In Response To: Escalation #12 out now (Vincent)

: Didn't see any posts about this, but apparently it came out a couple of days
: ago. Concludes the "exposure" story.

Seems like the art has really improved- there was nothing that was distractingly bad, and some panels actually look pretty cool. Really dig the appearance of the Ibie'shan Kig-Yar queen- she's distinct from the males, but not in a "The-Duel-Sangheili-Lady" kind of way. Lasky probably always knew ONI was up to some shady shit, but I think he's starting to realize that he and the Infinity are being played. Maybe that will lead to something interesting- maybe not.

Other than that though, these arcs are way too short. Escalation needs a long-term story going, because I just don't get enough time to learn about or understand the characters that they keep introducing. When they introduced Vata 'Gajat, I was certain that he was going to be the big bad for the comic series, but then they just killed him off like it was nothing. There was no consequences at all. Infinity got damaged, and Lord Hood was severely injured- s'all good though, just patch them up, and it'll be business as usual.

I can't help but feel like Escalation is missing the point to having an ongoing comic series for Halo.
