"Foundation" #7 follows everyone's favorite psychopath from
Mass Effect 2, Jack, known by Cerberus as Subject Zero. Jack is a character who I wasn't crazy about in
Mass Effect 2, but whose evolution I enjoyed in
Mass Effect 3. The mission from
Mass Effect 2 to break her out of prison has always been one of my favorites. There's nothing like shooting through an army of escaped prisoners and Blue Suns. But back to the comic!
This issue deals with Jack and her desire to derail any Cerberus testing facilities.. As part of her loyalty mission in
Mass Effect 2 you visit a similar facility on Pragia and help her destroy it. From that mission you learn of the torture and brutal experiments that helped shape her into one of the most powerful biotics in the galaxy. "Foundation" #7 revisits Jack as she tears her way through another unnamed Cerberus facility and highlights the activities of the two stars of this comic book series, Rasa and Kai Leng.

| Jack is on a mission in this issue. |
As Jack is tearing her way through the facility Rasa and Leng are sent by the Illusive Man to stop her. There are also several other parties involved--namely the Blue Suns and a Krogan bounty hunter (not Wrex--although that would have made for an interesting addition to this story). You also get to see Jack tangle with Rasa and Kai Leng. It doesn't work out well for them. There's a suggestion of her softer side as she tries to help other students from the test facility escape--some of them follow her lead and she takes risks to rescue them, but others opt to stay behind in the not-so-loving care of Cerberus. Things don't turn out so well for Jack in the end and her escape is eventually foiled--hence her imprisonment as depicted in
Mass Effect 2. This issue is packed with lots of biotic destruction and if you're a fan of Jack you'll enjoy the artistic interpretation of her abilities.
