==Official statement== | |||
{{Quote|This September, Marvel and 343 Industries are proud to announce Halo: Fall of Reach “Boot Camp #1,” the graphic fiction event answering the question on the minds of gamers around the world—what’s the secret on the planet of Reach that led to the creation of the Master Chief? Fan-favorite writer Brian Reed and artist Felix Ruiz team-up to adapt the New York Times best-selling novel, Halo: Fall of Reach, and bring the world of Halo to life like you’ve never seen it before!|Marvel and 343 Industries}} | |||
==Plot synopsis== | |||
The series follows the plot of the novel, though some events have been omitted. In turn, a new subplot which further explores the [[Insurrectionist|Eridanus rebels]] and their leader, [[Robert Watts|Colonel Robert Watts]], has been added. | |||

''' | ===Issue #1=== | ||
The first issue opens with the battle over [[Eridanus II]] during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] in [[2513]] and the rebels' escape from the planet. The story then jumps four years forward, as the shuttle ''[[Han]]'' arrives in the [[Eridanus system]] with [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade|Lt.]] [[Jacob Keyes]] onboard. In [[Elysium City]] on [[Eridanus II]], they observe the boy who will later become [[John-117]]. A month later, the Spartan conscripts, having each been kidnapped and brought to Reach, are rounded up as Halsey tells them of their conscription to the SPARTAN-II project. Later, Halsey is seen drinking in her apartment, when she receives a message from [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]], regarding the risks involved in the planned [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]]. | |||

===Issue #2=== | |||
The second issue focuses on [[SPARTAN-II training|the training]] of the SPARTAN-IIs. John and the other recruits are woken up and are put through various exercises by [[Chief Petty Officer|CPO]] [[Franklin Mendez]]. Afterward, they are taught of the [[Battle of Thermopylae]] by [[Déjà]] in the [[Reach Naval Academy]]. A UNSC transport vessel is then shown exiting slipspace and soon being boarded by rebels near Eridanus II. The narrative then returns to the Spartan trainees, who are dropped into the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]] on Reach and are given a mission to find a way to the extraction point, each on their own. The Spartans team up, and with John on the lead, seize a dropship and use it to return to the base. After the incident, John is promoted squad leader by Chief Mendez. | |||

===Issue #3=== | |||
Issue #3 begins with the funeral ceremony for those who died in the SPARTAN-II augmentations, aboard the [[UNSC carrier]] ''[[UNSC Atlas|Atlas]]''. Several months later, Halsey and Mendez arrive at one of Reach's abandoned [[titanium]] mines where the Spartans are training against UNSC personnel wearing [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor#Mark I Prototype Exoskeleton|Mark I Prototype Exoskeletons]]. Soon after, the Spartans are assigned to their first real mission: to capture Colonel Robert Watts, who is hiding somewhere in the Eridanus asteroid belt. After being briefed onboard the {{UNSCShip|Pioneer}}, the Spartans sneak aboard the [[freighter]] ''[[Laden]]'' and manage to get inside the rebel-controlled asteroid habitat, [[Eridanus Secundus]]. The issue ends as the Spartans assault Watts' private residence inside the base. | |||

The fourth issue opens with Blue Team capturing Colonel Watts and stuffing him into a sealed storage crate. The Spartans then rappel down the building and escape via a tram as more insurrectionists arrive. The team arrives at the station's docking bay, where they split up, with Samuel-034 planting explosives on the main door and Linda-058 covering the rest of the team as Kelly, John and Fred get Watts onboard a Pelican. Once everyone is aboard, Sam blows the doors open and the Spartans escape Eridanus Secundus just as the entire hangar bay is depressurized. | The fourth issue opens with Blue Team capturing Colonel Watts and stuffing him into a sealed storage crate.

The issue ends with a message by the [[Prophet of Regret]], proclaiming humanity's destruction. | ||
