Halo: Fall of Reach: Difference between revisions

{{Main|List of inconsistencies in the Halo series#Halo: Fall of Reach|l1=Full list of differences}}

The series shows some of the first visuals for canon elements never seen outside of the ''Fall of Reach'' novel. As the series is adapted to the comic book medium, it differs from the original book in a variety of ways; some details are fleshed out more than in the novel, while others are left out or altered for storytelling purposes. For example, the series adds a subplot which expands upon the background of the character [[Robert Watts]], a turncoat [[Colonel]] and the leader of the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]]. Additionally, the final segment of ''Invasion'' adds an embellished interpretation of [[Red Team]]'s actions during the [[Fall of Reach]] described in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]''.

The series also takes a number of artistic liberties with the material; for instance, several ships - such as the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' - appear different than described in the novel, and the canonically pitch black [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] is depicted as an expanse of blue streaks. Additionally, the space battles are portrayed as occurring over much shorter ranges than the described in the novels - often only several dozens or hundreds of meters at the most as opposed to the distances routinely ranging from several kilometers to hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in the novels.
