Re: Halo Uprising #2 review up at IGN

In Response To: Re: Halo Uprising #2 review up at IGN (reprobate) : It's Bungie's IP and their baby. They didn't have to have another comic made, : but they went ahead with Marvel anyway. Bungie often likes to state that : they try to put out only good quality products based on their IPs, and : Uprising just hasn't been up to par with the rest of the Halo series. All : of what you guys have listed have been the many failures of the series, : and there are other issues I have as well. The good things that I can name : in Uprising are basically OK artwork and the slightest nod to the novels. : Everything else was just plain bad. : I like the IDEA of following civilians on Earth as it is being wasted by the : Covenant, but it was handled so poorly in this series that I hope Bungie : doesn't do anything with that again unless they really work on it. I Love : Bees had a FAR, FAR superior civilian storyline in their game for Halo 2. : I'm disappointed especially because of what the IGN review brought up was : probably valid; Uprising just doesn't do justice to the Halo back story. : This was a big chance for Bungie to prove to a new audience that they had : more depth to their stories than shoot-the-aliens-in-their-friggin-face, : and it didn't show through. Merely hinting at the existence of the novels : doesn't do the overall Halo story justice. There is so much potential : there for Halo and comics, and Bungie really does care about their : stories, so I have faith that they can see what went wrong and fix it in : the future. Get new people on any future potential comic series and : hopefully a new publisher, and go from there. I've been saying this since I read issue 1. Can this series now. Halo Uprising is something bungie needs to walk in and say NOT CANON. keep bits and pieces canon but just flat out say it's not canon.
