Dark Horse is becoming “the” place for comic books based on video games. At C2E2, Dark Horse announced a new comic series based on Halo. Halo: Initiation, launches in August! This exciting new miniseries will be written by Halo 4 writer and comics veteran Brian Reed, with art by Marco Castiello!

Before she was a supersoldier defending humanity as part of the Spartan-IV program, Sarah Palmer was an ODST—Orbital Drop Shock Trooper—carrying out the most dangerous missions behind enemy lines! See how she became the first Spartan-IV commander in this must-read series for fans of Halo 4 and the Halo franchise!

This is a bit of a coup as we last saw the Halo comic tie-ins being published by Marvel. A nice pick-up from the indie publisher.

Look for Halo: Initiation #1 on sale in comic shops everywhere on August 14!
