Halo: Evolutions motion comics

This article is about the motion comics released on Halo Waypoint. For the original anthology series, see Halo: Evolutions.

The Halo: Evolutions motion comics are a series of short animated films produced by 343 Industries between 2010 and 2012 based on a number of short stories from the anthology collection of the same name. The films were originally released on Xbox LIVE as multiple distinct weekly episodes before later being released on Halo Waypoint, and later YouTube, as full film cuts.

The shorts were produced by two creators: the first three (Halo: Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian, Halo: The Return, and Halo: The Mona Lisa) by Juan Richard Feliz aka ONE, while the fourth (Halo: Headhunters) was produced by MoreFrames. A fifth (Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss) was planned for adaptation, though was ultimately cancelled.
