Talk:Soma the Painter

Where is it?

I have had Halo: Evolutions for a while now. But recently I bought the new Halo: Evolutions to read this story. And guess what, it was the same thing, but had less stories. And the only thing added was a story about some San Shyuum's confession on his death bed! As you can see this is very frustrating, just wondering why that is.

That's because you have Volume II. Soma the Painter is in Volume I. --Courage never dies. 10:58, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

Which is Volume I? Because I have two Evolutions, one of them is a bigger-size book, the other is a pretty small book (the latter of which is the one with the Prophet). Vegerot (talk) 00:45, 15 May 2011 (EDT)!!

Evolutions was re-released in two separate volumes as a marketing scheme. The two volumes each contain half of the original book as well as a new story. Their covers are tinted blue and red, respectively, and say "Volume #" under the title. You have the original version - the full version - and Volume II. Essentially, you have one and a half copies of Evolutions. --Courage never dies. 11:33, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

It seems kinda stupid to spend 8 dollars for a 20 page (approx.) story. Is there somewhere I can read it online? Vegerot (talk) 17:27, 15 May 2011 (EDT)??!

I've checked a few times to no avail. It is only available in the book. I hope that Soma the Painter, Wages of Sin, and the adjunct sections from the novel re-releases will be posted on Waypoint someday, but I seriously doubt that will happen. I'm going to read all this additional content the next time I go to the bookstore. --Courage never dies. 22:53, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

You can read Soma the Painter in the Amazon preview of Volume I, at least; it's quite short. --Document (talk) 15:14, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Doesn't look like that's the whole thing, just part of it. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 15:36, 19 February 2013 (EST)
