343 Industries and Dark Horse Comics are set to release a brand-new\u00a0Halo<\/em>\u00ae graphic novel anthology based on the massive video game franchise later this year.<\/p>\n

Halo: Tales from Slipspace<\/em>\u00a0will feature all-new stories from some of the comic industry\u2019s best\u2014including Jonathan Wayshak, Eric Nguyen, Alex Irvine, Kody Chamberlain, Dave Crosland, John Jackson Miller, Jonathan Goff, Simon Roy, and Halo: Escalation writer Duffy Boudreau\u2014as well as 343 Industries\u2019 own Franchise Creative Director Frank O\u2019Connor and Franchise Producer Tyler Jeffers. This action-packed anthology is essential reading for all Halo fans!<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler Jeffers back in 2012 at New York Comicon. Previous to working at 343, he was on the team at McFarlane Toys working with the Halo line. He definitely has a passion for Halo!<\/span><\/p>\n

343 Industries and Dark Horse have also produced two blockbuster comics series with canonical story lines written by writers from the video game franchise (Halo: Initiation<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Halo: Escalation<\/em>) and will rerelease the graphic novel\u00a0Halo: Fall of Reach<\/em>\u00a0in March.<\/p>\n

Halo: Tales from Slipspace<\/em>\u00a0is in stores October 12, 2016. Preorder your copy today at your\u00a0local comic shop<\/a>\u00a0or through these fine retailers:<\/p>\n

Amazon
\n<\/a>Barnes and Noble
\n<\/a>IndieBound<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> Yes, I HIGHLY recommend buying from your local comic shop! Help support your local businesses!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I for one am excited by the news of this anthology. I enjoy short stories. So long as 343 keeps continuity with these, this should be a successful line. Short stories help to bring new characters into the universe without having to have a multi-comic story arc. This works very well with minor characters. And who knows, they might just turn into more major characters depending on the reception from fans!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In any event, I plan on picking up this line for sure! How about you???<\/span><\/p>\n
