| '''''Halo: Fall of Reach''''' is a series of three four-issue comic book adaptations of the first ''Halo'' novel, ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach|The Fall of Reach]]''. It was published by [[Marvel Comics]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/transmissions/article/2010-06-22--Marvel-Comics-to-Adapt-The-Fall-of-Reach-This-September '''Halo Waypoint''': Marvel Comics to Adapt ''The Fall of Reach'' this September]</ref> | | The series consists of three story arcs: ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp|Boot Camp]]'', which covers [[John-117]]'s childhood and [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] training, ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant|Covenant]]'', which centers around the early days of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion|Invasion]]'', which covers the final sections of the novel, including the [[Fall of Reach]] itself.<ref name="IGN">[http://comics.ign.com/articles/111/1118824p1.html '''IGN''': ''Halo: Master Chief's Boot Camp'']</ref><ref name="orchestrating"/> |

| The series consists of three story arcs: ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp|Boot Camp]]'', covering [[John-117]]'s childhood and [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] training; ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant|Covenant]]'', centering around the early days of the [[Human-Covenant War]]; and ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion|Invasion]]'', adapting the final sections of the novel, including the [[Fall of Reach|eponymous battle]].<br> | | 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. As the series is adapted to the comic book medium, 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 [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]]. Additionally, the final segment of ''Invasion'' adds an embellished interpretation of [[Red Team]]'s actions during the [[Fall of Reach]] as described in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]''.

|
| The series also takes a number of artistic liberties with the material; for instance, several ships (such as the ''[[Unrelenting]]'') appear different than described in the novel, and the canonically pitch black [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] is depicted as an expanse of blue streaks. Additionally, the space battles are portrayed as occurring over much shorter ranges than the described in the novels—often only several dozens or hundreds of meters at the most as opposed to the distances routinely ranging from several kilometers to hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in the novels.
