And even more Halo news! Marvel.com has updated their comics listings with details on the new ongoing Halo comic book, Halo: Uprising, written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Alex Maleev. Included on the page is possible cover art (seen right, hit up the link for a larger version), as well as a brief summary of the plot of the book.


Picking up from the conclusion of blockbuster video game Halo 2, the must-read issue reveals how the Master Chief, while onboard a hostile ship headed towards Earth, is battling against Covenant forces! Intertwined with Master Chief's interstellar one-man-war is the saga of a great American city's rebellion and downfall, two disparate lives' collision and shared fate, and the Covenant's hunt for an ancient relic of untold power and value. With hope dwindling and the fate of humanity hanging by a thread, is there any chance for a future?

While it might sound generic, this is Brian Michael Bendis, the guy Marvel uses when they want to make something interesting. He is the man.

The first issue will retail for $3.99 and will hit store shelves on July 18th.
