Oh My God, that was fantastic.

I actually got some feels from a comic on the internet.

You legitimately raised that beyond my expectations.

Thank you!

When I saw the naked Sheppard I thought "yup typical fan fic", but that was possibly one of the best things related to Mass Effect I have ever read, and legitimately gave me goosebumps. If anything even remotely this moving was in ME3, I would have never been angry at the end of the game.

Thank you for bring this comic into my life

I don't want to come off as ungrateful but the writing style is comparable to shoujo manga :0
Still I'm gonna save it to my hard drive >:3

I haven't played any of the Mass Effect games but I grokked that she was FemShep, dunno who the guy was but it didn't matter.

Very nice, Grey. That was very nice. Truly poignant. ^_^

I opened this having no idea what it was going to be, I just recognized the art. Then I saw the ME themes, and so much was said with each panel without even a word. Definitely moving and thought provoking, very well done!

I did not care for this Mass Effect fan fiction stuff. It appears a lot of others liked it, but I hope we don't see more of it.

See I can't help but feel I would have been more interested had it been Femshepard and Liara. It also might have been more interesting if I cared at all for Thane as a character. Then again that could be said of most of the characters added in ME2 and 3 save for maybe Legion. IN FACT... this would only have been interesting if Legion was the one romancing femshep.

This was really good. Like, REALLY good. But I may be biased.

I played ME2 four times, each with a different pairing. NONE of them had the depth of emotional connection that Thane's did. It was the only relationship pursuit that didn't feel like a sprint to the goal line of "OMG SEX." His was the relationship I carried into my only playthrough of ME3, and those scenes were so powerful as a result. I later discovered heard that they were largely unchanged if you didn't romance him, which (among other things) prevented me from ever wanting to play the game again.

so maybe you cheated a bit in using the best relationship. Maybe I'm biased because I genuinely loved Thane's character. Regardless of that, your comic felt real and meaningful in a way that very few points in the game did. And that's something to be damned proud of.

Dorothy Shepard really showed how sexy scars are, especially with that red hair. A drell can get a woman but I can't, foreveralone.

There are no polygons, then how can there be emotions?
Grey, did you rendered this comic on Frostbite or Cryengine?
Because there must be polygons, simply must.
And a lot of them.

P.S. Although must admit Door had more polygons ;)
Gah! Stop reminding me of the other emotions- I mean, ploygo- I mean, emotions! Are you trying to make me miserable?!

Not you, too!

PS: Also, I've thought of a dedication: "That was for Thane, you son of a *****!"

I'm trying to figure out where this story fits in to the main storyline. I'm guessing it takes place on the citadel but they encounter a ruined diner during their date. Now, this can't be taking place after the second citadel attack, since...

Thane gets killed in that attack

So I'm left to guess that this is damage left from the first attack, from the ending of the first game, but Anderson tells you that the Citadel is nearly restored, when you first meet him in ME2.
It could be any day between when you first meet him in Huerta Memorial and when get to the spoiler tag time.
By then, enough time has passed that the Citadel would have fully recovered from the first attack. It doesn't fly in my logic center. As I said, Anderson comments on how quick the repairs have been to the citadel. He even specifically points out that the main commerce districts and population centers were already fully repaired. Then we have to account at least 6 more months of repair time, between the events of the Arrival DLC and the beginning of ME3.

Even if they hadn't finished rebuilding that particular district, they would have at very least finished clearing out the rubble.

Still liked the story, none the less.

So many feels. Brings me back to when I played citadel the first time. How pailful it is to say goodbye. To move on. Great comic guys. Makes me wish I could forget all about mass effect just so I can play it all over as if i'm playing it the first time. ^^

Thane was probably my favorite male character, both the right amount of alien quality and yet so sad of a story, so terminal. And that was so my Shep... down to the scars. Wow, I am moved and happy by this comic, thank you Grey and Rachel for this awesome piece. I'd so pay for a physical copy to lovingly display it...
Wherein art is derivative, it is still unique for us all.

Which one? I can't tell if that's an insult or a compliment.
