Couldn’t she still just be that super intelligent, century-old yet naive Asari we all know and love? It’s an interesting character decision and one that kind weakens her, in my opinion. I can buy that she emotionally and psychologically hardened herself during the events of Mass Effect and after Shepard’s death, but now she’s knocking out Turians in one hit and sniping mercs with her pistol from 100 meters out. When speaking with her it was obvious she looked down more microscopes than gun barrels, but in Redemption she’s almost a super heroine herself. Remember when you discovered Liara in Mass Effect? She was a quivering scientist that trapped herself in her own panic room to escape some bad guys. As a student of the Mass Effect series, however, I can say that Liara’s outfit is kind of ridiculous and she’s been super-sexualized AND turned into a bad-ass all at once. So the questions of how good the art is and how effective the full-page spreads are mostly bounce off me uselessly. Growing up in a small town with no shops doesn’t help, but I’ve never been that interested in the superhero mythology. I’ll admit straight away I’m not a comics reader, sure, I’ve read the essential graphic novels such as Watchmen, 300, and The Killing Joke, but I’ve never been a weekly or monthly follower. I plan to cover them allīefore the release of Mass Effect 3, but let’s start with the first one.
