Monday Comic Roundup
A summary of Halo comics we've heard about since Friday:
- Hawty McBloggy noticed an episode of Letmelive4sho's Penguin Comics that references not only Halo 3: ODST... but ODS Steve.
- AfroRyan pointed out a new episode of Castle Vidcons that references Halo Legends.
- Bloogyo came by with word of Rat's Nest 22-5 and 22-6... and something else.
I'm sure there'll be more as soon as I post this. (Louis Wu 16:00:28 UTC)

Halo Legends ComiCon Poster Art
Frankie stopped in yesterday with examples of some posters given away at Comic-Con - see what you missed! (They aren't for sale anywhere - Frank said he didn't even get to keep any for himself!)

Summin' Up Da Week
The Bungie Weekly Update tonight is very heavy in the picture department - shots from Comic-Con, shots of very cool fan-made armor sent to Bungie, shots of Shishka (okay, some of it could have been left out). There's also a recap of the 10-year-anniversary video released last week (this time around, you've got a link to a 720p version - I'd suggest you grab it), and a fun story about a celeb playing ODST. And there's lots of info about upcoming changes to Matchmaking playlists. Go give it a read! (Do I need to remind you that it's in our Weekly Update Archive, as well?) (Louis Wu 00:36:47 UTC)

Friday Comic Roundup
Here are the Halo-related comics we've heard about in the last couple of days:
- The Catfish released 2501 Episode 79 yesterday - thanks, urk.
- We mentioned Part 1 of the finale for Chaos Theory on Wednesday - since then, Adam Susskind has released Part 2 (Horizon's Finale), Part 3 (Some Kind of Therapy), and today Part 4 (The End). The Finale is... final.
That's it! Update: Bloogyo jumped in a little late with Rat's Nest Episodes 22-1 through 22-4 (see his post for links). Update 2: Reclaimer is a bit late, too - but back in action. Go check out Episode 205 - Flawed Intuition. There might be a problem... (Louis Wu 14:46:18 UTC)

Blomkamp says he's Halo'd out.
For those hoping that Neill Blomkamp would use the upcoming District 9 as a springboard to relaunch his shelved Halo movie... sorry. /Film's David Chen caught up with Blomkamp at Comic-Con yesterday, and asked about the possibilities... Blomkamp's done with Halo. Go read the article for full details. Thanks, BARBARIC RAGE. (Louis Wu 13:06:22 UTC)

Halo Legends, Waypoint revealed
A quick link roundup relating to yesterday's Halo panel discussion at the San Diego Comic-Con:
- The event was live-blogged by IGN and G4TV (thanks, 2900d4u)
- The trailer that showed on GTTV last night is now available online on GameTrailers (and elsewhere, of course, but since they're all stealing it from GT, I'm just linking to the original)
- There's Firefight play footage from the Microsoft booth at YouTube and GameVideos (thanks, Kibbles)
- NeoGAF's Voltron64 wrote up his experiences of the day
- If you log into Xbox LIVE, and visit the 'Inside Xbox' section, the current 'Major's Minute' feature has Major Nelson interviewing Frank O'Connor about both Halo Legends and Waypoint - a nice 60-second overview of the pair. (Thanks, Domino Theory.)
Our forum is chock-full of discussion about the Legends trailer, Waypoint, and the future of the Halo franchise. Funniest exchange of the night: Jayshum posted an image that summed up his (negative) feelings... and Frankie replied, Frank-style. Update: Gah, I totally forgot to include the multi-day coverage from Teabag Prevention's Jake108! Swing by and see what he has to offer. (Louis Wu 13:01:29 UTC)

