The Halo comic book license is moving from Marvel to Dark Horse this August 14, with the release of the first issue of a new miniseries titled Halo: Initiation. The mini will be written by longtime comic book writer, Halo: Fall of Reach novelist and Halo 4 video game scribe Brian Reed, with art by Marco Castiello of Secret Invasion: Front Line and Star Wars: Purge.
Initiation is set to detail the origin of Halo 4 Spartan Ops protagonist Sarah Palmer and her rise from Orbital Drop Shock Trooper to a Spartan Commander.
The new series follows Marvel’s Halo Graphic Novel short story collection in 2006, the four-issue Halo: Uprising mini in 2007, the five-issue Halo: Helljumper in 2009, the four-issue Halo: Fall of Reach – Boot Camp in 2010, four issues of Halo: Fall of Reach – Covenant in 2011, and the four-issue Halo: Fall of Reach – Invasion mini in 2012.
