The story of how Halo’s Master Chief was created will be revealed by Marvel Comics this September.

Halo: Fall of Reach Boot Camp #1, will explore the secrets of the planet Reach in an adaptation of Eric Nylund’s New York Times best-selling novel. Writer Brian Reed will be scripting the adaptation, and artist Felix Ruiz will be putting a face to John, the young Master Chief.

Marvel Senior Vice President, Development & Planning, Print, Animation and Digital Media Ruwan Jayatilleke said: “The Halo universe has produced some of the most compelling science fiction action epics of the century and Fall of Reach is right up there. If you’ve never experienced Halo before, this is a great place to jump on board.”