Halo Legends - Anime Shorts
The Los Angeles Times has a story this morning about the blending of the roles of Hollywood and the game industry - and it reveals some of the material to be announced at the San Diego Comic-Con later today:
Microsoft is producing seven short films titled "Halo Legends" in the anime style. Five production houses in Japan are handling the physical animation, but Microsoft's creative staff is approving major visual and storytelling decisions, O'Connor said.
You can swing by this LA Times blog post for more details on the project, and a couple of examples of the artwork involved. (The post also confirms that the rumored internal name of the studio, '343 Industries', is indeed accurate.) There's no word yet on when these videos will be shown... or where. Look for much more information to be released later today! (Looks like resplendentvole found this at Kotaku earlier this morning. Our forum seems to be cautiously optimistic, though there is definitely some hatred for anime.) Update: There's an official press release that contains quite a bit more info about the entire project - who's involved, how the distribution will happen, and more. There are also details about a new LIVE feature:
A preview of select "Halo Legends" episodes will first debut on Xbox LIVE, the largest gaming and entertainment network in the world, starting this fall through a new experience called Halo Waypoint. Launching in fall, Halo Waypoint will be a new destination for "Halo" fans on Xbox LIVE around the world. It will inform fans of the latest "Halo" news and activities, and grant access to content ranging from podcasts, trailers and screenshots, to exclusive video footage you won't find anywhere else. It also will provide a new challenge for "Halo" gamers with a career system and player rankings tied to both in-game and out-of-game accomplishments related to "Halo." In addition to the limited, early episode premieres, Halo Waypoint will debut several behind-the-scenes videos that chronicle the making of "Halo Legends."
Look for more info about Waypoint later today, as well! (Louis Wu 12:07:27 UTC)

Weta's Halo products on display in SD
Weta's ramping up its Halo offerings - the Cortana statue we heard about last year is now shipping, and three new helmets - Mark VI Spartan (green), EVA (white), and CQB (silver) will be shipping later this year. (Folks at Comic-Con this week will be able to see these live.) The new helmets are 1/4 scale, cost roughly $65 US, and are in REALLY limited supply (300 of each are being made). Go see 'em!

Monday Comic Roundup
We haven't heard of many comics since Friday - in fact, just this note from Bloogyo, mentioning new episodes of Rat's Nest. Funnyless Monday! (Louis Wu 18:18:49 UTC)

Friday Comic Roundup
A couple of comic updates for you today: Dennis Powers let us know that the final episodes of Shipwrecked are now online (Episode 80, Episode 81, and Episode 82 were all posted yesterday), and the full comic is available for download as a PDF (maybe; I was having trouble getting a copy). More adventures involving the cast will be coming in video form, soon. Also, Bloogyo stopped in with word of a couple of new episodes of Rat's Nest - 21-2 and 21-3 are live now. Enjoy!

Minor (Proactive) Rumor-Busting
This hasn't actually been floated as a rumor - but there was a little bit of speculation about an announcement, so we thought we'd jump in early. Kotaku posted a note recently (thanks, CaptainTony) about an 'exciting unannounced project' that Microsoft will be bringing to Comic-Con next week - and even though there's no discussion in the story about what this might be related to, there WAS a little speculation that it might be about an upcoming Halo game from MGS. Frankie stopped into our forum to state that the Halo team at MGS is showing off something that's not a game - something that "on a scale from 1-100 in amazing-holy-crap-ness, it's not 100, but it's sure not 1 either." So: something cool is coming from the MGS Halo team. How cool? We dunno. Is it a game? No. We'll know more next week. (Louis Wu 17:09:10 UTC)

Monday Comic Roundup
A couple of new comics for you this morning: Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 79 - Doubt is live (our Marines are second-guessing themselves, and may be meeting more trouble soon), and TTL Demag0gue informed us that Reclaimer 203 - Manipulation - is online as well... it ties some interesting astronomical theory into our storyline.

Halo Panel at SDCC
San Diego Comic-Con is coming up in a couple of weeks (July 23-26, to be precise), and there's a panel on Thursday's schedule that will probably be of interest to Halo fans:
4:30-5:30 The Halo Franchise: What's Next — Frank O'Connor (franchise development director for Halo) will be joined by a number of special guests to discuss how Halo is evolving into a robust entertainment franchise and what's coming in the future. Room 6BCF
If you're going to be there, be sure to show up for that panel! (Louis Wu 15:20:17 UTC)

Friday Comic Roundup
Three new comics to mention today:
- Dennis Powers wrote to say that Shipwrecked Episode 78 - Reflection is online. There's something out there...
- Bloogyo linked us to Rat's Nest 20-6 and 20-7 - he's right, 20-7 is nearly impossible to read.
- TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Reclaimer 202 - Rivers of Information. Ferial's sharper than first appearances would suggest...
Go read! Update: Looks like Hawty McBloggy found another one - it's a funny little strip from DOGHOUSE, which looks to have been published a couple of months ago. (Louis Wu 14:47:01 UTC)

Dan Baker's Halo Comic is back
Whoa, cool. We haven't heard from Dan Baker since late March, 2008 - he was recreating the story of Alpha Halo, with all new artwork - but he's back now, with a new page (thanks, UNSC_Trooper), and apparently is ready to pick up the pace again! (Louis Wu 19:02:47 UTC)
