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 from a novel, 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 [[Eridanus Rebels]]. Brian Reed worked with [[Frank O'Connor]] and [[Kevin Grace]] of 343 Industries to ensure the accuracy of the additional content, and the content updates in the 2010 version of ''The Fall of Reach'' have been taken into account in the comic series.<ref name="IGN"/> | The series shows some of the first visuals for canon elements never seen outside of the ''Fall of Reach'' novel.
