Description
The 48th episode of the Marauder Shields comic, originally published on the Koobismo.com website, here: [link]In this one… Garrus, Liara and Tali stand before a decision, after learning of Shepard’s fate in the last episode of their arc.
I wrote Ashley’s poem specifically for this episode – you can find its text below:
“TOGETHER, INTO THE ABYSS
I cast my arm into the abyss that steals my brother away.
Frail lifeline of meat and bone,
the one I have to give.
Did you know?
From all the animals only we fear that we’ll die alone.
The ocean passed its judgment before I came by the shore.
But I don’t know your name,
and don’t care for your sins.
So I hold on.
The water tastes salty, as it pours into our lungs.
Our hands are weak,
But in this moment
amongst the storm
nothing can ever be as strong.”

Three Banshees and a horde of husks... In a confined room... I would not like that o.e

Actually, its meant to be outside of the bank, the same door opening that were closed after they entered the building in "Enough Dead Heroes".
Sorry if the last picture is a bit misleading - episode 49 (already published) should clear it up!

For some reason, that first panel looks like it could be Shepard recording her for some kind of vid.

Ha. That's actually a fun idea. Shep could probably be too busy for home video-making, but I can definitely see what you mean now that you've said it.

Hahaha, maybe a different crew member then? But yeah, that'd be a fun idea.

This sort of thing is going to keep Mass Effect fans pouring together in unity of our love for the games and the EU. Kudos to you for creating an unparalleled series of comic strips

legions of Husks and Banshees vs Tali, Garrus, and Liara.... That's just unfair.
To the Reapers.

Supposedly there's also a few cannibals and possibly brutes out there, they're just horrible to do right, so I usually try to limit their exposure.

Nice!
Good to see Tali, Liara, and Garrus once again. And the only thing standing between them and Shepard is an army of husks. Almost there!

When I saw the banshees, the first thing that came to mind was "Wow, why didn't they just teleport through the door, like in multiplayer?" Then I realized that the real life doesn't have glitches.

Koobs, I'd like to say thanks for always linking a theme for every episode, the comic combined with the music always gives me chills and often other emotional responses. You're giving our friends the respect they deserve, I think.
