerberus is being transformed into an omniscient organization then? Yes, I'd certainly have a problem with that. I thought it was they were using cameos and old plots to introduce new characters.

Even that would be better then...this. I swear Macs goal is to destroy and contradict everything from the first game and have Cerberus be everywhere.

At this point, Cerberus is space Illuminati.

Cerberus was stated to be a rogue black ops group that no one but the Alliance knows about in the game, now apprently they where invovled with Fist and Wrex. What? Best thing? Wrex has no clue what Cerberus is in the game. GOOD GOING MAC

Why doesn't Wrex recognize Brooks in the Citadel DLC?
I read that they exchanged pleasantries during an elevator ride.
I know he hasn't really got any reason to remember her as it was only an elevator ride that happened about 3 years ago, but you'd think he'd have some kind of realisation during the DLC, at-least when she reveals her ulterior motives and locks them in a tube.

I haven't read the comic, is it that bad?

I feel like a huge chunk of the comments on this thread are knee-jerk reactions.

I have read it.

Its not AS bad as some people are making it out to be.  The comic itself is fine.

I'm more vexed by the inclusion of Cerberus in a completely unnecessary manner, and the re-hashing of already covered ground.


From what I read in the thread, the main issue IS the inclusion of Cerberus

plus the whole Wrex and C-sec thing

From what you've read isn't the same as reading the comic for yourself.
If you don't want to read it, that's obviously fine, it's your choice. But do you not think that it's completely unfair to criticize a story that you haven't experienced yourself?

Implying that the story itself is being critcized, when it is not

I read the synposis of the comic (which is the second best thing to do), the story isn't bad but the issue that brought the comic down was the inclusion on Cerberus

Plus the whole thing with Wrex and C-sec was just stupid

Which is exactly what most of the people in this thread was talking about, not the story of Wrex but Mac Walters turning Cerberus into the "Space Illuminati"

Which specific criticism do you find unfair?
I mean forgive me if I sound over critical but the only praise I've heard about it was the Wrex is in it, there's a cameo of fist and that Brooks and Leng get a few character moments. Personally only one of those strikes me as a plus. Is there some context I'm missing that makes Leng and Brooks appealing characters? Cause honesly I'm only speaking from presonal preference and what I find lacking in the material not as some percieved authority on whether this comic is good or not.

Why would Wrex know about Cerberus? He wanted to get the job done, and that's it. He's not interested in other parties
And, for Fist:
Why is it so hard to believe that at least one non-Alliance knew of Cerberus at that time?

Alright, maybe not a great choice of words on my part. Although, you just reiterated my point. Although you've only read the synopsis, not the comic itself, you're saying that the inclusion of something brought the comic down and that something in it was stupid. Sometimes it's not about what's told, but how it's told.
All I'm trying to say is that I think it's unfair to criticize something when you haven't experienced it yourself. Yeah, you can form an idea of what you expect you'll think of the comic, but surely you can't say certain things about it with certainty when you haven't read it yourself?

It does not matter how it's told. Cerberus being there causes a bigass problem, or did you not play ME?

Wrex has never heard of Cerberus, now they are involved in this event. This comic not only contradicts the game, it makes Wrex look like a goddam moron.

If the main points of the comic don't appeal to you and you decide not to buy, then that's of course absolutely fine. It's completely your choice. My problem is when people actively criticize something that they haven't experienced themselves, and just heard about from others. And I'm not accusing you of doing that by any means.
It may just be me, but 'I don't like the look of that', means something completely different than 'I don't like that'.

It's like they develop the characters in a such a way that they can be twisted into looking moronic... so easily, ha.

Sorry, but I'd have to guess that you haven't read the comic either.
Wrex encountered one Cerberus operative (Brooks/Rasa) and had no reason to believe she was part of Cerberus, or any specific group at all. When he met her, she was dressed in working overalls, and nothing was said or hinted that would reveal who she worked for.
Why would Wrex know she worked for Cerberus?

And for the record: Yes, I played ME.

So Wrex is now an idiot and Cerberus is not a small black ops group as shown, told and supported in ME. You wonder why people are complaining? Bayformers is better written then this joke of a series now.

Wrex is now an 'idiot' because he didn't realize a woman in working overalls was a Cerberus operative?! Care to explain how?
And, Cerberus is not a small black ops group because they had two operatives working on the Citadel and tried to get some info on the Shadow Broker?

Even if I where to accept that ,how about the fact that he does not remember or even notice it's her in Citadel? What's your defense for that?

It not really that Wrex forgot her that bothers me, it is the fact that they even met in the first place.  Did we really need Cerberus to be attached from the very start of ME1? Why couldn't the story about Wrex not have Wrex as the main character?

ME? As in ME1? I thought Drew Karpyshyn was the writer for that, I believe he was, and for ME2 as well, along with Hack Walters. 

He was in charge of Citadel, and he was a writer for ME. There is no excuse for this kind of crap he keeps pulling.
