#Mac walters comic con interview series
Reading the series won’t just add to your experience of the universe, it will change the way you look at Mass Effect 2… and beyond.” The first issue should hit stands January 6, 2010. “We worked very closely with Dark Horse to make sure this story was built in to the Mass Effect 2 arc, right from the ground up. “Fans of Mass Effect are going to be pleasantly shocked by the events in these comics,” said Mac Walters in a statement. Mass Effect: Redemption will be a four issues miniseries–the first of several, according to the press release–with a story by Mass Effect 2 scriptwriter Mac Walters that explores “the exotic and dangerous future Milky Way of Mass Effect, revealing previously unseen locations, aliens, and enemies of this rich science fiction landscape.” Walters will cede scripting duties to John Jackson Miller (Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, The Invincible Iron Man) and art’s being handled by Omar Francia (Star Wars Legacy). It is written by Mass Effect 2 lead writer.

Not entirely sure, but I believe this is the cover shot for Mass Effect: Redemption issue #1. Mass Effect: Conviction is an eight-page mini-comic that details how Alliance soldier James Vega came to be a part of Commander Shepard's trial on Earth. (That’s her looking all Alien Nation meets Farscape in the shot below.) That would be squad member T’Soni, an asari researcher and potential paramour of Shepard’s during the first game. In any case, the story concerns Shepard, stuck somewhere “in the lawless Terminus Systems,” having to “fight for survival” with assistance from one Dr. Wasn’t the point of the game (and the novels) to avoid canonizing the protagonist’s tale? Not that I’m opposed to hearing BioWare’s take, but I’m already seeing comments from fans taking (mild) offense. No word yet whether BioWare plans to ship alternate male/female story versions. The story is actually about him…or, well, her…if you ret-conned the default character profile, that is.

(Don’t look now, you might actually be getting goose bumps.) Mass Effect: Redemption commences with the last game’s protagonist MIA. T here to promote the Mass Effect comic series by Dark Horse Comics, he was gracious enough to answer some questions for us, not only about the Mass Effect games themselves, but what it takes to be a writer for video games.

According to the press blurb, the story bridges the “heroic conclusion” of Mass Effect ( PCW Score: 60%) with the “mysterious beginning” of Mass Effect 2. This weekend, I and fellow GameSkinny columnist Stephanie Tang, got the opportunity to sit down with Mass Effect series' lead writer Mac Walters at New York Comic-Con.
