Edited by Nemo: 5/29/2014 9:51:23 PMLooking at [i]Escalation[/i], I'm a little pissed now that they did a (admittedly poorly-executed) comic series instead of Spartan Ops Season 2.

Good story, but still a shitty comic book I mean seriously, they might as well just published this as a book instead, considering the shocking quality of the artwork (And the poor research the artist has done. Gotta love banshee's flying with the canopy open and a shadow suddenly being capable of flight)
-
Why do I bother trying to redeem Halo for myself, this is such a shit comic series. The way Gajat died was just lazy and fooking terrible.
-
Still working on this summary, Admirals?
-
So... none of them were in the ship? How did they abandon? Did they forcibly awake from cryo-sleep? MIAO! TOO MANY QUESTIONS LEFT FOR ME!!!!
-
I hope John reunites with Red Team. That'd be cool.
-
Waiting on this summary, took me ages to find this thread haha HURRY UP FAGMIRALS
-
Good thing the summary is a WIP still :P I'm gonna assume you've just been busy. You normally get the summaries out a lot quicker than this.
-
Is there a way I can read all these to free?
-
Finally some more about the SoF!
-
Am I the only one tired of seeing this expression in Escalation? I know all the characters have pearly whites, but does the artist really need to show them off so much?
-
So would the crew still be alive or dead?
-
>mfw everyone is freaking out over the ending >mfw i feel nothing
-
Just read it. Interesting how this is the first issue where the cover art doesn't directly relate to something inside. I'm wondering if that is the SoF'a crew evacuating?
-
Oh man... It has booster frames?
-
I'm wondering what would happen to the crew. Would extended duration of cryo-sleep (As in, nearly 30 years) have an effect on the occupant's body? Had there been a recorded transition of this length before?
-
I wish someone else did the artwork within the comics. Even I could have done a better job.
-
The flood should kill the humans with a key mind.
-
The thing has returned.oh wait its just the flood.
-
So, the crew abandoned the SoF. Do we know where it is now? Do we know where the crew is now? And how do we know this information?
-
Just finished reading Issue #6, that could not have gone any differently than I had predicted. That was just a series of OMG moments.
-
Holy shit. I swear Lord Hood was going to die. Then we got some hints about Midnight Station. And then the Flood has infested the Spirit of Fire...
-
Abandon ship to land on some random planet you know nothing about because a couple infection forms snuck on board the SoF? Wat?
-
What the shit happened with the Spirit of Fire and the Flood?
-
[quote]-Fate of the Spirit of Fire ---Crew abandoned ship ---Infested with Flood ---Still drifting through space[/quote] Seems like a poor reason to bring back the ship.
