Issues[edit]

Another page of The Spirit.
Production notes[edit]
The Spirit paper was hard to read in the original Halo Wars, and was properly released by writer Graeme Devine in April 2016.[2]
The copy of The Spirit in Halo Wars is dated July 23, 2526, however, this cannot be the case as the issue mentions casualties from the UNSC Prophecy. The Spirit of Fire arrived at the Prophecy on February 4th, 2531, meaning at earliest this issue could have been made was February 4th, 2531. According to Graeme Devine, this is probably a remnant of an earlier version of the story.[3]
