Halo: Uprising


Halo. The twenty-first century Star Wars. By now, most of the world has heard of the Master chief and his seemingly never-ending battle against the covenant. What started out as a simple first-person sci-fi shooter for the Xbox has now turned into a successful line of novels, a sequel to the original game (Halo 2), a third game currently in post-production, a possible live-action film in the future, and of course, comic books.

On July 25th, Marvel Comics will be releasing the first issue of a four part series. The series will be used to bridge the gaps between the 2nd game and the third. All the expectations of the Halo universe should be expected with the Master Chief leading the way. The covers that have been released show the Chief with some very interesting toys. (Check out the photo to the left, that little numbers called the Brute Hammer, and I hope its in Halo 3.)

What's really surprising about this series is the creators. Brian Bendis (Writer) and Alex Maleev (Artist) are teaming up again to write this Halo story. Together, Bendis and Maleev are probably the best duo in comics today. Their best works so far have been with Daredevil and Civil War: The Confession, both have received many accolades and awards in the comic world.
