::I liked this issue too and while it doesn't take the greater story anywhere it's refreshing to see more grounded stories on occasion amids all the galactic MacGuffin chasing and over-the-top Spartan action. Tanaka is quite likable so far, though I almost feel like her past as a glassing survivor and Army engineer will be more interesting than her future as a <s>Power Ranger</s> Spartan-IV. I'll gladly be proven wrong, though. The 20th century-esque tech (especially the shotgun) bothered me too. It's also kind of funny how little regard is being paid to the Covenant's glassing capabilities after all the fuss that was made about it circa 2011 - those CPVs' glassing fireballs must be thousands of kilometers in diameter. I really liked the way they showed two subtypes of Kig-Yar side by side as I've previously complained about them never doing this despite it being a lot easier in a comic than it is in a game.--[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|Contribs]]) 13:04, 28 April 2015 (EDT)

The Spartan on the cover looks an awful lot like the leftmost one [[:File:Locke team Halo 5.png|in Locke's team]], complete with the blue/turquoise metal rails. I'm betting she's Tanaka. Also, ''damn'' Isaac Hannaford is good. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|Contribs]]) 01:57, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

:The cover looks magnificent, and I really like the sound of, well, all the standalone stories. Plus, I already like this Tanaka, and would be happy for her to join Locke in Halo 5. I just...I wish the faces didn't give me the willies when I see some of them. -- [[User:Morhek|Qura 'Morhek]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|The Autocrat]] [[User talk:Specops306|of Morheka]] 02:57, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

::[[:File:HE17 Cascadia Captain.jpg|The faces are great]]! On another note, this issue's description mentions "a powerful new combatant enters the fray". I suppose the combatant is either the Spartan shown on the cover or Locke's team altogether. I'm glad "The Absolute Record" arc is continuing, though I worry for the lives of Jul and Halsey. - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 12:00, 15 May 2015 (EDT)
