Underdeveloped But Good Art & Action
3 Stars
Underdeveloped But Good Art & Action
I recently turned 47, and have been reading comic books and playing video games to varying degrees for at least 40 of those years. 'Discovery' is an entertaining sci-fi excursion in the Mass Effect universe. It compiles four comics into one volume, and the art and action are fast and furious. There is some mildly graphic violence, but about what I'd expect from a book like this based upon a first person shooter games, so it is appropriate for the audience.What I could not get past is that I, as a newbie to the world of ME, was thrust into it with very little back story or character development. I'm sure if you play the games and are interested in reading a prequel story based on the new Andromeda release, then this graphic novel would be more understandable and right up your alley. I'm into sci-fi and rolled with the punches, but reading this book felt like hopping on a train after it had left the station without knowing where it was going or who was on board. While I generally found the writing good, the editing was very choppy and there were a few parts where I found myself looking back a page to see if I had missed something. Some characters appear briefly and are never really explained.I personally enjoyed Mass Effect: Discovery, but I felt it could have been a much more cohesive story. I doubt anyone who isn't familiar with the Mass Effect video game series will get much from it.~ Kort

Really glad that Bioware made a comic for the prequel to Andromeda. This is really cool that Kandros got his own story. Loved that guy. If you are a fan of the series, you should definitely read it.

Warning though, mine came damaged since someone only packed it into a bubble mailer. Covers were cracked which made me pretty mad. But the story is good. You should get it.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
The announcement that there would be no sequel to Mass Effect Andromeda was heartbreaking for those of us who embraced the game, which tantalized at larger mysteries in the Andromeda galaxy, not to mention the conspiracy back in the Milky Way that put the Andromeda Initiative together in the first place.

Discovery is a comic collection prequel to the game that isn't going to tell you much about where the story was going, but which delves into some of the mysteries behind what created the Initiative in the first place. It's an action-heavy story featuring a Turian commando trying to figure out what is going on.

The art is solid, as is the writing, and the story itself explores some unseen aspects of the ME universe. The ties to the video games are fairly distant and loose, so don't expect to learn amazing new things about characters you already like, but if you like the world of Mass Effect and enjoy "expanded universe"-style content, this story is a good, fast blast into the world the games are set in.

Be warned, this is NOT an introduction. You'll be plunged right in this world with little explanation. Those who don't know the games will feel lost.

My rating is intended for Mass Effect fans.

If you're instead a comic fan looking for a good sci-fi comic who doesn't otherwise know Mass Effect, this is instead a 3.

As someone who is late for mass affect Andromeda game, I appreciate all of the comics and books that add lore to the game. This was a good story, but with it being in comic book form it was pretty quick. I’ll admit some of the dialogue was cheesy, but overall it was an entertaining read.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I read this a couple months ago and struggled to come up with a review but couldn't think of much to say so I read it again and again had a difficult time composing a proper review. The n it occurred to me that the reason that I couldn't write a review was that the most I could think to say was 'meh'.
The story is okay and the artwork is good but I felt like I was coming into the middle of a story that has been going on for a long time. There wasn't sufficient character building for me to become engaged with any of the characters. Besides, with everyone in similar spacesuits I had a hard time telling them apart.

2.0 out of 5 stars Flat, forgettable, and totally inessential.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022
“Mass Effect: Discovery” is the sole comic book tie-in released as promotion for “Mass Effect: Andromeda”; it’s also, unfortunately, kind of a lemon. Writer Jeremy Barlow does his best to invigorate the proceedings here, at least on a narrative level – while a prequel to the game, “Discovery” doesn’t fall into the traps that claim far too many other comic/novel tie-ins that are set before the events of their respective games. That being said, “Discovery” ALSO doesn’t do too much that’s either compelling or interesting on its own terms: most of what’s here is pretty standard sci-fi stuff, and in terms of cross-connections to the the game, “Discovery” doesn’t feature any story material that’s a “must know” for fans who might be interested in capturing the full “Andromeda” story.

In other words? This is an easy skip.

I epected more for the money to be honest. I've several Mass Effect books and this is my first comic. It's fun to read and look at but lasted two hours before I finished and I'm a slow reader. If you're a huge fan of Mass Effect this is a must to add to your collection, if you're not too bothered, I wouldn't bother.

Quality of the comic is nice, it's bright and vibrant but also lacking in that wow factor.

Quizá no la mejor serie de comic de Mass Effect (y solo está en inglés, ojo) pero es imprescindible en la coleccion de todo fan del universo.

Here you have the full last serie of comic to Mass Effect, and for now, the only one of Andromeda (though it happens everything in our galaxy, before of launching, showing us the Andromeda Initiative, Jien Garson, and a interesting geth secret who deserves a book or comic to explain it. Maybe isn't the best serie of Mass Effect, but it must be in the library of any REAL fan of this universe
