In Response To: Black team *SP* (Dervish)

: Meh, there are an awful lot of minimally-characterized teams of army guys in
: the Halo Universe these days. Grey, Blue, Black, Majestic, Buck's
: team...it seems reasonable to me for 343 to trim some of the fat, and I'll
: bet Black would be near the bottom of most people's favorites list.

Honestly, I feel like Black Team was the least compelling of all the ones you've listed. At least in Blood Line, they read like amateurish fanfic. They wear black armor unlike all the other Spartans, they get special equipment other Spartans don't get, one of them gets paired an AI even though that was supposed to be unique to the Chief, etc. And I found both their stories kind of forgettable.

As for Escalation as a whole, I've been enjoying it. The art doesn't bug me, but the pacing really has been. The story ideas are there, but they just come off way too rushed to fully develop. Which is a shame. They either need to lengthen the story arcs to get more development out of them, or do less-frequent, longer issues, without the pressure of trying to cram everything into a single shorter issue.
