Our colorist, Michael Atiyeh, had worked on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series our cover artist this issue did the cover for several KOTOR issues as well. “Work with us - and we might be able to bring Shepard back.” - MirandaĪ five-page preview of this issue appears in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #48, also scripted by me. So the feel may be unique to comics, but it’s all Mass Effect - and as the story goes along, readers will find that there’s a lot of detail layered in that has to do with other things going on in the video game world. Modern comics don’t do as much of that, but the curious static-while-active dynamic does still allow comics to convey information in different places. (In film, the equivalent would be a lot of “smash-cuts” - as jarring as it sounds, but commonplace in comics.)Ĭomics - and particularly the ones of the past - are also more likely to spread dialogue across action scenes, such as while characters are running or engaged in battle. In comics, for example, the (usually) white space of the gutter between panel borders provides a pause in which any amount of time may pass where a film or video game cut scene might show how characters or a ship get from point A to point B, comics stories are just as likely to handle transitions more abruptly, diving straight into the next sequence. Comics share a number of storytelling techniques with other media, but there are also some unique to it. The result is a Mass Effect story that’s integrated with the game universe - while also having something of a different feel from the game, novel, and cut-scene video content that’s out there. Particular care was taken in the handling of Commander Shepard’s character as with the KOTOR comics and Revan, the story accommodates the reader’s past decisions as a player.

Mac and Bioware were working along with us the entire time, making sure everything we came up with meshed.

Here, I had more discretion in my role, putting lines in the character’s mouths and determining how to bring the plot to the printed page.
#MASS EFFECT REDEMPTION FERON MOVIE#
The process for this issue was fairly new for me while I had scripted Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull based on the movie story, all the dialogue came from the film, so I was limited to deciding which scenes to depict and how. Mac and the Bioware team provided lots of background on the Mass Effect universe, as well as visuals and information from the unreleased game, for use by myself and artist Omar Francia, who had previously worked on Star Wars: Legacy. Mac Walters, the lead designer at Bioware, provided the plot for the story in “Redemption,” making it a true part of the Mass Effect universe, bridging the first game with its late January 2010 sequel. So I didn’t have to be convinced - and with KOTOR wrapping up and space in my schedule before other planned projects ramped up, I was able to dive in pretty quickly. I was well aware of Mass Effect, the hit video game by Bioware, the same folks that designed the first KOTOR video game I liked its military SF look and feel. In the spring of 2009, my editor on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic at Dark Horse, Dave Marshall, approached me with the opportunity to bring the Mass Effect video game universe to comics for the first time.
