Dark Horse and 343 Industries Explore the Origins of Atriox and the Banished

Posted on by

Dark Horse and 343 Industries are set to release a new anthology series based on Halo Wars 2. Halo Wars 2, 343 Industries’ real-time strategy video game, introduces a new ruthless villain, Atriox. This five-chapter anthology collects stories by acclaimed comics creators Cullen Bunn, Jody Houser, John Jackson Miller, Alex Irvine, Claire Roe, Josan Gonzalez, Jonathan Wayshak, and Tristan Jones.

The first issue of Halo: Rise of Atriox finds Atriox, who is still a member of the massive alien collective known as the Covenant, leading his Brute brethren into an all-out assault on a UNSC outpost. Leader and creator of the Banished, Atriox is a fearsome warrior who rose to power by his charismatic personality and talent for shrewd strategic planning honed during his time serving as a member of the Covenant. Cullen Bunn composes this first issue, Claire Roe provides her gorgeous artistic skills to the Halo universe, Jeremy Colwell makes the illustrations pop with his gritty colors, and topping it all off is a breathtaking cover by Aleksi Briclot.

The first issue of Halo: Rise of Atriox goes on sale August 2, 2017.

GrayHaven Comics: Phase Two Announced

Posted on by

For nearly three years The Gathering anthology has afforded nearly 200 comic creators the opportunity to have their work published for the first time. GrayHaven Comics has been dedicated to giving aspiring creators their big break and through fourteen issues of The Gathering have done just that. Along with newcomers to publishing, The Gathering has also featured the works of pros like Sterling Gates, John Jackson Miller, Mike Lapinski, Brent Peeples, Gail Simone and Len Wallace with many more to come.

Two and a half years. Fourteen issues. And 200 creators getting a chance to have their work published for the first time alongside some of the best pros in the business. So what’s next for the upstart publisher?

GrayHaven Comics has begun to tease their “Phase Two.” Beginning with this week’s launch of the mini series Mothers and Sons, GrayHaven Comics will be aggressively expanding their publishing line. New one shots, mini series and ongoings will begin to roll out over the next few months through New York Comic Con and into 2013. Works will include print collections/continuations of popular webcomics, self contained mini series, an adaptation of a novel, an ongoing and a project featuring a major pro talent novelist/comic writer. With more of GrayHaven’s newcomers becoming seasoned vets and more pro talent looking at GHC as a viable alternative for their publishing needs, 2013 is just the beginning.

Bounty hunters aren’t exactly known for their enduring, close friendships but even a man like Boba Fett has family… and now a Blood Tie demands blood.”  -Tom Taylor
