Mass Effect Gets Its First Ongoing Comic Book Series

Mass Effect has had its fair share of miniseries comic books, but for the first time, BioWare's narrative rich sci-fi universe is getting an ongoing series care of Dark Horse Comics.

The series will be called Mass Effect: Foundation, and will be written by Mac Walters. Walters started writing for the Mass Effect universe starting with Mass Effect 2, was the story lead for Mass Effect 3, and wrote four of the Mass Effect miniseries comic books.

The content of Foundation is still a bit of a mystery, but if the images above are any indication, it looks like it won't be following the exploits of Commander Sheppard, and will focus on the mysterious red-headed woman seen above.

ComicBookResources.com has an interview with Walters about the upcoming series.

  • Meh
  • Cool, might check this out. I've been reading the novels and their pretty good.
  • You misspelled Commander Shepard. :P

  • meh as well. I say meh but I may read it. doubt it will be that popular.

  • Story lead for Mass Effect 3? I'll pass.
  • Somehow I am very uninspired.

  • Is that Bruce Willis? Also, what's the point? ME3's story has already been told, what could this comic tell that hasn't already been told in the main game?
  • Mac Walters? I'm looking forward to the retcons....

  • To the best of my knowledge, none of the Mass Effect novels, graphic novels and the such, did not follow the exploits of Shepard, either. Around, yes, but not directly. You have the three video game entries for that.

  • That's nice, but I think it's going to take more than a tie-in comic to win back the audience's good will for Mass Effect.
  • Interesting I guess.

  • Eff Mac Walters. Since that debacle with ME3's ending, I hate that guy
  • I wish they would stop fumbling around with this Universe and move on already. The Mass Effect 3 ending was sad enough, you don't have to rub it in with even more terrible writing.

    Mass Effect used to be a great series, it's sad what it's become. A sacred cash cow for the indoctrinated masses, Commander Shepard would not be proud.
  • No thanks, the games are just fine for me.

  • AWESOME

  • Awesome! Gonna have to put a little more into my comic book fund from now on, haha

  • Man, I wish I could afford comic books :(  But all my spare money goes to games.

  • Mac the hack Walters
