::Its funny how you don't care about the Spartans but I guess it's a case of how lil emphasis has been placed on them except for the ones you mentioned (love Ray). Some these Spartans have become nothing but canon fodder. As for 'Nyon, I don't believe he has anything up his sleeve. Based on how his forces were taking a beating, I think he already lost this one or either that, he'll attempt to escape. But it would be interesting if he somehow manages to wrestle control of the covenant from 'Mdama. As for that special elite, he's already dead.--'''''[[User:Killamin7i|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin</span><span style="color:red; font-family: Arial;">7</span><span style="color:black; font-family: Arial;">i</span>]]''''' [[User talk:Killamin7i|<font color="Gray">///</font>]] 17:54, 14 March 2015 (EDT)

A few points:
*You'd think that either side in the ship-to-ship battle would've made more progress after seven hours of constant conflict. Either the ''Infinity'' would've wrecked Jul's fleet and they'd have a lot less ships, or the other way around. And where are the ''Infinity'''s underslung frigates in all this? In fact I don't think we've seen them since ''Spartan Ops'' even though they would've come in handy a lot of times after that.
*Why is Halsey so insistent to travel to the planet in person? I know she tends to have that "someone else might have gotten it wrong" type attitude when it comes to ''science'', but she should know her presence isn't at all necessary in a war zone with fully-armored Elites and Spartans running about. It's almost like... the plot demanded it. And it's awfully convenient how the Spartans in the Forerunner structure were able to receive Hoya's transmission right after he spotted Halsey (despite getting nothing in the hours before that).
*Spartan-IVs sure love removing their helmets in war zones for no reason.
*Evil Palmer is evil.
But other than that I don't hate this arc. I just hope Halsey comes out unscathed (we know Palmer does, unless Issue 20's cover is completely false), or even somehow manages to clear up the unfortunate misunderstanding with the UNSC that happened at the end of SpOps. It's hard to imagine they'd dare kill her in a comic book, but then again you never know...  --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 04:34, 16 March 2015 (EDT)
