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 launched in December 2009. It is written by Fred Van Lente, and will be penciled 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
Miscellaneous
- The cover of the Spartan Black shows the Spartans in Mark VI armor. This is interesting, as the book took place during the Battle of Reach, where the Mark VI armor had not yet been developed. This is likely something that was overlooked by the artist.
