             Mass Effect Media Megapost Version 2.0 (V 1.0 here)

It’s been about a year since I put these up so I thought it was about time for a bit of an update. I’ve added the most recent comic from Free Comic Book Day about Joker, put placeholders for the new series Foundation and updated all the links.

First off, none of these files were created by me, they have come from various places and friends when I wanted digital copies of the books and comics in addition to my hard copies. So thank you to all the kind people who have uploaded these over the past few years.

Remember if you do enjoy them please show your support! You can buy all of these in various places such as:

Things From Another World - have all the comics and worldwide shipping.

For fellow Australians - Kings Comics have them most of the comics, and very cheap postage and so do Minotaur.

Dark Horse Digital - digital copies of all comics available.

Book Depository - have the novels (and some comics) for a low price with free postage.

Additionally, most of the comics are now availble in the Library (Volume 1) Collection.

To read the .cbr/.cbz files there are a few options (all free)

I felt like giving this its own post, sorry everone:

How a Prothean coughlikeJaviksincehesthelastonealivecough might see an asari, Liara T’soni in this case

This picture is based on this gloriously wonderful post by girlmeetsgame http://girlmeetsgame.tumblr.com/post/46230620965 especially this part:

Something else I want to point out is that BioWare could have subverted the trope, and had the most perfect opportunity in the world to do so.  In Mass Effect 2 on one of the asari worlds in the Terminus Systems, Illium, there’s an opportunity for the player to eavesdrop on a bachelor party and the three guys watching this dancer all have the realisation that wait, why are the asari attractive to everyone when we all have wildly different standards of beauty?  And then they realise that they’re all perceiving the asari differently and their minds are completely blown for half a second.

For one brief, glimmering, beautiful instant, the idea that the asari aren’t all that they seem and the way that the other races view them is the product of this subtle manipulation on a biological level existed.  It was an idea that was promptly forgotten, but it existed.  If BioWare had kept at least the implication, I feel like they could have changed the way that the trope of the Green-Skinned Alien Babe is seen in pop culture.  It would have at least insinuated that maybe the asari wanted to be seen in that way because it allowed for them to operate behind the scenes and control the rest of the galaxy without causing a full scale war (since it’s easier to control people through love and adoration than through fear).  It would have been amazing if they had done that, or had at least followed through on it.  While the idea’s never officially denied, there’s not really enough evidence to make a firm case for it either.  Mordin says that the attraction to asari may be neurochemical, but it was so off-handed and not explored in any real way.

Still, it existed!  And that’s a start.
