Mirror's Edge: Exordium

This beautiful comics series serves as a prequel to the events in Mirror's Edge Catalyst, and in order to follow up with all of the events in the game it is recommended to have a look at it. There is no doubt that for all of the runners out there Mirror's Edge Exordium is a thrill to read through!

I enjoyed the backstory to game I fell in love with all those years ago. Mirror's Edge fans should give this a try.

Exordium is the story of how Faith ended up in juvie, where she is at the start of the 2016 game. The story is good, nothing amazing, and it does help expand on the world and the characters, including a few not in the game itself. There are a few sub-arcs beside the main one. Different chapters were drawn by different artists so the art style is subtly different in each one. A comic is not the best format for Mirror's Edge, and the static shots of the city work better than the attempts at portraying motion and parkour. Having said that, the rapid series of images used for parkour sections do work very well, and you never get lost trying to figure out what is happening. It's 148 pages, though pages aren't numbered until the start of chapter 3 (p79) for some reason. There are also a handful of pages of sketches and story boards, which is a nice addition. The book is paperback and came loose in a box with no packaging apart from the tissue paper provided by Amazon themselves, so it could be damaged in transit. Mine was basically in perfect condition.

Excellent comic, giving the full story line to the Mirror's Edge: Catalyst game. Useful if you want to know the full story.

Excellent. My son loved it!

A very well written, nicely drawn comic, acting as a prelude to the events of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Pro tip: Read while simultaneously listening to the excellent OST of ME: Catalyst. It will increase the immersion. Only negative: Some very few underwhelming drawings of protagonist Faith appear around the 3/4 mark of the story but it’s not too bad.

Lo compré después de jugar a Mirror's Edge Catalyst para conocer la historia que antecede al juego (qué relación tiene Faith con Dogen y/o Noah? por qué terminó Faith en prisión?). Tiene calidad y es entretenido, los dibujos transmiten muy bien el dinamismo de las escenas.

Amazing comic if you are a fan of the new game

Good comic book by DICE, EA. Not as pretty as the "Game" itself, however if you are a fan of the series, then I would definitely suggest to go for it. If you wanna know more about Faith's origin and are interested to know her story, then go for it. This particular one is 6-in-one issue. The artwork is pretty good. The story-line is enticing. Faith's new look is amazing! Definitely buy it if you wanna know the story as the game starts from where the book ends...:)

Étant une très grande fan de la licence Mirror's Edge, j'ai lu Exordium avant de jouer à Catalyst via des scans sur Internet. Collection oblige, je le voulais en format papier. J'en fais une traduction française. Je recommande vivement !
