I was severely disappointed with this series. The art and writing are both lacking. It felt like the scripter had not played the original Mass Effect as the characterization is nothing like the game. Liara is a competent, determined, yet quiet character in the game. Here she's an 80's action hero making quips as she bashes heads in - she's really nothing like that in game (This was noted by most reviews I've read around the net as well). I love the idea of her trying to rescue Shepard's body, but the execution is quite poor.
I also get leery when every threat against her has a rape undercurrent (ie, she's threatened with rape within a page of the series opening) - very lazy writing in my opinion. The story is very short and can be summed up in a few sentences. If you've played ME2, there's really no reason to read this as it doesn't tell you anything new or interesting.
Quite disappointing.Get more detail about Mass Effect Volume 1: Redemption.
