			Not really sure what what you mean by the YouTube link. Anyway, assessing popularity on Google. When searching "Halo A Fistful of Arrows", I find interviews of Levi, but most of the search results are the comic itself, because its pages are so numerous. Searching for "company 0051 halo", instead, brings up results of the comics pages but many of the fan made comics made for 0051's contests. That clearly suggests to me that the comic has a wide audience, and its views are not made up solely of people stumbling upon it. Otherwise, the high views of the official pages would outweigh the amount of fan pages. For ''Levi Sangheili's War'', I find a couple of foreign translations, among other reprintings. "ODS Steve", most of the results are the comic's pages, but they're printed across many sites like Waypoint, HBO, Hawty, Spirits of Fire, Bungie.net, YouTube, and Rooster Teeth. Only the Spirits of Fire one is done by the author, the rest are by the comic's fans, including Bungie, 343, and their own fans they show them to.
