The word on the street is that Mass Effect 2 kicks off on a mysterious note with Commander Shepard gone missing. But there’s no need to worry about the odd plot thread -- there’s a comic book to explain it. As previously announced, Dark Horse Comics and Mac Walters are getting together to make a visual baby that should explain what the galaxy’s protagonist is up to post-missing status. Due out in early January, the first six pages of this comic, dubbed Mass Effect: Redemption, are available right now via Comic Book Resources.
The pages star Dr. Liara T’sonia, a person who apparently has some pressing business to take care of and doesn’t mind whipping out the biotics to get it done. Poor, poor evil aliens.
Reading this makes us really want ME2 in our hands, but that’s not going to happen for a good bit (written gloomily). The follow-up RPG is slated for a 2010 release, meaning we'll be talking about the periphery stuff for at least a few more months.

Uh ever consider that race says speech direction in Mass Effect 1? (shit-eating grin)
@Palidi
Samez if she's in ME2 at all. I got the feeling that somewhere around the games climax (probably after the hawt human on alien sex) she did seem a bit more confident. It came a bit later than I wanted it to but hey. Anything's better than that raging pussy Kaidan. *diss high five!*

Well, according to the Wiki, characters will return in ME2 assuming they didn't die in ME1.
"Hudson stated in Game Informer magazine that characters from the previous game will come back, provided that they were not killed. So far Tali'Zorah nar Rayya[18], Liara T'Soni, Jeff "Joker" Moreau, Conrad Verner, Nassana Dantius and Urdnot Wrex have all been confirmed to be making a reappearance."-Mass Effect 2 Wiki
It's just a matter of how big their roles are as I'm pretty sure it's been said that not all of them will not be party members again.
Here's hoping that the Quarian party member in the trailers so far is Tali, and that Liara is also a party member too.
