As if people care about Halo these days. Everyone's cares went out the window after Halo 3.

Edited by adamj004: 11/17/2013 8:40:16 PMI think the halo universe is expanding way too much and way too fast with these books and written lore. I feel like I will no longer understand properly any of the story when future Halo games come out. Too many sequels and prequels and in between with all these stories going off in different directions, it feels very cluttered and messy.

They're gonna fit that entire story into 96 pages? Doesn't sound like it'll be good if you ask me.

I'm not going to read them. I don't really bother with comics. I'll look at some summaries, but one thing bothers me. Why does the Arbiter need protection? He's just as good, if not better than a Spartan. He rivals Chief. So should a Brute Chieftan. Having three alien species fighting along side each other would also seem cool and help build an alliance, but that's not the point. I hope Arbiter gets to kick some ass in this.

I browsed a bit through their site, and I found the Halo: Initiation HC. Is that going to include all 3 issues of Initiation? Cause I've been wanting to buy them, but if that's the case, I might wait until the HC is released.

Err is this before halo 4 or after?
-
Is that the didact in that pic?
-
If 343i -blam!- this up like they did with Initiation, I will never forgive them.
-
Is this the Brian Reed one?
-
I'm interested to see how Palmer is written in this. I mean, she hardly spoke in Campaign. So I wonder what a more talkative Schlerf-Palmer would be like

[quote]From Chris Schlerf, lead writer of Halo 4![/quote] i'm going to miss seeing that :(
-
Hmm...a sacrifice... Infinity? Palmer? Lasky himself?
-
Nice hope you read those comics so you can tel us all about it
-
When is this set canon wise? Before Halo 4, right?
-
Nice! I need to read all of the books, again. I'm currently re-reading First Strike.

Wait, Palmer, Arbiter? Kill that bitch Thel, do it, do it now!
