Brian Michael Bendis wants to talk to you about being the writer on the first arc of Marvel’s ongoing Halo series:

I think Halo is our generation’s Star Wars. It’s got a rich and untapped back story and world view that completely inspires me and millions of others. That’s why the game is such a hit, that’s why it raises past being a game into a cultural phenomenon, because it has richness to it that other games, and frankly, a lot of movies and television shows simply do not have.

It was an honor to be asked to add something to the Halo pot. To bring to Halo what the graphic novel also brought, some humanity and perspective. Something you can’t get in the game based solely on the nature of the different mediums… We also tried to create a juicy Sci-Fi story that, even if you don’t play or know anything about Halo, you could buy this and enjoy it just on its own character and storytelling momentum. If you are a Halo die-hard, you will find connections, characters, and references to not only the three Halo games, but the novels as well.
