It’s Mass Effect fever and before you get too deep into Mass Effect 2, you can also enjoy the comic. The comic will be released on the iPhone.

Mass Effect: Redemption tells the story of the events that lead up to Mass Effect 2. Mac Walters, the lead writer for Mass Effect 2 wrote the comic to help gamers learn what happened between the first game and second.

“We’ve been trying to figure out a way to not only profit from these new technologies, but to use them in a way that it would drive customers into the stores of our loyal retailers” said Dark Horse Director of Communications, Dirk Wood. “We came up with the idea of this staggered release in hopes of accomplishing just that.”

Mass Effect 2 will most likely be in your hands by the time this is posted, but definitely check out the comic during breaks.
