C2E2 2013: Dark Horse Brings You New Halo Comics

Ever wonder what it must have been like for Sarah Palmer to start out as a rookie? Announced at C2E2, Dark Horse Comics is bringing readers an exciting new miniseries, "Halo: Initiation." Launching in August, this miniseries will be written by Brian Reed ("Halo: Fall of Reach") and with art by Marco Castiello ("Star Wars: Purge").
Dave Marshall, Dark Horse Editor, had this to say about exploring the "Halo" universe. "A rich science fiction universe driven by compelling characters, 'Halo' has all the makings for show-stopping comics. " About the creative team-up, Marshall added, "In 'Initiation,' Brian and Marco are delivering an action-packed thrill-ride with a beating heart of authentic human drama."

Synopsis:

Before she was a super soldier defending humanity as part of the Spartan-IV program, Sarah Palmer was an ODST—Orbital Drop Shock Trooper—carrying out the most dangerous missions behind enemy lines! See how she became the first Spartan-IV commander in this must-read series for fans of "Halo 4" and the "Halo" franchise!

Writer Brian Reed said, “It’s really exciting to work with Dark Horse in continuing the 'Halo' story in comics. After 'Halo 4' and 'Spartan Ops,' fans wanted to know more about the origins of the Spartan-IV program and Sarah Palmer in particular. So it’s great fun to be able to grant those wishes with a partner like Dark Horse.”

As a fan of the shooter game, I'm very interested in reading a prequel about Sarah Palmer, who was originally introduced in "Halo 4." How does someone like Palmer end up becoming a commander of the Spartan forces? What kind of tough choices did she have to make? With so many questions about Palmer's origin story, I'm definitely going to pick up and follow the "Halo: Initiation" miniseries when it hits stores

Cates & Reznicek Debut BUZZKILL!

From the minds of Donny Cates (Hunter Quaid) and Mark Reznicek (percussive force of the Toadies) comes a brand-new superhero series that packs an eighty-proof punch. Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to announce Buzzkill!

Ruben is not your average alcoholic; he’s an unstoppable superhero who derives his powers from imbibing massive amounts of alcohol. After all the disasters it’s caused in his personal life, he’s ready to get clean . . . and the city’s supervillains couldn’t be happier!


“What I like so much about the book is that while it has these wild superhero trappings, at its core it’s a very sweet and very personal story about the relationship between power and addiction, and the very real consequences of both,” states Donny Cates. “It’s something that really interests me, and I think that sometimes we approach issues like these in comics as punch lines. What we’ve really tried to do here is take something really devastating and horrible, and examine it through a very familiar terrain. Also, there is a character named Panteradactyl. So there’s that.”


In this wildly gorgeous new four-part miniseries from artist Geoff Shaw (Batman 80-Page Giant) and colorist Lauren Affe, Buzzkill is drunk with power!


“Working on Buzzkill is kinda like hanging out in a bar, drinking beers and doing shots with your buddy, and discussing the weirdest, wildest, most effed-up stuff you can think of to put in a comic. In fact, that’s exactly what it’s like,” says Mark Reznicek. “Donny Cates is the evil genius of comics, so it’s a total blast to work with him. If you ever wanted to see what a drunken, superpowered barroom brawl looks like, or wondered what would happen to bears in the airless vacuum of space, or wanted to see a baboon in a business suit . . . Buzzkill is the book for you!”

Buzzkill #1 is on sale September 18 in comic shops everywhere!
