Halo: Fall of Reach

Halo: The Fall of Reach is an upcoming series of a comic book adaptation of the first Halo novel, The Fall of Reach. This series will be published by Marvel Comics in conjunction with 343 Industries, and written by Brian Reed with art by Felix Ruiz.

The series consists of three story arcs: Boot Camp, which covers John-117's childhood and Spartan training, Covenant, which centers around the early days of the Human-Covenant War and Pillar of Autumn, which covers the final sections of the novel, including the Fall of Reach itself.

As the series is adapted to the comic book medium from a novel, it will differ from the original book in a variety of ways; some details may be fleshed out more than in the novel, while some parts may be left out or altered for storytelling purposes.

The first issue of Boot Camp will be released on September 14, 2010.
