A Human Day

[hazydawn]

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

Not directly an insult but rather negative feedback? That doesn't sound so harsh xD
I wouldn't say it's overall bad just that some parts of it appeared corny to me.
Page four with "And salvage what happiness we can from amongst the rubble" for example...
that's probably the line I took most offence with >.<
That's of course just my own humble opinion and I'm no literary critic so excuse my amateurish attempt at critique.

 

[Product Placement]

Ohh....

I may have to go and cry... and play Mass Effect again

No don't! You'll just get disappointed again!

 

[TheRaggedQueen]

Thank god I have to walk to work today, otherwise my co-workers would likely ask why I look like someone just shot my dog. It's a hell of a comic, and thank you to both Mister Carter and Miss Baggs for writing and drawing it, respectively.

 

[Sixcess]

Brilliant.

And the love scene managed to be erotic and subtle, which is rather more than the ME series usually achieves.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

I would express my exact feelings and thoughts about this piece, but mods don't seem to like it when I do that with content creators. So I'll stick to saying that I'm not very enthusiastic about fanfiction, and this did nothing to change my stance.
Props to the artist, though. Loved the art.

It's ok, I got over the crappy ending. Now I just remember the good that made up the trilogy

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I've got to be honest. This made me a little uncomfortable, but that's due to my own personal hang-ups. So I will will also say that it's very well written, if rather sad, and the artwork is astounding.

 

[DragonWright]

So apparently that guy has terrible taste in movies.

Can we get Sterling to do a Movie Defense Force for Blasto 6?

 

[Wintermute_v1legacy]

The art is very nice, and the words are also pretty good, considering I'm not fond of fan fiction. What I'm trying to say is, I would read more of this.

 

[Estelindis]

Beautifully poignant. I'm really happy to see some work that makes me feel positively about Mass Effect. (I do read some great Mass Effect fanfic by Sinvraal, but apart from that I don't have much else.)

 

[Thedutchjelle]

I'm not really into the ME universe but eh, are the lady and the "alien" both humans?

I mean.. two completely different species having the exact same reproduction organs (and bipadlism and humanoid features) but originating from different planets.. ? That just kills my suspension of disbelief :\

ME does the classic pulp sci-fi thing of having all the important species look like differently coloured humans. It bugged me at first, but there's a long tradition of it in soft sci fi.

Friendship is magic, magic is sparkling alien bums/10

Feels weren't had, humor was great though. Not a fault on the author, Bioware killed my immersion twice already. If Casey Hudson is even near ME4 I'll have to pass just like I did on all the ME3 DLC.

As for the sexy time, maybe his seed transfer organ is held inside his body behind all the scales like a crocodile or a dog. As for Shepard's poor thighs and crotch, well hopefully she coated her body in lube or something to avoid chaffing.

 

[Darth_Payn]

Dammit, Grey, there are so many feels here! This comic was touching, sweet, funny, and "AW"-inducing. Well done, man! You prove that "fan fiction" doesn't have to be a bad thing.

 

[Farther than stars]

This wasn't half bad. Here's hoping that Bioware doesn't rain down hell on the Escapist with a wrongful-usage lawsuit.

 

[Gothproxy]

This is, perhaps, the BEST thing I have ever read on The Escapist. The best fan-fiction I have read, hands down. And certainly one of the best short stories (comics, etc.) I have read in a very long time.

 

[pretzil]

Yet another reminder of how badly the escapist need a picture slideshow system so you dont have to keep scrolling and clicking next...

 

[Yoshi4102]

I almost didn't realize that was supposed to be Fem-Shep. Honestly forgot that there was even that choice.

I feel dum

 

[scw55]

I feel like I've sinned.

I saw the front cover and thought "Why is that Silurian wearing Dr Smith's costume?"

 

[Arawn]

I know I'm slow on the comment, but someone sent me the link just recently. That being said I join others in complimenting the high quality art and story. Sweet, simple, effective. Rare to see such things. I'm tempted to play through ME1-3 just from reading. Keep up the good work.
