    Yikes not what i expected to happen, was there another hornet? ouch!
    To Bad Viper-1 wasn’t killed in that explosion

    Good comic Jim, I can just imagine the action unfolding. Something to smile about

    I suspect Ferial of coming in to the rescue, would make a good plot pitch!

    lol stop trying to guess the plot because he will only think of something else that is not what you think it is :P

    your just making his job harder =D

    i like the way you move the action all over the map that way it doesnt feel so much like our playing in valhala but some new environment :)

    Poor RC, can’t seem to catch a break, can he?

    Bearded Phantom: Pish. Ferial ain’t coming to anybody’s rescue. He’s far more important things to do. ;-)

    larrykan: I actually enjoy reading everyone’s speculation. If nothing else, it’s typically good for a laugh. :)

    Sangheilioz: Well, you have to remember that the Reclaimer is going up against soldiers who are more advanced than he is. The only reason he’s lasted as long as he has is because of the shield boost the Cavalcade have given him – a boost which is gradually degrading the very armor he relies on to do battle.

    PEACE i just wanted to throw out the fact that that recon looks nice and Reclaimer has had my attention for awhile now and i enjoy how cool this stuff really is. 1

    WARGHOST2012: Yeah, I love the way the Recon helmet looks in these screenshots. It was sort of a whim to have Viper-1 dressed in Recon, but now I’m really glad I opted to go that way with it. Mad props to Oboe for letting me borrow her time and her avatar to film this sequence. :)

    the tank is on fire…

    “run hard…hard….down life’s dusty road”
    lawls good action comic, but why did the hornet crash?

    ^-^Well you see, there are eight pedels in the hornet and it only moves when one is depressed.
    Also, that’s what happens when you hijack a flying vehicle in Halo. I’m not sure, but I think the falling influenced the direction of the comic. I’m not too sure Jim wanted that to happen.

    Yay, the tanks really getting into the action now.

    One thing I just thought of, how could you show armor that is deteriorating in the Halo engine?

    Wait..in halo…hijacking doesnt make it explode…Nevets… it is just a dramatisized effect. What happened to Viper 1? And the Hornet? Where did that come from?

    PikminGod: It didn’t crash. Notice the two booms? Yeah, the tank shot it out of the air.

    Nevets 91: No, I really hadn’t planned for that. I had actually planned to actually fly the Hornet around a little bit, but part of the fun for me was taking the circumstances generated and weave them into the story.

    mysterioso2006: Viper-1 was ejected and is likely now scurrying about the ground somewhere. And what? You think Viper only had one Hornet parked at the base? :)

    @ mysterioso2006: I know, it just makes you stop flying. but, that would be too easy.
    Plus, it filled the explosion quota for this comic

    @Nevets91 : As I recall in earlier Halo incarnation’s cut-scenes shield damage is represented by the same crackle-arc-ing effect you see (as in H3) when you’ve just unloaded a clip right before the beat-down; Being a comic-capture allthough only briefly seen in H3 game-play (exception of no shield recharge like with Black-Eye skull on in campaign and some specific game-types) A well timed shield depletion could do the trick…

    Sorry Time Escapes me…. NMJ out

    Big kabooms, replacements to the hornet he busted, a plan that everyone can agree to and can understand easily.

    Blend all of them together: Boom Boom, good comic.

    @ Danthaman aka AXel wiresmith: Actually, I was talking about armor deterioration, as in falling apart, not shield damage But, thanks for the explination. That Black-Eye skull is pretty fun.
    Smack-A-Hoe.
