Halo: Escalation is a twelve-issue[1] comic book series produced by Dark Horse Comics. It focuses on "how the events of Halo 4 have helped define the destiny not only of the Chief but of the galaxy as a whole".[2] The story centers on the UNSC Infinity being assigned escort duty for a diplomatic mission between the Arbiter and the Jiralhanae around a month after the events of Spartan Ops. However, the escort team soon has to fend off an attack meant to thwart the negotiations.[3]

Appearances
Production notes
Though the series primarily uses Halo 4's designs for the Covenant species and their equipment, the Halo 3 and Halo: Reach incarnations of certain elements also appear in some panels. Most notably, Lydus resembles the Brutes seen in Halo: Reach, yet his bodyguards are clearly drawn in their Halo 3 likeness. Pre-Halo: Reach and post-Halo: Reach Banshees are shown side-by-side in Issue 2, and a Halo 3/Reach-style Grunt makes a cameo in the same issue. Curiously, despite his recognizable classic appearance, Escalation depicts the Arbiter much like the Sangheili in Halo 4 with regard to his skin tone and mouth structure.
Mistakes
- In some panels in Issue 1, Kig-Yar are seen with four fingers instead of three.
- In Issue 1, the visor color of the Spartan with War Master armor is orange, yet in Issue 2 it is blue.
