Instead it is actually one of the creators saying ‘this is a Mass Effect comic, built from the foundations of the Mass Effect universe.’ The challenges really come from my own inexperience in writing comics. Dark Horse right at the beginning said ‘we want someone like Mac writing this’ so it isn’t just some random person writing about Mass Effect. MW: Well, I think you alluded to some of the successes, as we wanted to make sure that it was tied back into the games. Of course we had a surprise visit from Dragon Age, but people did not know that and to find out that they capped the line almost an hour before, it was just incredible.ĭS: Speaking of the panel and the comics, how hard was it to transition from the games to the comics? It seems like the transition from games to movies never really works, but the transition from games to comics seems to not only have gone really smoothly for Mass Effect, but has also actually turned out to be very unique and interesting, as they then tie back into the games, such as with the Shadow Broker DLC. This was the first truly Mass Effect only panel. That one was sort of multi-discipline, as there were people from The Old Republic there. It was just incredible, where we packed a panel room.

MW: With each successive con, the Mass Effect fans have really shown up, just like in San Diego earlier this year.
