Perhaps I am wrong, but the comic while covering the original Mass Effect probably doesn't cover the expansions for the original game. Which do impact the second game, and I will go no further. There are some minor spoilers. So the PS3 user may get a free comic. They are still not going to get the definitive experience. So it is a lot of bitching about nothing.
Either you have the original game with the expansions in which case the comic would be a downgrade, or you have the original game without the expansions in which case you should purchase the expansions to get more content out of the second game. While you are at that some solid advice get the expansions for the second game. Two of the expansions are very relevant to the third game. One other expansion gives you a carry over choice into the next game. The other two expansions do not offer much, but I am sure the third game will allude to them at some point.
Why complain about a five dollar comic when you are going to need to buy thirty dollars worth of expansions for the third installment of the series to get the full effect.
SPOILER,For those who do not intend to get the expansions.
Mass Effect 1.
Bring Down the Sky is alluded to via extranet, and a certain poisoning event has a lot to do with what happened. Plus if you saved the hostages you would know that the terrorist is still on the loose. I am crossing my fingers that I get the chance to blow his head off in the third game. You also get a mail if you saved the hostages.
Mass Effect 2.
Kasumi Stolen Memory allows you to have the new character save the data. Cross your fingers for a tie in in the third game. Not sure if deleting the data will give you a alternate quest. Anyway the new character should create a tie in for the third game.
Lair of the Shadow Broker sees Liara Tsoni overthrow the Shadow Broker, and take his place. That is really not going to make sense to people in the third game. Not to mention another named character.
Arrival sees Shephard blowing up a star system, blocking a Reaper arrival, and Killing a shitload of Batarians. That not having a big impact in the third game is unthinkable.
