Without the WC I too felt jilted, merely due to lack of explanation. With it, I do quite like them; everything gets explained. Leviathan also helps. That said, the comics, the actual extended universe, lend credence to the idea of Nihlus. Spoilers and such, but turian husks indeed existed as early as First Contact, in a form. Involves TIM, and Saren. Who did manage to possibly hold it together at the end, at least 5 years after indoctrination began. That said, we was not fully converted. So whilst the MS comic may not hold true perfectly to established lore, it can be shoehorned if you try. The crucible as a trap still confuses me though.
