Following paragraph via Darkhorse website.
In the year 2517, humanity’s last hope is with Dr. Catherine Halsey, the SPARTAN-II program, and one six-year-old boy: John-117. Kidnapped and ruthlessly trained, John endures and rises as the leader of the Spartans: he becomes the Master Chief! These legendary heroes are entrusted with stopping the Covenant at all costs…but will their harrowing biological augmentation and unparalleled MJOLNIR armor be enough to rise to victory?
HFFL: If you want to get more of the story than was in the Fall of Reach cartoon provided with your purchase of Halo 5, this is the way to do it!
It will set you back $24.99. I suggest picking it up, especially if you don’t already have the comic book version of this. It’s sure to be a collector’s item in the future.

Missed the hardcover compilation. Definitely picking this up.
As for The Fall of Reach animated series, I found it quite disappointing.
As an origin story it was good. However, the title refers to something entirely different and was definitely misleading.
I really enjoyed this comic series. I thought it was a pretty good interpretation of the novel and much better than the animated version that came with Halo 5. It definitely is worth the purchase.
Agreed. I have the comics version, but will likely get the graphic novel as well.
