Stopping bullets with biotics, nice.

Funny - only 4 pages so they don't reveal any secrets, heh.



One thing that strikes me: Liara fighting in the comic seems really out of character at first she's so shy when you interact in ME1. And then you think that she was next to Shepard during the entire events of ME1, blasting people. They didn't do a good job of rectifying fighter Liara (and she's a very good fighter) with scientist Liara in the game - but that's really difficult since her entire character development in ME1 is in relation to Shepard!



Not really sure how to solve that. It's hard to define a character when you only see them interact with the player. How did she handle herself before she met Shepard? We have no idea. How does she interact with other people? Awkwardly, I'd assume (which makes it hard to believe she'd become a savvy businesswoman in just 2 years without help).



She needed more interaction with other characters in ME1, though that's true of most of that game's characters, I suppose.

Yeah!  Is that a 'barrier' or something?

[morrie23]

jlb, I guess it would be barrier, looks much better here than in game IMO.

Liara should just be the new Shepard! She can solo the Reapers!

Looked to me more like Liara was dodging those bullets with some kind of biotic charge.

Yeah, that was my initial impression as well.  It's hard to tell if the bullets are hitting the wall behind her, or breaking apart in mid-air.  Either way... it's badass.

Remember who was her mother (according to Shiala) Benezia was very powerful even for an Asari standards and it's still unclear how powerful was her "father" so perhaps Liara in ME 1 was just a "sleeping Dragon" waiting to be awaken when time of her great trial have come.



I hope that Liara will have this armor when she join Normandy as squad member.

[Goodwood]

Yes, moar Liara!

Perhaps she has been very reserved until now, that she has become so full of rage over whats going on, and has come out of her shell.

Although I agree it is a bit wierd to see Liara like this, after what we saw in ME1.

Well, no that's not what I mean. If you use Liara for most of ME1, think about how many people she kills. Think about how many people Shepard kills. The fighting really ISN'T out of character for her - it's just that all the game's character development is done on the Normandy instead of during the missions.

All your crew are super dangerous people that wipe out platoons of enemies constantly - this level of arse-kicking is believable when you consider that. It's just an observation of mine

And I think she's dodging to the side in that panel, the bullets are hitting the wall.

Realize also its a comic book, and comic books are driven by VISUAL action.  They are not meant to go into great narration or detail as a book or film could.  They have little room for such and we shouldn't expect a whole lot of that.  In fact, considering four pages of the comic is clearly just ass kicking, and there is likely to be more, I can pretty safely assume that there is not going to be a whole lot of room for character exposition, introspection, or great emotional depth.

Its a comic book folks.  Things blow up.  Action, ka-pow.  I think Liara's action packed attitude was played up exactly for that reason...there isn't time in a short comic to show "shy girl becomes badass" or explain why.


In other words, I wouldn't take Liara's personality as "canon" or necessarily what will be reflected in game.  No character, even renegade Shepard, comes off so over the top "eat sh** and die".

If you notice the background, that whole scene takes place in the same computer room that Liara just destroyed in Redemption 3. And if they're responding to the comms going out and heading to that room, then it seems like there probably wasn't much time for Feron to do anything but tell Liara who he was working for. Then maybe he ran off on a stealth mission while she deals with the guards or something.

FINALLY! though it leaves me craving more!

yeah, it seems like there isn't a whole lot of room left in one comic to get a lot in. With so much ground to cover, people shouldn't get their expectations TOO high about SHOCKING REVELATIONS and the like.  If anything, it is catch up to prepare us for an eventual mission that deals with the SB issue, whether as part of a Liara DLC or larger expansion that links to ME 3 (in which case we won't see it for awhile).
