Halo: Uprising #1 spotted in Marvel solicitation
Announced this past February at New York Comic Con, Halo: Uprising is an ongoing series for the man from Killimanjaro and the follow-up project to last years incredible Halo Graphic Novel. Newsarama has got the details in a July solicitation from Marvel. The first issue will be coming in at 40 pages and will fill in the blanks between the Master Chief joyriding a Forerunner spaceship at the end of Halo 2 to, well, whenever the heck Halo 3 picks it up. The Chief won't be the only star of the show as Uprising will tell the saga of "a great American city's rebellion and downfall." If it's anything like HGN's "Sunrise Over New Mombasa," lore-nuts will really have something to freak out about.
Halo: Uprising is written by Marvel's marathon man, Brian Michael Bendis (Mighty Avengers, New Avengers and roughly 1,000 other books) and illustrated by Alex Maleev (New Avengers, Spider-Woman).

I'm guessing this comic will be considered overrated by those who don't read it or those who read it but generally prefer Sandman.

ehhh never liked halo as a game, but the last graphic novel had some really decent artwork... story sucked but the illustrations were nice. I might check this out.

Halo always had a good background story, but the game never implemented it well, especially true for Halo 2
I'd like to see more story-centric games made into comics, myself, that little one about Metroid Prime that they ran in Nintendo Power really showed that thats an untapped market
Lets start a petition to get Mass Effect made into a comic book, that looks like it'd be good in the vein of Star Trek...

Let's start a petition to get Peter Jackson to write, pencil, and ink his own comic book combining Halo with LOTR... you know you all want it.
