Halo fans rejoice! After the success of the amazing Halo Graphic Novel, Marvel promised to bring us more graphic novel goodness based on the exploits of the Master Chief and the other principal characters in the Halo mythos. And now, it looks like the first details on the comic have finally emerged at Marvel.com. Updating their catalog, Marvel has posted details on the new comic, titled Uprising, which is being penned by Marvel genius Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spiderman/Daredevil/The Avengers/House of M) and drawn by the supremely divine Alex Maleev (Daredevil/Civil Wars/What If…?/New Avengers).According to Marvel, this 40 page graphic novel starts at the end of Halo 2 and ties in nicely with the beginning of the hugely anticipated Halo 3:

The Eisner Award-winning team of superscribe Brian Michael Bendis and artist extraordinaire Alex Maleev unleash an epic story of mankind’s struggle against the alien threat of the Covenant. 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 Convenant’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?

Selling for $3.99, Uprising promises to be the first in the line of some truly amazing comics that will be set in the epic Halo universe and will be available for the rabid masses on July 18, 2007, which should tie in nicely with the time people start going crazy outside the Bungie offices for Halo 3 and Halo: Wars. Looks like the fight is finally starting to finish…
