When I say bridges the gap ... I mean as well as all the other stuff that's meant to do it as well. You know, Mass Effect Galaxy - the iPhone game, Mass Effect Ascension - the novel, and of course the long awaited Mass Effect 1 DLC - which is still MIA - is meant to do that also. BioWare and Dark Horse recently announced their plans to create a Mass Effect comic book, called Mass Effect Redemption, due out in Jan 2010, that is set to bridge the gap further.

"The Mass Effect: Redemption story is written by Lead Writer Mac Walters at BioWare. Walters is the script writer behind Mass Effect 2. He brings unique insight to the Mass Effect comic and nuance of the world within. The comic is scripted by John Jackson Miller (Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, The Invincible Iron Man) and drawn by Omar Francia (Star Wars Legacy). This first four-part series explores the exotic and dangerous future Milky Way of Mass Effect, revealing previously unseen locations, aliens, and enemies of this rich science fiction landscape."

"The narrative in Mass Effect: Redemption picks up just as Commander Shepard disappears and is left without the support of the crew on the Normandy in the lawless Terminus Systems. Shepard must fight for survival, and will be assisted by close companion, Dr. Liara T’Soni, to come home alive. This story is sure to be a must-read for fans looking to fill the gap between the first and second game."

Mass Effect: Redemption issue 1 hits comic shop shelves on January 6, 2010.

Interesting way to fill us in on the story, should post this article on our Mass Effect Forums.
