Thanks to previous mini-series, Mass Effect fans have been able to learn more about characters like The Illusive Man and Aria T’Loak. Now the fauxhawked soldier who’ll be running alongside your Commander Shepard gets the spotlight in the first issue of the new Mass Effect: Homeworlds series. You can take an exclusive look at issue one’s covers in the images above. Written by Mass Effect 3 lead writer Mac Walters, each instalment of Homeworlds will focus on one of the main characters of the game. You can look for Mass Effect: Homeworlds to hit comics shops and digital storefronts this April.

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 12:28 PMdont be anxious bro mass effect has been going downhill ever since drew karpshyn left as lead writer and bioware pretty much everythign bioware has put out since being purchased by EA has sucked terribly (and yes this includes TOR banning people for exploring thier wow clone do they have no shame)

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 3:28 PMEchoing Greg’s statements, the quality of Mass Effect’s writing has taken a nosedive since Drew Karpyshyn (lead writer for Mass Effect) was sent to work on TOR. Unfortunately he’s responsible for most of the EU material which is also pretty poor in my opinion. I never cared for Mac’s “humans are special” theme in ME2 and I wish I could erase my memories of fighting the “human reaper” from my mind.

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 6:04 PMI’m Commander Shepard and this is my favourite overused funny then annoying MEME on the Interwebnets.

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 6:07 PMI have to say I’ve enjoyed both games, even with the slight Nerfing of ME2, but unless Bioware REALLY fucked up, we should be in for a big ending, whether they give in to EA’s “make it as marketable as possible! Mirror’s Edge still has us in debt!” or not.
Although Jersey Shore Of The Cosmic Ocean up there DOES worry me.

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 6:25 PMJersey Shore of the Cosmic Ocean is a wonderful name :D
He does have significantly more depth, from what I’ve read from the leaked information. While the character might be a not-so-subtle attempt to grab a certain type of gung-ho macho fauxhawk tattoo loving audience (o_O), his story is interesting enough and he has a lot of good interaction with other characters.
They really upped the banter quota for ME3, most of it on the Normandy I think, and he has some awesome lines.

I preferred the way he looked in the original teaser for ME3…you know…British and professional.
