The Halo Graphic Novel was announced on March 17th, 2006 on Bungie.net, and should be available by July 2006. The HGN will be a 128 page, hardcover, full color graphic novel containing one large story and three smaller side stories. It is being developed by Bungie and published by Marvel Comics.

Stories

1: The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor: When communications from a Covenant agricultural support ship, the Infinite Succor, are mysteriously terminated, Rtas 'Vadumee and his squad of Special Forces are sent to investigate. What they find is a peril more deadly and terrifying than any Human threat.

2: Armor Testing: The only way to test Spartan armor, is to send a Spartan. The question is what's really being tested? The power of the Mjolnir Mark VI battle armor, or the mettle of the ODSTs trying to find its weaknesses?

3: Breaking Quarantine: One of the untold tales from Halo is Sergeant Johnson's escape from the clutches of the Flood menace. Now's the time to reveal how the UNSC's toughest Marine got out of an inescapable trap.

4: Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa: Fighting a war isn't just shipping men and machines to distant worlds. There are subtler, more dangerous fights taking place on the streets of New Mombasa, and in the hearts and minds of men.
