Subject: Halo: Spartan Black - Prequal to Halo: Reach?

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

Question:

If Halo: Uprising was a prequal to Halo 3 and Halo: Helljumper is a prequal to Halo 3: ODST, then is Halo: Spartan Black supposed to be a prequel for Halo: Reach? If so, then they are producing this series waaay too early if you ask me. They should delay it about a year.

Backstory:

Halo: Helljumper starts with the first issue later this month. I'm obviously going to check it out. It is the offitial prequal story to Halo 3: ODST. Apparently, the five-issue series ends right where the new game starts.

Back on 2/9/2009 (a while ago) Marvel announced these two series, Halo: Helljumper and Halo: Spartan Black. Here is the article. They were very vauge in all of there explanations. Apparently, they didn't want to give away a lot of the spesifics. Since then, they've given us a lot of information on Halo: Helljumper, but have not told us much about Halo: Spartan Black, besides that it takes place before the Battle of Reach and who the writers are.

Theory:

My guess is that this series is the prequal story for Bungie's 2010 game, Halo: Reach. The four characters in this image could be the members of that squad seen in the trailer. Perhaps this is the way that Bungie plans on revealing their characters in a sort of "secret" fasion.

Now that you've read my ramble, what are your thoughts?

Loyalty is all I have.

sounds like a solid theory, we will just have to wait to find out.

What would account for the armor inconsistancy though?

So they got Mark VI before the battle of Reach?

Possible, since it doesn't say they didn't manufacture them before John got his new armor at Cairo Station.

Or when the rest of Blue Team got their armor upgrades from Halsey during the First Strike book.

But still, l don't know. Mark VI armor doesn't seam like it should be around so early in the timeline. l don't think it shoudl be there.

Sounds like one of the more plausible theories. Also, you can read more about Spartan:Black here.

In the interview, it says it is a different kind of armor.
