Excuse me while a squeeeeeeeeal myself to death over baby/teen-Garrus. I can't write a review. I'm such a fangirl that it wouldn't be helpful in the least.

I did not expect much going into a short comic about a video game, but wow! I was proved very, very wrong.
Recommended for fans of the Mass Effect franchise, but if you haven't played any of the original trilogy, you're going to be very confused, as it takes place primarily in between Mass Effect 1 and 2.
Anyway, wow! I picked this one up because it's about my favorite character, Garrus, but now I'm feeling like I should read the others as well. This details his childhood, what his family was like, what he was like, his relationships with his mother and father, and what he does after the crew is disbanded at the beginning of Mass Effect 2, leading right into his recruitment mission in the same game.
Everything was done very well, I found it to be incredibly satisfying for such a short comic. I especially enjoyed the last call Garrus has with his dad, it really tugged at my heart strings. And then the very end is a cherry on top, with an absolute perfect conclusion that leads directly into his recruitment mission. It's just incredible, I love it, and I've already read it a few times over, and forced all of my Mass Effect-loving friends to read it as well!
Anyway, if you're a fan of Mass Effect, read it! If you're not, I'm sad to say you probably shouldn't. It's still a great story, but it's not going to mean much to you without having played any of the games. But that just means you should go play them, so that you can enjoy a masterpiece of a game and then read this great comic!

*I love the game, so I've been trying to read all the graphic novels so I can get background on the world.*
Well, this is about Garrus, so... I am a little bit biased on my rating for this.
I enjoyed seeing the insight onto Garrus's past, especially his relationship with his father, and seeing a little bit about his mother. This was more so about his rise to the title 'Archangel' and how he got to where we meet him in Mass Effect 2, and what happened between his squad and Sidonis, and the sad reaction to his team's destruction.
This really just vindicates my support in letting Garrus get rid of Sidonis because his sucks lol.

This was the best of the Homeworlds comics since I felt like it actually showed us a bit more into the characters lives outside of Shep's narrative. Being able to see how Garrus interacts with his dad (and his mom...for a second at least) was interesting although I wish there was more. I also enjoyed the art in this one more than the others as well.

Garrus is absolutely my favorite character in all of Mass Effect. I stumbled upon this comic, which shows the lead up to recruiting Garrus in Mass Effect 2.
Honestly, it has made me love Garrus even more, to see this insight into him that you don't get in the games.

This is a review for the Kindle version.
I was hoping for a bit more on Garrus pre-ME2, particularly concerning the dynamics of his team as Archangel. There was nothing new, the text is lifted word-for-word from his dialogue in-game. The unique content involves some scenes with his father, the by-the-book hard*** he describes in Mass Effect; also a brief scene with his mother. Way too short, way too shallow. I could've learned what I needed to know from a Wikia article.
The art seemed nice, but I say this as someone who doesn't read comics much. Also my Kindle is old, so it was black-and-white for me.
