Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp

Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp is the first story arc in an upcoming series of a comic-book adaptation of the first Halo novel, The Fall of Reach. This series will be published by Marvel Comics in conjunction with 343 Industries, and written by Brian Reed with art by Felix Ruiz. Consisting of four issues, Boot Camp will chronicle the childhood of future SPARTAN-II commander John-117 as he's kidnapped and thrown into the elite supersoldier program early on in the 26th century. The story arc culminates in the Spartans' first real mission, an operation to capture the rebel Colonel Robert Watts at Eridanus Secundus.

The first issue in the Boot Camp series will be released on September 15, 2010, a day after Halo: Reach. Boot Camp will be succeeded by two additional story arcs which cover the rest of the novel's story; Covenant and Pillar of Autumn.
