Halo Escalation #9 is out today!
Issue #9 of Darkhorse’s Halo series, Escalation is out today.
You should be able to find it at your local comic book store. If not, then you can easily purchase it straight from Darkhorse in either the digital or hard copy format.
If you do have a comic shop nearby, I’d suggest buying it there first. Local stores need your business and most comic shops are small businesses.
Here’s the cover of issue #9:

Halo Escalation #12 cover revealed!
Darkhorse has revealed issue #12 of Escalation. In the foreground we see an Elite Minor (Halo 4 armor) piloting a Ghost. In the background it appears that there is a Spartan piloting another Ghost, given chase to the one in front.
All around them, there is what looks like a collapsing ground element. Is a planet being ripped apart?
Well, if you read the clue given in the description of the issue, that might be the case.
HFFL’s ‘Extra-life’ team fundraising drive!
Last year I joined in the fundraiser for Extra Life, an organization aimed at helping kids in hospitals.
This year, I decided to make HFFL a TEAM instead of just me.
If you’d like to join in the fundraising drive, please check out HFFL’s fundraising page on Extra Life here: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=16456
I literally sign up just before writing this article. Now while the event isn’t until Oct 25, donations are being taken now. You don’t have to be on the team to donate. Any donation is gladly accepted. Help HFFL reach it’s goal of $1,000 to help KIDS!
To donate, go to the link above, find the DONATE button (upper right corner). When prompted, please type in: HALOFANFORLIFE as the team name. This will allow your donation to go towards HFFL’s goal of $1,000 this year for Extra Life.
ALL proceeds go to the charity.
