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.

Hahahaha!

(a) I don't mind Bendis, in fact I rather like the stuff of his that I have read (Powers, Alias, Daredevil)

(b) I am not a mindless Bendis fanboy, buying all the stuff he writes, so I guess that leaves me relatively safe from over-exposure

(c) I like Maleev's art, even if it's most significant component is (or appears to be) a photocopier

(d) I have zero exposure to Daredevil outside of Bendis, and it was really only the combination of his dialog and Maleev's art that led me to read DD anyway

(e) I really wish it were Mitch Gaydos instead of Maleev
