Halo Comic Book

[Wondermonkey]

Spent some time at the New York Comic Con this weekend, and one of the things that came of it was that Marvel has announced a new comic series based on the Halo franchise. It will be penned by Brian Michael Bendis, who has worked on Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man, and The New Avengers. Alex Maleev will be the artist. He has worked with Bendis before on Daredevil.

No storyline details were announced, but details should be emerging soon.

That sounds awesome! I loved their run on Daredevil. This may be enough to make me actually buy single issues of comics again.

Bendis is an excellent writer. I will pick this up for sure.
