Mass Effect Redemption: A Journey Through Uncertainty

Liara T'Soni, once a supporting character, takes center stage in the Mass Effect series as she embarks on a quest for answers about Commander Shephard's true fate alongside readers. The first issue of Redemption opens with Shephard believed dead across the galaxy, and various factions eager to claim what remains - be it living or deceased.

Bioware has made no secret about the uncertainty surrounding Commander Shephard and his crew as Mass Effect 2 begins. Those expecting Redemption to serve as a bridge between the first Mass Effect and its upcoming sequel will find that this comic takes a different approach. Unlike traditional videogame comics, which often act as prequels to their corresponding games, Redemption offers something new.

Fortunately, the same care and attention evident in Dark Horse's memorable Star Wars comics is present in Mass Effect: Redemption. To skimp on storytelling in a Mass Effect comic would be to miss the point entirely. The series already thrives on its powerful narrative and acting abilities, making it refreshing to see a videogame book challenge these expectations.

Mass Effect: Redemption sets out to explore the unknown, leaving readers with more questions than answers as Liara delves into the mystery of Shephard's fate. With Bioware's dedication to storytelling evident throughout, this comic is sure to captivate fans of the series and newcomers alike.
