Mass Effect: Evolution Preview

BioWare and Dark Horse Comics’ Mass Effect: Evolution comic book mini-series won’t kick off until January 19th, so in the meantime, we’ve been treated to this image-laden preview on the official BioWare blog. Word is:

In Mass Effect Evolution, Mass Effect 2 & 3 Lead Writer Mac Walters reveals the origin of one of Mass Effect 2’²s most intriguing characters, The Illusive Man. Mac is again joined by co-writer John Jackson Miller (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) and artist Omar Francia (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2). The covers are done by Massimo Carnivale (Y: The Last Man) and by Joe Quinones (Star Wars Knight Errant).

Mass Effect Evolution chronicles humanity’s first deadly days on the galactic stage and uncovers the pivotal role The Illusive Man played in it all! Available only in comics, this essential piece of Mass Effect canon offers new insights for existing fans, while the focus on humanity’s first steps into the wider Mass Effect universe provides a riveting story of action and intrigue.

Check with your local comic shops or bookstores to pick up a copy or order online. And, for the first time, you can order digital copies of Mass Effect Evolution through the Dark Horse Digital Comics program or through the Dark Horse brand bookshelf app on iTunes. This means if you are not near a comic book shop, or live overseas away from retailers, you can still get your digital copies of Mass Effect Evolution and learn the secrets of The Illusive Man.
