Halo: Uprising Hardcover Collection Coming Soon

Master Chief

If you love the extended Halo universe, then I highly recommend giving the Halo: Uprising comics a try. You’d think that a comic based on a video might be phoned in, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Halo: Uprising started back in August 2007, and was met with critical and fan praise. It sold out within 24 hours, and will live on as one of the better stories told in the Halo extended universe. It took a year and a half for the story to wrap up, but it was worth it.

 

The events of Halo: Uprising take place between Halo 2 and 3; it’s a bridging story that setup the finale of the video game trilogy.

Due to the success of the story, Marvel will be releasing the entire collection in hardcover. It’s slated to release in June, and will cost $24.95.

Mythic Map Pack and Recon Armor

Master Chief

I’ve always wondered how many Halo fans anxiously search the internet for ‘Recon Armor’. I’d love to view those Google stats. I’d almost gurantee that there’s someone who checks every single day to find any updates on how, and where to grab that ever elusive armor set.

If you happen to be one of those people, and you’re reading this then hopefully you participted in last weekend’s contest.

The contest was quite simple. All you had to do was take three screenshots of you playing in a matchmaking contest using the Mythic Map Pack. They could have been anything. Then upload your screens to File Share. If you were one of the lucky ones, then you received your recon armor.

I participated in the event myself, unfortunately I wasn’t selected…*tear*. I guess my epic screens of me slaughtering others wasn’t quite good enough. Did anyone else participate?
