With all the hype and excitement surrounding the game, it's refreshing to see that Bioware isn't simply milking the franchise by putting out a mediocre comic. Fans of the game will get a kick out of this semi-prequel, but it's also accessible enough for any science fiction fan to enjoy. If the entire issue looked more like the first two pages then I would have been more satisfied with it. Because of that, the whole book comes off as more light-hearted than I'm sure it is intended to be. Everything pops out at you, and while the game can be vibrant at times, the dark undertones aren't present here. My only real complaint is that the coloring, while pleasing to the eye, doesn't match the tone of the book, or the game for that matter. His interesting layouts and ability to convincingly draw various alien characters went a long way towards my enjoyment of this issue and immersing me in the Mass Effect universe. Omar Francia is the perfect choice for this book since he can draw the hell out of some aliens. It occurred enough times for me to notice, but not enough to ruin the overall experience of the book. This is usually a problem for writers that come into comics from other forms of media, as they might find it difficult to discern just how much exposition to give the readers.
There's also a tendency for the book to be too wordy at times, so some of the scenes could have benefited from being tightened up a bit more. All signs point to Feron not sticking around past this mini, so it would make sense to develop the character enough for me to care about him if and when he makes his departure. I'm curious as to where the relationship between these two will end up, and I wish it had been fleshed out more in this issue. We then follow her and Feron around as they attempt to track down Commander Shepard's body and run into some interesting characters along the way. Instead we see the events from Liara's point of view, which is a great way to flesh out her motives for undertaking the task at hand. It doesn't even come close to matching the epic scale of the events in the game, but that clearly wasn't the intent. This issue starts off with an abridged version of the opening scene for Mass Effect 2. Although we know the overall outcome of this mini, it is written well-enough that I'm genuinely interested in the specific plot points that play out here. The biggest question on my mind before reading this issue was the same one that Jesse posed last month: Can this series sustain interest after the game has already been released? At this point I'm inclined to say yes.
