Mass Effect digital comics free today only

Only problem is that the website from which to download them is inaccessible.

The four released Mass Effect digital comics have been made available as free downloads for today only, Dark Horse has announced.

Redemption builds up to the events of Mass Effect 2, whilst Evolution details the history of the Cerberus organisation and the origins of the Illusive Man.

The one day promotion also includes a seven-page preview of the upcoming Invasion series, which ties into Mass Effect 3.

It's a great offer for Mass Effect fans yet to read the comics, but there's one snag - pretty much no one has been able to access the Dark Horse website since the offer went live.

"We apologise for all the issues people are encountering with getting the Mass Effect comics from digital.darkhorse.com. We have had overwhelming response to our giveaway, and it is causing some extreme lag in accessing the site, as well as the comics," commented Dark Horse. "If you are having issues getting through, please keep trying and have patience."

This is the link you want when it eventually starts working again. We've also tried obtaining the comics from the Dark Horse store via its iPhone/iPod app, but server issues are preventing this from working too.
