Book Reviews of Halo: Uprising
Book Review: Very Good Read
Summary: 5 Stars
The point of these Halo graphic novels is to illustrate the point that the series isn't simply about shooting aliens; there's a greater underlying purpose to your actions as Master Chief when you play the XBox games: saving humanity. You may be just a single person when you pick up that controller but you're not the only person in this war. Many civilians are caught in the crossfire.
To me, this seemed like a longer, yet somewhat less emotional, version of "Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa" from the first Halo Graphic Novel. I enjoyed the longer read but still wished it was double its actual length. The fact that it's less emotional than "Second Sunrise" isn't saying too much because "Second Sunrise" was very, very good and this is worth reading, too.
Finally, the art in this is phenomenal. While the main female character's choice of clothing may make you raise an eyebrow, remember the time period (2054). I'm most likely going to use this as a guide when I decide to draw things from the Halo universe myself.

This must-read novel reveals how the Master Chief, while onboard a hostile ship headed towards Earth, battles against Covenant forces! Interwined with Master Chief's interstellar one man war is the saga of a great American city's rebellion and downfall, two disparate lives' collision and shared fate, and the Covenant's hunt for an ancient relic of untold power and value. With hope dwindling and the fate of humanity hanging by a thread, is there any chance for a future?
