It's nice to get some supplemental stories from outside of the games. Homeworlds was easily my favorite out of this set.

These comics fill in some of the blanks from in-between games and I always like that sort of thing. However, some of the stories are better than others, and if I didn't like the short stories at the end of this omibus so much, I would've probably given this three stars or less for weird art and kind of weird storytelling choices and composition. All in all I enjoyed the knowledge gained from reading the whole thing, but I mostly liked the short stories.

3,5 stars. Read this mostly because of ME: Andromeda came out this week to refresh some of my memories from the original ME gameseries. Most of the comics in this omnibus were OK, though some of them had a bit of a meh-type story and also some had a bit weird artwork as well. Liked most of the individual character comics, though Tali one wasn't that great. As for the longer stories, well, both of them were a bit meh, but I liked Aria one a bit more than the Illusive Man one.

Overall though, a good collection, even with some flaws in it. Can only be recommended to the fans of the game series, as I think non-fans might not get all the references to the games and such. 3,5 stars rounded down to 3 stars.
