Man! I would kill to draw that comic. But not to color. too big a pain.

I like Jim Lee, but he's not my favorite.

J. Scott Campbell, Joe Romata, or his son should do it. I mean, have you seen their works!!

Better yet, let me do it. I'm cheapper. LOL! I'm serious.

Would you be able to post links for each artist to some of there artwork, so that me and other non comicbook people can have more vote options than "Doesn't matter, so long as it's cool. " cause I personally am pretty clueless on who everybody is and what there artwork is like. thanx


-edit-

actually it seems im the only clueless person on this thread, so nvm

-edit- since i talked on this thread no one has said anything on it for like a day or two now... freaky

What makes a good comic?

My answer= A good hero or villian whatever pops your pimples.Story is important.The way it looks everything not just one thing or maybe im wrong i dont know

and ive heard of halo comics before but im sure they were just ideas and sketch's i dunno anyway halo would be a sweet comic if the story and -blam- goes together.

Right behind you on that post Driadon:) I love the Spawn comics. Don't really care for the movie, but I like the artwork that's always done for Spawn.

To be honest though I really don't care who makes the halo comic. Just as long it's worth reading and the artwork isn't crappy looking. That's just my opinion anyway.

I think Devil's Due would make a rockin' Halo comic. They've done a great job on GI Joe, and they've shown that they can do the gritty style that Halo needs. I don't really care who draws it, I'd be elated just to have a Halo comic.
Of course, the story contained can't be all style and no substance. We would need story-telling of the same epic scale and sophistication that Bungie brings to its product. Get a good writer, and the next sound you hear will be hundreds of thousands of nerd boners flaring to life.

Or.. you could give the license to Dreamwave, and let them make Halo vehicles into big stompy robots! Hello? This thing on? *tap tap*

I personally think that an artist like Alex Ross if not the man himself would make awesome Halo art. Seeing MC look that real would be friggin' awesome. As for writers I would have to leave that to the Bungie creative team. But if I absolutley had to pick some one outside Bungie I have to go with Joss Whedon because he can be as funny as he is serious and a Halo comic book would definetly need a nice balance of action, dramatics, and comedy. MC is an icon in the game world and I think out of any one I know of Whedon would have a good shot at pulling it off in a comic book. Thoguh he does have a little tendency to be a little corny overdramatic and that could go to horribley new and wrong places with MC and Cortana, and possibley even the Grunts. But realistically I would just hope that they find a really good unknown writer or a respectabley talented known one that is a really big fan of Halo.

As for the content of the comic I would have to say as with all good stories it would have to focus on the characters more than just the coolness of MC and the rocket launcher. There is a lot of potential in a Halo comic both good and bad, I would just rather see the former. I would also like to see the gadgets they would come up with for the book and an elite and a brute doing it like rhinos and producing some alien super beast that eats people like popcorn shrimp... that'd be COOL!

-- Now that I think about it I would like to write for a Halo comic book, because it would be like writting Homer's Oddessy except with pictures and a gamer fan base -- well and also the aliens and the futuristic technollogy and the uneccessary but mandatory alien voilence that secretly represent all the kinds of people the Bungie CORPORATION does not feel belong in modern society. Grunts - midgets: I have it on good authority that the people at Bungie have a fear of Small People. Elites - snooty rich people and the intellectually superior: who doesn't like them. Jackals - People dependent on man made equipment, i.e. the handicapped. Hunters - Brawny over aggressive egotistical morons: again, who doesn't like them. The Flood - chemically dependent homeless people: freedom terrorizes the employees at Bungie.

And yes I referred to Bungie as a CORPORATION! They are just trying to program us through their subliminal metaphores to destroy the aliens <a.k.a.> people in society that would get in the way of their plan for WORLD DOMINATION! They ARE trying to take over the world ya know.

I would still kill to write a Halo comic book even though I am highly underqualifed and a little, alright, well a lot crazy.

Your friend and Bungie's lowly competitor in the game of world domination - a guy in the know,

Lord Torso

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

You know what makes a great comic? Spontanuity (I hope I spelled that right). If they aren't spontaneus, they just aren't funny. It's also good if they are creative as well. Colin Mochrie is a good example. You never know what he's going to do.




For all you fools out there, that was a joke.

Hey man Stan Lee's art work sucks right now. I don't think hes drawn a comic in years.

That would be because Stan Lee never was an artist, but as was said earlier an "Idea Man" and writer.

I would think that a Halo comic should be an epic sci-fi/action story. It would need a writer who can handle a large scope to just how big the Halo world is. Brian Micheal Bendis(Powers, Ultimate Spider-man), Jeph Loeb(Batman: The Long Halloween, Superman/Batman), or maybe Geoff Johns(Flash, Teen Titans) would be good choices for writers. As for artists, I think Don Figueroa would be a good choice. He works on Dreamwave's Transformers comics, and would probably do a good job on the Master Cheif plus any vehicles, weapons, etc. His human forms are pretty good as well. Another possiblity would be to let a studio like Devil's Due or Udon do Halo. Devil's Due has done a good job with G.I. Joe, and even Voltron and Micronauts were well done. Udon's got some very talented artists, but I'm not sure if they've got the writing talents for it.


Joe Madueria is a great artists, but he left comics a few years ago to work in the game industry. While he's a good artist I don't think his style would really fit the Halo world.

Alex Ross' paintings are incredible, but they usually aren't dynamic enough for the amount of action a Halo comic would have.

I think that's an excellent idea. He's a talented fresh face, and his skills with all things mechanical are incredible. Incredible enough that Hasbro gave him a gig helping design some of the Transformers toys, in addition to drawing them in the comics.

Haha, I have spiderman 2 on dvd. among other newly released theater plays... but lets not get into that. That guy should stick to his comics... I think the artist of The Chronicles of Riddick should do it. I dont know his name. I think its Huge Johnson. Director of Photography. Or its the director. David Twohy. If you've seen the chronicles of riddick over and over like I have. You'll know...
