Halo canon lovers rejoice. Dark Horse is taking another online game franchise to print in Halo: Escalation. The UNSC flagship Infinity may be the centerpiece for the comic’s first issue. The author is none apart from Chris Schlerf, the lead writer of Halo 4. 

The events in Halo: Escalation begin with the Infinity being assigned an escort mission for the covenant. In fact, things don’t go in response to plan. You could read the synopsis at the website and get excited for the primary issue on December 11th.

Our Take
The synopsis means that the series will occur before the events of Halo 4 and Spartan Ops. Before serving as an exploratory ship, Infinity fought inside the Sangheili civil war. My guess is that the series begins after the signature battles at the Elites’ home world. 

Even though Master Chief might sit this series out, it’s exciting to look comics expand a video game’s universe. A deeper have a look at Infinity might possibly be interesting.
