What can I say? Good for any Halo fan who likes a good comic.Book Review: Good But Not Grand
Summary: 4 Stars
Greetings,
I have only dabbled in the Halo games because I am terrible with modern first person shooters. I decided to buy the Halo graphic novel because I am a fan of comic books and I wanted to know more about the Halo universe.
This book contains four short stories. It also has a brief gallary of artwork.
The stories are OK, but only OK. Not bad. Not great either.
The artwork ranges from delightfully detailed to confusingly jumbled. Several times, I had to stare at a page for several seconds to understand what was happening in the pictures.
A positive note is the fact that people who are unfamiliar with the Halo game stories can read this book. If you are a fan science fiction on a basic level, you should be able to follow the stories. Plus, there are letters from the creators of the stories before or after the narratives.
To be honest, reading the messages from the creators was more entertaining than the comic stories. Think of it like watching a DVD in which the extras are more entertaining than the feature film.
I would have prefered that the Halo graphic novel feature ONE story, like "The Dark Night Returns." This is supposed to be a novel, after all.
The best story is the tale about a reporter and an attack on Earth. If that story had been developed into a fun saga, the Halo graphic novel would have been truly special.
The Halo graphic novel is nice. Is it worth your money?
If you are a diehard Halo fan, buy this book.
If you are not, find a diehard fan and borrow his book.
Book Review: great book marvel does it again
Summary: 4 Stars
i have always loved marvels comics i grew reading spiderman the hulk fantastic four
x-men etc. and i loved Halo as well one of the greatest video game experiences of all time and when i heard that a Halo comic book was coming out and it was bieng developed by marvel i was very excited, teh book is a little short but it's all 115 pages of great art and storytelling the book contains four short stories one about the covenany discovering the flood on Halo another about the testing the masterchiefs Mark VI armour one about Seargent Johnson's escape from Delta Halo
and the last one is about a photographer that lived in New Mombasa before the Covenant attacked the city the last 15 pages of the book are a wonderful and well put together art gallery this book although short is a great comic book if you love Halo and you love comic books than you ought to pick this up
Book Review: Great book. Good reveals. Sweet storytelling
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't believe the naysayers. If you enjoy Halo and you have an open mind towards graphic novel storytelling then you will enjoy this book. The guys below obviously have no taste in art nor any taste in storytelling---how can Moebius, Nihei, Bisley, etc. have contibuted terrible art? They are all sought after graphic novel artists. The reviews below seem more reflective of wanting to see this book do badly than actually have real criticisms beyond "this is bad, that is bad, etc." My fave stories in this book was Nihei's and Moebius's. Really strong art and moving story lines. Don't buy the hype just buy the book and enjoy the read. Let the haters hate. Halo will always reign supreme.
