Foundations: Hindsight

Holy crap. Okay, so I thought I had this comic, right? I did not. Comixology wouldn't let me buy a copy on my iPad, because apparently if you have an iPad 1 then your money's no good. I called local comic shops, and they didn't have it. Some of them didn't pick up the phone even, so that was awesome. I tried so many ways to buy this stupid thing. You know how I had to wind up getting it?

We don't have to discuss how I wound up getting it.

Mass Effect Foundation #13 is the last comic in the Foundation series, released July 23rd, 2014. It has Kai Leng on the cover, and then also nowhere else.

It starts out with Brooks (Rasa, really) remembering being a little girl and getting her head shaven to look like a little boy before we cut to this idyllic scene in a laboratory:

Turns out they don't need the clone, see, so it's murderin' time.

Oh shit! If only there were a Cerberus higher up that could help us!

I can think of one.

"Wow Bean, that's a funny joke!" No, see, that actually happens in the comics, Brooks hacks the station and puts some Blasto on.

Anyway, Brooks makes off with the clone. The art is really unclear, so I guess she's all like:

Thankfully, Miranda's on the case.

They fight for pages, probably. Here's the thing: the art is super unclear as to what's going on. You're getting more out of MSPixel right now. They beat each other up inside the station, and then outside the station again I guess?

To make it better, Miranda's wearing a black Cerberus uniform with white accents, and Rasa's got on a white Cerberus uniform with black accents, and when they're lit, you're not going to tell them apart. Also, Rasa is drawn with considerably lighter skin in the comic books because comic books are bad. Overall, it's usually pretty hard to tell who you're even looking at.

It's implied somehow that Kai Leng and Rasa are working on this together, but why? Kai Leng is with The Illusive Man. Is Brother TIM just jacking the clone from himself?!

Also that one little sad LOKI mech wastes, like, everybody.

Rasa eventually chucks Clone Shep in a shuttle and nopes out of ... you know, I'm assuming it's Lazarus Station because Miranda's around, but I don't have hard proof of that.

Shit, we'd better go tell Brother TIM.

... okay, so, hindsight is 20 20 and all, but ...

Is anyone else amazed that he's just all Let It Go on this? Like, he spent money on that clone. Shepard isn't alive yet, she might need those organs. Also, oh, I don't know, A ROGUE AGENT HAS HIS CLONE AND SHIT!?

Cerberus is about the worst terrorist organization ever.
