[sinvraal]

So it's a bit in advance, but apparently Dark Horse will be doing a Joker comic for Free Comic Book Day 2013 (May 4th).

I am torn between 'NO WAI' disbelief, "AWESOME!!!", and wondering how Mac Walters is going to eff this one up.

Ditto. Exactly ditto.

Doesn't look much like Joker though. Might be his latino doppleganger, Bromista.

My first reaction was "WHERE IS JOKER AND WHY ARE YOU WEARING HIS HAT?"

My second reaction was, "Thank you, Mass Effect Comics. You make me feel so much better about my own artistic skills."

[luslanz]

Maybe it's the hat's origin story and Joker got it from this guy.

Kinda like Luffy from One Piece.

I like this answer.

How are the Mass Effect comics in general? Are they worth picking up? Is the artwork ok?

I have the Invasion mini!copy that came with my CE, but I have to confess I've not even opened it.

Personally, I've been very disappointed in the art, and the stories are mediocre at best. But that's just my opinion; I know some people find them more engaging.

FWIW, my partner and I read through the tie-ins together and had to stop every page or so to laugh and facepalm at the terrible writing and characters (bonding through snarkiness: relationship gold) so it's not just you.

I'm working through the comics now - and I have to admit that reading them does feel like work to me, but gratuitous T&A and ridiculous outfits really irritate me, so I need to put in a fair amount of effort to look past the art. It'd be easier to do so if there was more to see in the writing, but I'm finding the plots rather lacklustre so far. They do provide semi-enlightening background to the games, though, so I'm persevering just for that.

I'm.... cautiously excited.
