▲''[[Marauder Shields]]'' is a ''[[Mass Effect]]'' brief [[Webcomic of the Game|webcomic]] hosted on [[Deviant ART]] by user [http://koobismo.deviantart.com/gallery/ koobismo] starring and centered on the eponymous "[[Marauder Shields]]" a [[Memetic Mutation|Memetic]] and [[Fanon|Fanonical]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] from ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' that literally originated as "a random [[Mook|marauder]]<ref>Turian Husk</ref> that appears apparently from thin air during the climax of ''[[Mass Effect 3]].''

▲The comics follow Shields and preexisting [[Mass Effect (Franchise)/Characters|Mass Effect Characters]] during the final hours of the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' trilogy, as the final battle against the [[Big Bad|Reapers]] rages across Earth and the Solar System. While the comics themselves are rather episodic, and focus on different characters every so often, there is a loose story arc present throughout the series, with every character contributing, knowingly or otherwise, to Shields's quest to save Commander Shepard from the [[Base Breaker|Controversial]] [[Ending Aversion|Endings]] of ''[[Mass Effect 3]]''.
▲The series can be found on [http://koobismo.deviantart.com/gallery/ koobismo's deviant art gallery], and has updated semiregularly since it began.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The comic as a whole alternates between this and a [[Take That|more venomous critique]] of ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'''s endings. Slogans supporting the controversial "Retake Mass Effect (3) movement" appear at the bottom of every episode of the webcomic, For Better or Worse.
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Either Shepard (Marauder has the utmost respect for Shepard and wants to save him, but Shepard doesn't know this) or Marauder (he's trying to save Shepard from the endings the only way he can), depending on which angle you want to view the series from.
* [[The Reveal]]: In the 6th episode it is revealed that {{spoiler|Marauder Shields is in fact Nihlus, the turian spectre from ''[[
* [[Colonel Badass]]: definitely the now mutilated Commander Bailey.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Bailey's eye.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Watching Troy Burn]]: couple of panels show the burning London with giant Reapers circling above it.
* [[The Main Characters Do Everything]]: averted to an epic scale. The main characters are unavailable, so their crew members have to step up to the plate and save Earth.
Line 23:
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Jack's students, incinerated just in front of her, with their white bones barely visible in the fire.}}
* [[True Companions]]: all of Normandy's crew and the Normandy (EDI) herself. No one abandons Shepard, they all fight for him/her and for each other.
* [[Shout
