Halo Volume 2 Escalation Paperback – Bargain Price, April 21, 2015

The book come in great condition and was a blast to read the book. It really helps fill what’d happens after Halo 4.

My son, a reluctant reader, was quietly and intensely glued to the pages of this book. When he finished reading he reverently put the book away on the book shelf and not the floor. That's a winner in my book.

Great book

It was...AMAZING! I mean.. Like..well I loved it XD I loved it and I love halo I'm almost at loss of words first volume 1. Now 2 ! YEA

This is a great add on the story between Halo 4 and Halo 5. It gives a little of insight of why chief went rogue

Probably the best thing I can say about Escalation in general is that it's very well-drawn and colored: the eye-candy is a great reason to pick up the comics alone. That said, the stories told in Volume 2 are... well...Without going too far into spoiler territory, Escalation sort of proves to me that 343 has a very poor idea of preserving universe elements: in addition to killing a major character (a protagonist) in a short story released a short time ago (New Blood), we see some of the best and most original characters, originally made for the Halo comics themselves, killed off in this volume. I don't mind the attempt to give some humanization to Chief and the Spartan-IVs that this volume sees, but I do resent 343's insistence on killing off nearly every established character in the series for the sake of making a point. At this point, it's not even alarming: it's just infuriating.Complaints out of the way, Escalation Volume 2 is pretty good, well worth about $10 to $12: the Kindle version is a bit annoying, as all graphical ebooks are, because of the lack of ability to control how you're reading it, the relatively low-resolutions you're able to view it in (they look fine, but you can never see enough detail, in my opinion), but for the convenience of carrying a few hundred or thousand pages of comics in your pocket, I can't complain too much.Overall, if you're a big Halo expanded universe fan, get it, especially if you want to have some backstory for Halo 5. Beyond that however, unlike some of the early comics or some of the novels, there's no reason to get this if you're new to the expanded universe: start out with the novels, the Fall of Reach comic series, or Uprising. Escalation is NOT the point to start at.

This gives more depth to the Halo universe continuing after halo 4. This definitely is a good series to read.

My son is really enjoying this series! It's been great to keep him reading over the summer!

A fantastic continuation of the post-Halo 4 storyline. The Master Chief issues were some of the best I've read. This entire series is a must read for Halo fans.

The more I read the many stories in this brilliant comic series, the more I think a Halo tv series would just work. The comic shows the stories dont just have to be about frontline war starring the Masterchief to be entertaining. The comic is absolutely essential reading for and Halo fan.

Dans Escalation 2, nous suivons le MC et la Blue Team pour un mission très intéressante, haute en couleur et intense.Je trouve que cette série est vraiment la meilleure sortie en BD par rapport à toutes les précédentes BD Halo, qui disons le, manquent souvent de fond. (je suis un très très grand fan de l'univers).Vivement le 3 qui sort dans quelques jours hihi.

Cette série de BD / Comics est très intéréssante, avec de belles illustations et une histoire plutôt intéressante, contrairement à certaines autres histoire de la saga.

great art scheme and cool way to show events between halo 4 and 5
