NYCC 09: Marvel Comics releasing two more Halo mini-series
If you enjoyed Marvel's yet-to-be-completed Halo: Uprising comic series then you may be interested in a recent announcement from Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada -- during his Cup O' Joe panel at NYCC, Quesada confirmed that Marvel will be publishing two more Halo miniseries by the end of the year. Hopefully, these two won't get bogged down by late-in-the-game story revisions and accompanying year-long delays.
The first five-part series, which is set to deploy this summer (and could conveniently wrap in time for Halo 3: ODST) will be penned by She-Hulk writer Peter David, and drawn by Gigantic's Eric Nguyen. The second series, due out in winter, will be produced by Fred Van Lente and Francis Portela, the writing and illustrating (respectively) team behind Wolverine: First Class. Best of luck, guys -- you've got some awfully big shoes to fill.

They should worry about finishing Uprising before they start anything new.

I'd love a Halo comic if it didn't suck, which is fortunately something I cant say about uprising

That's pretty obviously just a traced 3d render.
If that's how they're going to do the actual comic, that's pretty lame.

i think that's how they did the uprising one, im not real sure, it looked mostly like that though

Not even traced, just photoshop filter dude, .....somethin about replying to your posts just feels weird though......

Bendis and Maleev are great......but Halo: Uprising's delays have completely killed any enthusiasm I had for it. I mean, it's pretty decompressed as is.

This is B.S.!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting over a year for them to release a 4... yeah 4 issue miniseries!!!! This is F$&@ing ridiculous... every issue postponed another week, then another week... then more. I agree with zhine, I used to be excited about the Halo comics... now just pissed... and GANNONSMASH you are right finish the 4 issue series that has taken you over a year to release... then think about others.... if you want...

Why bother trying to complete something so worthless?

At least they did the right thing and switched the creative teams for next miniseries. I was not a fan of the previous team and Uprising seems to be exactly the wrong direction I thought they might go in.
