Halo: Initiation - new comic from Dark Horse

Mickeroo

I don't know if it's a good or bad sign that Dark Horse have taken over from Marvel but anyway, there'll be a new series kicking off with Spartan Palmer's origin (the female spartan from the Halo 4 campaign)

Brian Reed, the comic writer who adapted the Halo: Fall of Reach novel into comic form in 2010 before joining 343 Industries to write the Halo 4 game, will write the books, with Marco Castiello (Star Wars: Purge) on art. Initiation is the origin story of Sarah Palmer, a character introduced in Halo 4. Although she appeared in the game as a commander of the Spartan forces, she was originally an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper; this series follows her career path.

Dark Horse do some good licensed stuff so this should be a good move. I read the Bendis penned Marvel series, can't remember the name of it so that says how good it was.

I think the only Dark Horse stuff I've read are Hellboy, some Sin City and a few of the Aliens Vs Predator. Enjoyed them all. I suppose the main advantage they have over marvel is they tend to make darker stuff, which I would like to see with Halo.
