I, having admittedly having not played my Halo 3 in forever, didn't know hornets were in Valhalla.

Yeah, there have been some bugs with the Intense Debate commenting system periodically hiding previous comments. The issue seems to be worked out now, though.

Yeah, but I had a snow day and my 360 got the RRoD so I have nothing better to do all day. Also, I wrote first because my browser didn't show all the other replies until now

I'm always impressed by you guys who read through the entirety of the archives in one sitting. That's quite a lot to wade through at this point.

Jacked!
Wow! I've read 107 comics in one sitting. My brain hurts from all the plot twists! This is amazing so far. I can't wait to get all caught up!

(first?)

@ Jim- Hey..I noticed! Yes.. it is greatly enhanced. Now it seems like the diologue is coming from the battle, intead as from outside it, like it seemed. I am also glad that the cavalcada in his head aren’t making unnesesary comments about something about the todash gates that are in the structure…it takes from the action!

No back-seat killing is allowed!

Nevets 91: Thanks, man. I have to admit – it’s kind of difficult trying to get static images to reflect the pace of a battle (and I’ve tried to use reader criticism over the last few days to hone that kind of writing a bit). So it’s gratifying to have at least one reader remark that it’s working.

PikminGod: Yeah, it is pretty static, and I’m not a huge fan of it my own self. Unfortunately, them’s the limitations, as they say, of the Halo 3 engine. Honestly, I think it’d be cool if the hijacking process was more interactive – if, say, pilots had a chance to block a hijacking, and if the animation could reflect such a battle. It would add a whole new level of complexity to the game, and make for some really cool images for machinima and comics.

I hate the way skyjacking look sin halo 3…it looks like the guy is suddenly paralyzed and just letting you throw him out of the bird…as seen in image (insert image number)

Wow, great comic. I love the way you’ve made the dialog match the pressure put on Reclaimer in combat. Also, all the shots are great and bring something to the comic. The way you can see the bullets hitting RL in the face, awesome.

Sangheilioz: Oh, man – there was a whole sequence of shots right in that couple of seconds that all looked awesome. I actually had to trim them down quite a bit and just pick and choose a couple. That’s the only real problem with doing a comic like this – it’s hard to do justice to action sequences. Consider this all part of the learning curve. Hopefully, the next action sequence will be composed a little better.
