Dark Horse Books has announced that it will publish a new edition of the original Halo graphic novel later this year on August 11th. This marks the first time that the collection of comics has been in print in over a decade and the first time that Dark Horse Books has published it at all given that the original was first published by Marvel Comics in partnership with Bungie.
