Shouldn't this bridge the gap for ME2 rather than remind me how far away it is.

Anyway, this comic entices me almost enough to pick it up. It all depends how desperate I am for Mass Effect story when it comes out.

...stupid.
But I digress, I don't read enough Orson Scott Card to know his stances and all that, so I'm just going to enjoy the comics for what they are.
...if I still had the money to buy comics. Damn this recession!

You can enjoy the work of a person without sharing their beliefs. When you buy Orson Scott Card's stuff, you aren't promoting intolerance and hatred, you are promoting good science fiction.

You do know that books, movies, music and such aren't just the work of one person, right? It's kinda a team effort.
If one of OSC's books does have a very anti-gay message, then sure - don't buy it. In that case, it is the content of the book that you are disagreeing with, not the beliefs of the author. If you are not buying it purely because you disagree with the author's beliefs, how is that any different from the people who avoid watching The Daily Show because Jon Stewart is Jewish?
All I'm saying is, even after Mel Gibson showed his true colors, Mad Max is still one of my favorite movies. There's no reason that should change just because the main actor is socially backwards - these forms of media should be enjoyed or not enjoyed without you having to know who the author is.

Whilst I find any form of discrimination pretty abhorrent, somebody refusing to watch the Daily Show due to a Jewish host is not in any way offensive, freedom of choice/thought is open to all. Somebody standing in the street/writing an article telling ME to not watch it because the host is Jewish is absolutely unacceptable.
It's a difficult one, I totally see where you're coming from, and I'm just trying to imagine if it was a different topic it would matter to different people. Say if the most critically acclaimed game came out tomorrow, and the profits went towards the KKK or something. It's not always easy to separate the work from the person, certainly not for everybody.

Expect the Dragon Age comics to be about a supernatural kid doing supernatural things in supernatural ways.

It's nice to see some actual talent being announced for these books, so with any luck we might see some good stuff for fans of the respective series.

[greensboro.rhinotimes.com] - the local wingnut newspaper (well, thats being generous to call them a newspaper, but that is what they call themselves), which frequently runs columns from "Uncle Orson". Judge for yourselves on why so many of us despise the man personally, and why it has little do do (either way) with his more famous fictional work.

All that being said, they do a great job covering local issues and keeping the Greensboro government accountable when it tries to act like they're above the law. Now that I've moved out into another city, I miss the free weekly columns that keep me informed on the local issues.
As far as "Uncle Orson", his articles are always well written and an easy read. He only covers things like movies, food, music, and local plays. It is, essentially, a culture article that doesn't touch on the political. You can disagree with his opinion, but saying you despise him from his articles in the Rhino Times is near the peak of absurdity.

Also there is the whole "all my stories are about children being victimized" thing...yeah OSC is just creepy, sorry if the Rhino Times alone doesn't seem evidentiary enough for you :P

This got posted in a thread yesterday, but now it is the first thing I thought of when I saw the chick in this comic.
That and it seems doubly appropriate since they are revealing this at PAX.
