I remember reading through the Mass Effect Wiki articles and found multiple points in a character's story line that had vivid artwork but I clearly remember not occurring in game. I found the names of the various graphic novels and then looked for a complete compendium of those comics. This is it. I bought myself a copy and practically jittered with excitement as I cracked open the first page. I spent all night reading the entire thing. There was some disgust (I hated Blasto as a character in the Citadel DLC) but most of it was supplementary knowledge that I would have otherwise missed out on. I have an idea as to why Kai Leng is so feared by the Council and the Systems Alliance, but I feel like a need to obtain the printed books to have the complete picture. I loved this book so much that I sent a copy of it to my uncle for Christmas several years back. He was the person who first introduced me to the series, and I am hooked on it like a 70s kid on Star Wars. He had no idea this book existed, and I felt like returning part of the favor. The fact that he is mainly a graphic novel guy is just a bonus. ...someone needs to create a story line about some of the other characters in the ME series and gaps in their appearances (Legion, Grunt, Miranda, etc.), but that is not the fault of this publisher. The stories need to be drawn.

For fans of the ME franchise, this collection provides some much needed and amazing backstreet to some of your favorite characters and events. Read this in about 2 days and genuinely did not want to, nor could I, put it down. Definitely worth the purchase 100%!

My 14 year old son purchased this with his allowance and has never been more pleased. This book has been printed on a heavy glossy page that is beautiful. My son was rattling on for over fifteen minutes about the stories he had not expected to be include in the complete set as they were some kind of special one...to be honest I might have blacked out a minute during this time as my recollection is a bit sketchy, I mean the whole reason we bought it was the statement, "Every Mass Effectcomic book series collected into a single volume for the first time", feels pretty inclusive. Regardless of any of that my son says it is excellent in content and I say the quality is excellent. The artwork is bright and colorful, it is glossy thick pages, the glue binding is well done,and the weight is very nice.

Super affordable collection of comics that tell prequels and missing storylines leading up to the greatest gaming trilogy of all time. I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite graphic novel collection on the citadel

I am not much of a comic book fan, but I love Mass Effect enough that this was a no brainer for me. I love the lore, and I'll take any way to get more backstory to these beloved characters. This book is nearly perfect, and the stories I have read so far tied up loose ends in an entertaining way without contradicting the storylines in the games. The pages are beautifully done, and I have no issues with ripping and tearing as other have. The one major drawback for me, as a couple others mentioned: Why would you release a book like this without a table of contents?!?!?! As these were ordered by release date and not their place in the overall story arch, I would have liked to reference a table so I could easily read the stories that are sequels back to back. The gripe I have is that nearly every comic has an illustration cover page before it, to signify the start of the next release. The exceptions are the Foundation series (which shows backstories for Kaidan, Thane, Jack, etc) which have no such pages, and no divider to tell you that the story ends and another is picking up.

My girlfriend loved it unfortunately it got a little damaged cuz it got rained on. But it includes scenes from before the game that give a lot more info and detail which I found interesting.

Really like the artis and it is aust have for anyone into the world of mass effect.

It arrived fast and looks great! there are a few details that could be due to the delivery process but nothing major :-) thank you very much, loved it

Great compilation of the comics around the Mass Effect series. For a fan of the series, I'm very satisfied with the contents as it explores the universe around the games and provides some additional background. The book is quite massive so 4500JPY-5000JPY is a good price for it. I however noticed some troubling quality issues: 1) a page was incorrectly cut and the extra bit of paper caused a rip 2) one page presented some folds and misprint (ink overlap) making it very difficult to read. The pages are thin for such a big book so I recommend to turn pages with care

Mi prendo due secondi per parlare della qualità generale del prodotto, poi entro nel dettaglio di quello che è incluso. La qualità è buona, tuttavia la Dark Comics l'ha intesa come una collection che possa essere fruibile dalla maggioranza delle persone e questo vuol dire che non è un prodotto premium. Le pagine sono molto sottili, infatti e bisogna prestare attenzione per non romperle. [Piccolo appunto la collezione è in inglese e non in italiano]. Si sente anche la mancanza di un indice (o di un appendice) qualcosa che renda più facile la "navigazione" dell'utente all'interno del prodotto. È molto corposo (quasi 800 pagine), ma purtroppo senza sapere la locazione dei fumetti risulta un po' dispersivo. Anche perché non sono in ordine cronologico. Faccio un ultimo appunto alla copertina, che è meravigliosa. È vibrante, non solo i colori. L'illustrazione è di Massimo Carnevale e raffigura Aria T'Loak. Davvero stupenda. Fatta questa premessa sulla qualità generale del prodotto, questa collezione include tutti i fumetti. E quando dico tutti, intendo davvero TUTTI. È una manna dal cielo, perché recuperare i singoli fumetti è diventato molto difficile. A seguire indico l'ordine in cui i vari albi e fumetti sono inclusi nel libro e vi do qualche riferimento su dove collocarli temporalmente nella saga: Mass Effect: Redemption (#1-4) - da pagina 5 a 94. Gli eventi narrati avvengono dopo la sequenza di apertura di ME2. Mass Effect: Evolution (#1-4) - da pagina 95 a 184.One-shot che avviene prima di ME1. Mass Effect: Invasion (#1-4) - da pagina 185 a 275. Prequel di ME3. Mass Effect: Homeworlds (#1-4) - James da pagina 276 a 298 / Tali da pagina 299 a 322 / Garrus da pagina 323 a 346 / Liara da pagina 347 a 370. Serie che si concentra su 4 dei personaggi più amati e che avviene prima di ME1. Mass Effect: Incursion - da pagina 371 a 380. One-shot prequel di ME2. Mass Effect: Inquisition da pagina 381 a 390. One-shot post ME2. Mass Effect: Conviction - da pagina 391 a 400. One-shot post ME2. He who laughs best - da pagina 401 a 410. One-shot che avviene prima di ME1. Blasto eternity is forever - da pagina 411 a 424. One-shot su Blasto lo spettro Hanar. Mass Effect: Foundation (#1-13) da pagina 425 a 712. Serie incentrata sul personaggio di Maya Brooks, di cui segue tutta la carriera (appare sia con ruoli principali che secondari). Compaiono tantissimi personaggi dei giochi in questi albi: Wrex, Ashley, Kaidan, Miranda, Jacob, Jack, Thane, Mordin, Kasumi, Zaeed. La serie inizia prima di ME1 e si dilata temporalmente fino a prima dell'inizio di ME2. Mass Effect: Discovery (#1-4) da pagina 713 a 794. Serie che segue le avventure di Trian Kandros e si colloca temporalmente dopo ME3 durante gli eventi di Andromeda.

You get so much more than what you pay for with this one. Totally worth it! I bought it on offer for about 30EURO.

A great collection for a great price.
