Subject: Does the Halo Comic announcement give any insight into the H3 relea...

An article on IGN discusses the announcement of a monthly Halo comic book launching in Summer 2007."Marvel and Bungie announced a Halo ongoing monthly comic book. Launching in summer 2007, almost nothing is known about the content, direction or even stars of the series." The article goes on to say "The book is likely to begin after the release of Halo 3. Though Bungie has not confirmed a release date for the final game in the trilogy, it would seem that an ongoing monthly would be the perfect way to continue the franchise going forward."
If the comic launches in summer 2007 but won't launch until after the game does this give any merit to the idea that the game will launch on 7/7/07. Could we be seeing collectors editions of the game packaged with the first issue of the new comic?
If this has been addressed somewhere else please post a link. I chekced through the last few days of posts and didnt see anything.

I am...whimsical today.

Interesting, but not from the horses mouth. Or Bungie's for that matter, so take it with a pinch of salt. Or a bowlful if need be :)

I agree. We all know Bungie says that if we dont hear it from them not to believe it, but at the same time they are teamed up with Marvel for this one. And Marvel, unless they want to screw up the opportunity of a lifetime in getting to team up with Bungie and the Halo franchise, wouldn't just throw out random speculation on a release date for the comic without the "OK" of someone from Bungie would they?

it will probably be end of spring/early summer 2007. You wouldn't launch a comic series right after you launch your 3rd big title.

I'm guessing we'll see Ghosts of Choral this winter, Halo 3 spring/early summer, and comic series by September 2007. (remember, september is still summer)

Good point, maybe a preview of the first issue gets packaged with the collectors edition as a teaser to pormpt you into buying into the comic (not that most folks arent going to snatch it up anyway). Maybe Im just a little too anxious to get my hands on more of the story. I just finished First Strike and am starving for something else. Your timeline makes sense though.
