Panels 2, 4 and 5 are fantastic. This just keeps getting better!

re: Sangheilioz – Oh, you assume too much. :) No, actually, I have the general idea of the story in my mind (and outlined VERY briefly on paper). Mostly, though, I write it as I go, with about three to five days written out ahead of time and an idea of where I’m headed in the long view. :)

re: natedogr – Yes, that WOULD be interesting. ;-)

re: professor sour – It generally takes me about an hour or so per page. About 30% of this time is spent working directly inside Halo 3 to generate my shots. The rest is Photoshop time.

re: Jimbomonkey1234 – Bungie’s been very good to me on that front. Thanks for the info. I’m going to dig through Ascendant Justice’s archives today and see what else I can glean.

I’ve already done some research on the Precursers, and here’s what I got.

1) The Precursers were an entire Tier of technology above the Forerunners.

2) They left behind technology, which might have helped the Forerunners, much in the same way that Forerunner technology has helped the Covenant.

3) They perished by unkown means, and left behind a code of rules called the “Mantle.” This states they must preserve all sentient life in the Universe. Hence, the index.

I found your comic today, thanks to Bungie, and have read every single one, from first to last. All I can say is, great job.

EDIT: To natedogr : That’s not known. Not for sure. He is said to come from another Galaxy, but the Forerunners encountered the Flood long after they had reached their peak.

It would be interesting if Gravemind is speaking this dialogue. If that is true, then in this haloverse, he predates the forerunners.

Oh what a tangled web you weave, I wonder how many iterations your storyline went through before arriving in it’s current form? (I am, of course, assuming you have the entirety of the story written out somewhere)

re: dark sparten – Hehe, wouldn’t that be an interesting twist.

re: amazingjakeo – No joke! The Bungierush Special is always good for higher visibility. Believe me – I love it!

re: natedogr – I’m going to demonstrate my general comic ignorance by saying this, but I’m not really familiar with either of those. :)

re: spartn117 – Something big, yes. Soon? Well… soonish, anyway. ;-)

re: PikminGod – Yeah, I saw that. I just have to decide if I actually want to work it into the story somehow or just pretend it doesn’t exist. :)

re: Uzi_Master – Huh, Precursors. I’m not familiar with those. Guess it’s time to go do some research and see if I can find something out about them. They sound interesting. :)

re: Foxboy – D’oh! You caught me, Skippy. It’s both! ;-)
