While we are all waiting to get our hands on the much anticipated Mass Effect 2, lead writer Mac Walters is working hard on creating a brand new story for the Mass Effect universe in the form of a comic book titled Mass Effect: Redemption. The story is exclusive to the comic and will follow a member of Commander Shepard’s team Dr. Liara T’Soni on a “deadly mission of extraordinary importance in Milky Way’s Lawless Terminus System’. Judging from the first few pages the story looks to take place around same time frame as Mass Effect 2. The comic brings with it some veterans to the Sci-Fi space genre with John Jackson Miller (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) handling the scripting and Omar Francia (Star War: Legacy) creating the artwork. Check out the first 7 pages after the cut.
