Halo Graphic Novel In the Works

A new chapter in the Halo story was announced this past week, and it's not going to be a videogame this time. Marvel comics will be working with Bungie studios on a Halo graphic novel. The tome will include four short stories and a bevy of art from concept artists. Joystiq has overall impressions and some artwork, while Gamespot has details on the deal with Marvel. From the Gamespot article: "Marvel has said they will feature signature characters and weapons and be set against a backdrop involving the alien races of the Covenant and the Flood. Perhaps more interesting to comic fans is the roster of talent secured to put words and images on the page. Beyond renowned French comics artist Moebius, the Halo graphic novel will also feature the talents of Phil Hale, Ed Lee, Tsutomo Nihei, Jay Faerber, Andrew Robinson, Simon Bisley, and Lee Hammock."

    So the second issue will finish halfway through without resolving anything?

    Could have sworn it said "holo-novel" and was very confused...

    Man, this project would be too easy. You'd be able to just repeat the same pages several times over each chapter until the characters move onto a different terrain type.

    Yet somehow the terminator series was a success and Arnold is considered an actor go figure. Just becuase the main charcter is devoid of life does not mean that the story is boring, you know that little thing called plot. Won't be Hemmingway, but it could be entertaining
