Halo: Spartan Black is an upcoming four-part comic series about a team of stranded SPARTAN-II Commandos before the Battle of Reach in mid-2552 [1]. It is set to be released in Winter 2010. It is written by Fred Van Lente, pencilled and inked by Francis Portela.
Official Synopsis
- "Spartan Black is also a pre-"Halo: Combat Evolved" story, focused on a small Black Ops sabotage and intelligence fire team of Spartans assigned to the ONI, the Office of Naval Intelligence. While on a top-secret mission in enemy space, their ship crashes on a remote moon along with a Covenant cruiser. When a mysterious entity that has lurked on the moon for millions of years threatens both groups, Spartans and Covenant have to forge an uneasy alliance to take down the common threat ... but not all humans and aliens can suddenly start treating the other like allies.."
- — Fred Van Lente
Information
- Fred Van Lente has further said that this series is set in a new kind of Forerunner installation and that it occurs right before the fall of Reach. Van Lente has also stated that the series will not feature any characters from past games. All-new covenant, Spartan and perhaps even Forerunner characters will be featured. [2]
- A recent image released by Francis Portela[3], it seems that the Spartan Black team will consist of at least four Spartans.
- The Spartans in the cover picture have MJOLNIR MK VI armors. However, if the comic takes place before the Battle of Reach, they should have MK V or possibly still MK IV armors.
