GTAV on PC Delayed Again and More Mass Effect "Foundation" Comic Talk

I was sad to read that the release of Grand Theft Auto V on PC was delayed again.  The date which had been pushed back once already is now slated for sometime in April.  I'll have to save up my hit-and-runs for another month.  But back to the main event, reviewing the Mass Effect comic book series "Foundation."

At the end of "Foundation" #5 there is a bit of a cliff-hanger that involves the explosion of a ship and the possible demise of one of our heroes from the issue.  Miranda and Jacob are still stuck on some backworld, Batarian colony trying to locate the remains of Commander Shepard for Cerberus.  The issue starts with the explosion of their ship (after some Batarian gangsters planted a bomb on it preventing them from leaving).  A grimy street-urchin type of kid is one of the important players in both #5 and #6 and offers to guide Jacob through the streets in an effort to find Miranda who has been captured by thugs.

The kid takes Jacob to her home where her mother offers to let him stay.  Apparently this kid has some sort of powerful uncle and offers Jacob some new clothes and weapons from his stash.  Then they set out to find Miranda.  They end up at an abandoned warehouse and the thugs are preparing to kill Miranda.  Jacob intervenes in a fantastic fashion.

Jacob saves the day.

Once rescued they free some other captives from what appears to be some sort of slaver operation include the street kids aunt and cousins.  Miranda berates Jacob for agreeing to save the captives and not simply finishing the mission.  Jacob, in his general good-guy attitude, tells Miranda she's going to have to deal with it if they work together.  You also get a feeling that there's an attraction between Jacob and Miranda.  Their former relationship is mentioned in Mass Effect 2 and this seems to be the point of it's origin.

Unlike some of the previous issues in "Foundation," I enjoyed the story in #6.  It was nice to see the Miranda/Jacob relationship and how it started.  It gave a better feel than what Mass Effect 2 did in its basic explanations of their beginnings.

Miranda....being Miranda.
