Halo graphic novel

Published by Marvel Comics in partnership with Bungie Studios. The Halo series began with the award-winning popular video game Halo: Combat Evolved, which spawned several books as well as video game sequels, and is focused on the story of future humanity fighting against a powerful collective of races called the Covenant. The Halo Graphic Novel is the series' first entry into the sequential art medium, and features aspects of the Halo universe which until then had not been discussed or seen in any medium.
The majority of the book is divided into four short stories by different writers and artists from the computer game and comic industries. Each story focuses on different aspects of the Halo universe, revealing stories that are tangential to the main plot of the game. Apart from the stories, the book also contains an extensive art gallery compiled of contributions from Bungie, Marvel and independent sources


In My Own Words


Halo has been one of the most popular video game franchises to date. Making its first appearance with Halo: Combat Evolved which was successful and critically acclaimed. It is considered the platforms "killer app". Due to such success, it spanned sequels and many other adaptations such as anime series, books, novels and a possible film in production. To me, Halo was one of my all time favourite games, starting with Halo: Combat evolved which I personally think was the best, mainly because it was the first original game of the franchise. It appeals to adults and younger audiences alike. It's bright, colourful, imaginative and very entertaining. This game was a main cause for me buying an xbox as it's only exclusive to xbox due to microsoft's hold on it. The franchise is still on going with a fourth installment on the way, the franchise is a one of the leading games in the gaming industry
