==Official summary==
{{Article quote|This September, Marvel and 343 Industries are proud to announce Halo: Fall of Reach “Boot Camp #1,” the graphic fiction event answering the question on the minds of gamers around the world—what’s the secret on the planet of Reach that led to the creation of the Master Chief? Fan-favorite writer Brian Reed and artist Felix Ruiz team-up to adapt the New York Times best-selling novel, Halo: Fall of Reach, and bring the world of Halo to life like you’ve never seen it before!}}
 
== Differences from the novel ==
{{Main|List of changes in Halo: The Fall of Reach rereleases}}
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.

{{Article quote|After creating more than 800 colonies, the United Nations Space Command has encountered the Covenant - an alien race bent on obliterating humanity. The burnt cinder that used to be the peaceful farming world Harvest and its millions of dead colonists serve as testimony to the Covenant's intentions. But if Dr. Catherine Halsey can equip the UNSC's super-soldiers, the Spartans, in her new MJOLNIR armor, humanity just might stand a fighting chance against the aliens' seemingly unstoppable campaign.

{{Article quote|It's the deadliest game of "capture the flag" ever - but this time, the flag is a Covenant religious leader! The Prophets are a leadership caste, and the Covenant looks to them with awe and reverence. To kill a Prophet would only increase Covenant hostilities with humanity - but to capture one could lead to a truce. Enter Master Chief and the Spartans! But even with upgraded armor and new tech, can Master Chief stop a Covenant invasion armada 700 ships strong? And if the Spartans fall, will the Covenant's next target be Earth?
