Despite not trusting Feron, Liara agrees to allow him to get into the Shadow Broker’s headquarters on the planet Alingon, in the hopes of getting to Shepard. However, the Collectors have arrived to take his body. Liara trashes the Shadow Broker’s comm point (or whatever it is) as Feron gains access to all the information on the Broker’s deal with the Collectors. Then he decides to tell Liara who he is really working for.

What they got right: The story continues to get more interesting. Twists abound, but not overplayed. The little moments (like the scene with the guards) adds an amusing quality that makes it easier to believe the world the comic takes place in. The visuals help with that.

What they got wrong: It looks like they reuse the panel from the beginning of the guard scene at the end of the scene.

Recommendation: While not ranking a “five” (out of five, using ComiXology’s rating system), it’s a strong “four”, and a great read. I recommend it even if you haven’t played the game.
