The other problem is how Liara is portrayed as a stone cold killer and a bit too "Rambo" for what we know of her in the games. The ending is abrupt, with a bit of closure but more of an effort to set up both ME2 and the DLC. The art is also very good with characters and locations closely drawn to those in the game. There's lots of action and exciting sequences. The story moves along at a furious pace and the dialogs are decent. I suppose I should mention that if you haven't played the games or aren't a fan of this universe this will hold little value to you. A large part of the comic takes place on Omega, which is always a plus and we even get a small appearance from Aria. You get to see how Liara met Feron and how their relationship evolved and find out more about her motivations in the DLC. The comic is also a wonderful bridge to the DLC, "Lair of the Shadow Broker" which is still the best in the whole trilogy. The book is also essential as Liara is a different character when you meet her in ME2 and Redemption gives us a better picture of how she went from a shy archaeologist in the first game to a powerful and confident information broker in the second game. It shows how Shepard came to be in Cerberus possession and we even get a glimpse at the start of project Lazarus in the final page. It tells the story of how Liara recovered Shepard's body from the Shadow Broker after the Normandy was attacked by the Collector's in the first sequence of "Mass Effect 2". "Mass Effect: Redemption" is essential and a "must have" comic for any fan of this universe.
