I have news, and I have bad news. FIrst off, Marvel is going to Halo comic book series. That's the news. Now, while Halo is ten kinds of awesome as a game, it doesn't really interest me as a comic book. Especially in light of this little bit of news:

naming Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev as the surprise creative team on the new series.

Okay, yeah. I'm not really physically capable of reading Bendis' Spider-Man, where a quippy light hearted hero is appropriate. I find his Avengers to be my green kryptonite. But Halo? An SF war story? I can't really see it working.

I like Bendis, but is Marvel just going to have him write everything?

Although a Giffen/DeMatteis-written Red Vs. Blue would catch my interest ...

I'm pretty 'meh' on his stuff, but at least I save money on comics shopping that way.

They were, but he couldn't keep up with the workload, so Mark Millar's taking half.
