After conquering the video game space and performing well in movie form, it seems that Halo is poised to once again launch an assault on the comic book space, with a new Escalation series set to launch on December 11.

Frank O’Connor, a director at developer 343 Industries, tells Polygon that "Yes, I can confirm that we are working on a Halo comic book series with Dark Horse."

It seems that the narrative structure of the comic book series will be handled by the same writer who managed the creation of the story for Halo 4.

Talent linked to Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Star Wars will handle the art.

No information was revealed about the core character of the Escalation comic book.

During E3 2013, Microsoft teased another Halo video game project for the Xbox One.
