Think the Flood are just space zombies? This story will change your mind. "Infinite Succor" does far more than give Half-Jaw a name and a back story It gives information about the Flood that is not in evidence in either of the first two games. "Infinite Succor" explains why Half-Jaw knows the Flood and how he lost his two left mandibles. He backs the play of the Arbiter in Halo 2. Written by Lee Hammock, with art by Simon Bisley, "The Last Voyage" is a pre-Halo 2 tale about the Spec-Ops Commander referred to by most fans as Half-Jaw. It's also the story that is certain to have Halo fans buzzing all the way till the release of Halo 3 in 2007. The first tale, "The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor" is the best of the collection and by far the longest at 48 pages. Among those telling tales are Simon Bisley, Jay Faerber, manga superstar Tsutomu Nihei and French comics legend Jean "Moebius" Giraud. Though each keeps true to the environments and characters from both Halo games, they also resonate the comic-book styles of the story crafters. Instead, Bungie got hold of some incredible talent to produce four stories that are unique in tone, theme and visual style. This could easily have been a cheap adaptation with half-rate writers and artists. Not only are all four stories well-crafted comic-book tales, but actually reveal some interesting details about the Halo universe.įor Bungie, the HGN was clearly a work of joy, rather than a marketing gimmick. Even though Master Chief makes just a cameo appearance, these tales should trill fans of Halo. Conceived and produced by Bungie Studios and published by Marvel Comics, The Halo Graphic Novel features four stories focusing primarily on side characters from the first two games. Now it's time for others in the Halo universe to shine as Chief steps out of the spotlight for Halo's first foray into comics. We've seen the Spartan in fine form in two stellar Xbox titles, Halo and Halo 2.
