Talk:Halo: Uprising

Move to "Halo (comic series)"?
According to this article, "Halo: Uprising is a four issue mini-series". But they still talk about an "ongoing series", which is what Marvel originally announced - it sounds to me like Uprising is just the first story arc, after which the series will continue with further arcs starting with issue 5.

Basically: Can someone create an article covering the series as a whole? I'm not completely sure what it should be called, though, since Halo (comics) is taken. 68.44.13.236 18:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, as soon as we see that there will actually be an issue 5. 69.19.14.24 08:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes wait and see - the better name (folllowing Comic Project naming guidelines) would be "Halo (comic)". (Emperor 00:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC))


 * "It is a monthly series of mini-series that will explore different aspects of the Halo mythos," said Jayatilleke. "It was always planned to be a series of contained stories that Bungie and Marvel felt would further entertain fans of the epic videogame franchise as well as provide a gateway for new fans to step in and be captivated." http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=114288 69.19.14.27 21:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Plot
Where did all this plot stuff come from? Userpietalk to me! 02:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * It was copied verbatim from various places. I removed it as a copyright violation. Until there is a good reference for the plot (nut just a one-paragraph ad blurb), we don't have enough reliable sources to ad a description of the plot here. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Stub
It should remain a stub until it get a little expanded, a picture should not make it start class automatically. Since it has an external link for reception it needs to be improved. Do not revert my edit please until at least that is fixed.

Article Format
This article seems to be written almost as an... er, advertisement, rather than an article with information such as plot details. I haven't read these, but maybe someone who has should go over the article... 65.78.105.15 (talk) 23:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually haven’t read the other books, and it’s possible that the short info for the last three is in fact copyvios. I’ll take a look. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 00:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

GA
I see this has been nominated. I've dropped a note in at the Comics Project talk page so we can get an extra set of eyes - I've quickly skimmed through it and it looks solid and you've got plenty of sources from the more reliable online comics press. I did update the infobox to a more appropriate one and tweaked a few things but there are no major problems I saw.

I did find a review of the second issue at Comics Bulletin if that is useful. I'll have a look around and see if there is anything else I can dig up. (Emperor (talk) 13:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC))
 * I've added the review (and an IGN one I had forgotten about). -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 19:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Bendis caption
I didn't think of myself as a fanboy, but took issue with this description in the Bendis caption:

"Brian Michael Bendis struggled to create a proper tone for the normally-silent protagonist, the Master Chief".

I wouldn't describe Master Chief as normally-silent, he talks throughout the games - certainly engaing in conversation with his superiors and AIs. Furthermore, the source it is cited to says this:

"How did you deal with a main character that's faceless and almost totally silent? Brian Bendis: That was a bigger challenge for Alex. What I write in the script is any feeling or thought that he might be having and not expressing, and it's up to Alex to find that perfect body gesture that shows that off."

It is the interviewer's assertion that Master Chief is silent (elsewhere he is better described as taciturn) and even then, Bendis doesn't say it was a challenge. I have therefore changed the caption to "Brian Michael Bendis, writer for Halo: Uprising"

Who knew I was so pedantic?! Bigger digger (talk) 12:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
