quote
  • "When we started talking about what we could do in the future, we said, "Well, obviously, something that's character-based could work." Rather than going into an area where we tell brand-new stories in a universe that people know already, maybe we could find ways of fleshing out some of the stories that we've heard hints of already. At a high level, that's where we thought about going with "Foundations" and that's where we went with it." (en)

  • Mass Effect: Foundation is a Canadian science fiction comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics featuring several secondary characters from the original Mass Effect trilogy. The fifth Mass Effect comic series to be produced, Foundation is a tie-in to 2013's Mass Effect 3: Citadel downloadable content, the story of Foundation explores the characters' backstories prior to their meeting with Commander Shepard. Much of its narrative is framed as reconnaissance by the antagonist of Citadel, Maya Brooks, as the point-of-view character, with the first issue exploring her childhood and origin story. The series lasted 13 issues, from July 2013 to July 2014. Most issues function as standalone stories for each featured character, and some issues have direct ties to specific events in the games. Foundation was mostly written by Mass Effect series lead writer Mac Walters, with Jeremy Barlow joining as co-writer from Issues #11 to #13, and artwork was provided by Tony Parker, Omar Francia, Drew Geraci, Matthew Clark and Garry Brown for various issues. As the first ongoing comic series in the Mass Effect franchise, Foundation was considered to be the most ambitious Mass Effect comic book series project at the time, with writer Walters committing to explore stories hinted at in the games while advancing a new narrative. The series has been received positively by critics, who praised the writing, artwork, and how it serves as a tie-in to various historical points in the Mass Effect trilogy. (en)
  • Mass Effect: Foundation è la quinta serie a fumetti ambientata nell'Universo di Mass Effect ed edito dalla Dark Horse Comics. Anziché i soliti 4 albi, è articolato in 13 uscite. L'autore principale è Mac Walters, confermato anche per questa serie dopo aver scritto le storie di tutte le serie a fumetti di Mass Effect. Tutte le storie sono state scritte da Mac Walters, eccetto l'undicesimo volume, scritto da Mac Walters insieme a Jeremy Barlow. Tutte le copertine sono state disegnate da Benjamin Carré. Per i disegni di ogni albo si sono alternati diversi autori, ma sono stati tutti colorati da Michael Atiyeh. Come in Mass Effect: Homeworlds, gli albi sono articolati in 32 pagine ciascuno. Anche se ogni numero è incentrato su un diverso personaggio della serie, quasi tutte e 13 le storie vedono l'apparizione, importante o marginale, di Rasa (nome in codice di Maya Brooks), principale antagonista del DLC La Cittadella di Mass Effect 3, e ne seguono le peripezie dal suo reclutamento in Cerberus sino alla sua decaduta come agente. In particolare il primo e l'ultimo numero narrano direttamente l'inizio e la fine della sua storia nell'organizzazione dell'Uomo Misterioso. (it)
