Posted by Benjamin Webb on Jun 18, 2012 I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favourite interview on the Citadel. I jest, but how could I resist throwing such a recognisable line into an article about an interview with Commander Shepard (Fem- Shep) herself, Jennifer Hale. At Supanova this weekend (2012), us here at Capsule Computers were given the opportunity to sit down and talk to Jennifer about her role as...

Posted by Jessica Barabas-Bui on Jun 17, 2012 Whoever thinks comics is a male game is sorely mistaken, and even those who think comics are an American industry are totally wrong.
