HALO GRAPHIC NOVEL STORMS BOOK MARKET SALES CHARTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press Release

Based on the best-selling videogame, the Halo Graphic Novel reached #2 on the BookScan list of graphic novels sold in bookstores, the highest position of a non-manga, non-movie tie-in graphic novel in years. It also debuted at an impressive #33 on Amazon.com.

In fact, the Halo Graphic Novel has sold so incredibly that a second print will be available within weeks.

The reviews have been pouring in from numerous media outlets praising the video-game’s expansion into the world of graphic fiction.

Andrew Smith of Scripps News Service says, “It's an excellent graphic novel for comics fans…it's also undoubtedly a must-buy for anyone who loves the game because it fills in so many blanks.”

Hilary Goldstein of IGN.com says, “Considering the large audience who has played these games, this is a book that belongs in a few million homes. Master Chief's first journey into comics is a brilliant success.”

Wayne Oliveri of UGO.com says, “Marvel knows how to make comics, and this hardcover has the highest production values. It's a colorful, well-designed book.”

Wook Kim of Entertainment Weekly says, “All in all, this is an impressive effort, given a handsome and solemn presentation.”

The Halo Graphic Novel features four full-length stories by several well-known comic writers and artists including Moebius, Simon Bisley, Tsutomu Nihei, and Jay Faerber as well as a gallery of illustrations by both Bungie artists and other comic book artists.



The Halo Graphic Novel is a 128-page full-color hardcover for a retail price of $24.99 that no comic or Halo fan should be without.

I was curious as to how well this was doing.

I was kind of thinking that If it done well marvel may think to release more OGN.

I read reviews and for the most part....it wasn't very good.

I haven't seen a bad review on this yet. Though I'm sure those not into graphic novels might give it a bad review as the Christian Websites tend to give poor reviews to violent films in general.

I'm a big Halo fan and I really enjoyed it.

If you like Halo and you want to know more about the Halo mythos then its definately worth it. Otherwise its probably not good for much
