Here's a snippet:
Complex: Will this comic affect the future of the series in any way?
Mac Walters: These were very much intended to be something that adds to the existing world rather than bridge into something new. Of course we've already talked about a fourth Mass Effect installment, and I can't imagine that we wouldn't want to use the comics as a companion. I mean, that's where we have the best success, I think. When the comics themselves actually work with something directly in the game. Because we never just feel like, '˜this is just more Mass Effect stuff.' We want it to fit in with the games. So I imagine that in the future, if everything keeps going well, we'll be doing the same thing when the next Mass Effect comes out.
Complex: So with Commander Shepard gone, are you starting anew, or are you going to continue any of that story?
Mac Walter: Well, I can't get into details, but the idea is that we have agreed to tell a story that doesn't relate necessarily to any of the Shepard events at all, whatsoever. Beyond that, that's what we've been deciding for awhile. But throughout it all, one of the key things is that it has to be Mass Effect. It can't just feel like a spin-off. It has to feel like a Mass Effect game at its heart, at its core. Just without the Shepard character or the Shepard specific companions.
Thanks, Eurogamer.
