I would've bought this even if they didn't have Eric Nylund contributing. But since they do, I'm going to buy an extra copy for the bathroom now. :P #haloevolutions
Essential Christmas present for me! I adore anything with Karen Traviss' name on it, and as a big fan of the whole universe of lore the Halo novels have created, this sounds really good.
I can't wait to read that story about the Elites post Halo 3... ooh ooh ooh! And more of the ship to ship combat! I loved that in the Halo novels, it always reminded me of a sort of Star Trek-esque/Old naval battle sort of fighting. *squees*
.. I think i'll stop gushing my halo-fanboyishness now.
Haha, "green suit of armor with a guy inside of it". It's funny because that's pretty much the most effective way to talk about Master Chief in the first place; in the games at least, that dude barely even registers as a person.
As for this book, it seems like it's essentially "Tales from the Empire" or "Tales of the Jedi" from back in the '90s when people actually bought Star Wars short story collections. #haloevolutions
@Archaotic: Ah ha, I remember when i was a kid, and every time I went to the local library i'd take out Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina and Tales of the Bounty Hunters. I loved those books!
They tried to do it more recently with Death Star, but although I really like it, it just doesn't compare to the nostalgia factor of the Tales anthologies. #haloevolutions
@Archaotic:

There is a little humanity. Chief jokes with Cortana on multiple occassions in the games. Given the process that it took to make him a Spartan, it's no wonder he is the way he is.
Less time talking is more time for ass whooping. #haloevolutions
I just can't understand that Mike Resnick did novelisation for Tomb raider (!) and was not part of this... Such a waste. I don't know if covenants get married, but the masterchief would definitely make a great widowmaker. #haloevolutions
Marv Wolfman? Marv Wolfman!? Marv fracking Wolfman!? I am buying that comic no questions asked. They should have added more to his credits: Former EiC at Marvel, creator of Nightwing, Tim Drake, Starfire, Black Cat, Bullseye, Deathstroke, Blade, and many others. Marv Wolfman is a freaking genius. That is not the kind of name you usually see attached to a comic like this. Sony must have pulled some big strings at either WB or DC to get him on the book.
The blade looks cool too, but the comic announcement overrides my love of pointy-death weapons.
That would be the only knife I use. Especially for dinner parties. I'll raise it above my head, shout out something unintelligible, and then cut that steak for all its worth. Or spread butter. Either case, you have to do it with passion!

Finally! Something to get rid of that pesky minotaur problem I have been having in my basement. You see one and don't kill it and then next thing you know you have twenty or so running around asking to consume you.
