She’s even willing to team up with Cerberus, of all people! I really love seeing Liara’s dedication seen and not just inferred.

Liara is willing to take on the Shadow Broker and the Collectors to try to rescue her friend, Shepard. How far are you willing to go for you friends (and/or lovers, depending on your Shepard). It’s the story of the power of friendship. What I do know is story and the story was awesome. I felt like they perfectly captured the essence of the games. I’m not an expert in comic art, but I found the artist’s style to be beautiful. How did Liara get into the information business? How did Cerberus get a hold of Shepard’s body? Redemption answers those questions and more! This comic fills in some of those gaps and answers some questions. A lot happened to Shepard’s closest friends in that time. It took Cerberus 2 years to rebuild Shepard. Shepard was basically killed in that battle, but he/she was rebuilt/resurrected/revived by Cerberus. Redemption takes place after the Normandy is destroyed by the Collectors at the beginning of Mass Effect 2. (Disclaimer: I may be a bit biased in writing this review, because Liara is my favorite character in Mass Effect. Redemption is a prequel to Mass Effect 2 starring Liara T’Soni. It’s time to catch up! I review all of the comics below… Redemption All of that was packed into a 417 page hard cover book!

Finally, there’s also a sketchbook included from Artist, Omar Francia. It also includes all three of the short comics released so far: Incursion, Inquisition, and Conviction. It contains all 4 of the multi-issue ME comic series that Dark Horse has released so far: Redemption, Evolution, Invasion, and Homeworlds. Then, the Mass Effect Library Edition Volume 1 came out. I was especially excited to hear that the ME Writers were in close collaboration with Dark Horse. Now, while I did read the first two, I hadn’t caught up on all of them yet. When I heard that there were comics that expanded on the ME Universe, I knew I had to read them. If you’re a regular reader here at The Rhodes Review, then you know that I’m a HUGE fan of the Mass Effect series.
