Wait a second. How did Ripa fit into that armor in the first place? I can't imagine all the Arbiters before him were that huge.
Didn't every Arbiter die in battle or something? Maybe the previous Arbiter's armour wasn't recovered, like his after the HW shield world got blown up.
Actually...

Oh jeez
Yeah, I don't think there's one set of armor, it doesn't make sense since you can expect arbiters to go out... messy. I always thought the Arbiter armor designs in H2-3 was a major downgrade from the standard elite armor, like it was too rounded to seem very threatening.
So that Tom, is that actually Tom B292? The Spartan-III Tom that was pretty much a badass?
And is that supposed to be Hood there in the middle? Obviously the next one is Palmer. That isn't Lucy behind her, is it? And that isn't Fred in the background, too right?
It does look like it's Hood, but it's not Thom. Thom allegedly died before the events of Reach.
She's referring to Thomas Lasky.

Fuck. These comics seem to have lots of important characters popping in and out but I don't want to support that horrible art selection. Shit's gotta be improved for the next round of comics, 343.
His ideas could take halo to new heights.
It's Lasky, from Halo 4:

Tom-B292 and Thom-293 are separate
The human characters are (L-R) cant remember her name but not Lucy, Palmer, DeMarco from SpOps (i think), Lord Hood and Lasky.

The Sonic comic books have better art than this. :lol
Ah, good looking out for me everyone. I just remember Jun showing up in one issue early on and right now I thought that was Tom from Onyx Tom (Anybody have any idea what this is referencing? Hint: Change Tom to John and Onyx to Reach) , so I was thinking about how much they are connecting the non-game stuff now. I was going to get excited for a minute or two.
Man, that's unfortunate. Both T(h)oms one after the other? :lol

Never bothered to read Halo comics. Anything particularly important happen in them?

Well at the end of Escalation #2A spartan IV called Scruggs kills his squad (Fireteam Jackknife. RIP derp spartan) and is waiting to ambush Palmer, Lord Hood, the Arbiter and the Brute Chieftain in the next issue.
Are you telling mea guy named Scruggs is going to single-handedly kill Palmer, Lord Hood, Arby and a Brute Chieftan? Say it ain't so!
Ahh okay, thanks. Probably won't waste my time wih those and stick to the novels.The Halo Graphic Novel details how exactly Johnson got out of the Flood-controlled facility. It's a pretty badass little comic. It doesn't have any dialogue and has some fantastic art. It also features some other short stories featuring Half-Jaw, a retired Spartan who is now a mom(lol wut), and some stupid reporter in New Mombasa. As you can see, not exactly important.
Uprising was supposed to show exactly how Chief went from the ending of Halo 2 to the beginning of Halo 3, but it was just some crappy love story involving some random woman, a background character from the books(Colonel Ackerson) and his brother. With a few frames here and there about Chief. Pretty disappointing.
Lots of the Halo comics are just "Take side character A and detail their past. Show side character B for dramatic effect". Helljumper was that way. The goal of it was to take two characters from ODST and show how they met/interacted the first time on a team. It accomplished the goal but it just felt like it was unnecessary.
Blood Line was created for the express purpose of showing badass Spartans doing badass things. It succeeds wholeheartedly. The story is good but not exactly essential but the art is great and it has some cool moments.
The Fall of Reach comics are just adaptations of the Fall of Reach book so one could argue they're important but not overly so.
Haven't read Initiation/Escalation at all so I don't know about them.
That's ridiculous. SIVs are such a joke.Well at the end of Escalation #2A spartan IV called Scruggs kills his squad (Fireteam Jackknife. RIP derp spartan) and is waiting to ambush Palmer, Lord Hood, the Arbiter and the Brute Chieftain in the next issue.

I support this guy.Well at the end of Escalation #2A spartan IV called Scruggs kills his squad (Fireteam Jackknife. RIP derp spartan) and is waiting to ambush Palmer, Lord Hood, the Arbiter and the Brute Chieftain in the next issue.
Blood Line is a fun little romp. I recommend that one at least. The Halo Graphic Novel has four short stories. Two have really good art. Two have really good stories. And it has a bunch of random Halo art in the back that is pretty fun to look at. If I were to recommend any two Halo comics, I would recommend those.
And I can safely say that probably would not change even after I eventually read Escalation/Initiation.
Now I'm imagining you(r avatar?) withtattooed on your stomach like you're Tupac/Thug LifeScruggs

We're 1/3rd of the way through January now and still have no release date for Spartan Assault on 360. :/
We live in the best of times for gaming with so much to choose from and play. Don't be so bummed out over missing out on one game.We're 1/3rd of the way through January now and still have no release date for Spartan Assault on 360. :/
Oh, you mean the Bionicles?Halo 4 Prometheans were so goofy to look at.
I'd like to see these kinds of Grunts back in H5.
Also Brutes. I've always liked Brutes. Maybe even introduce a new race that the Covenant has become "buddies" with in the intervening years.
lmfao I'm sorry what.. Are you sayingSpartan IV's now even betray other Spartans..?
Is this Halo or am I in a dreamworld?ring

You own Sonic comic books?
Can only be good news for Halo to get Staten back.
Concept art, as always, looks great. Looking forward to seeing some rendered environments and start forming an opinion of Halo 5: The Poncho Files
