Book: Halo Uprising

I've read all of the Halo paperback novels and the graphic novel. So I was a little surprised that 1) I'd never heard of Halo: Uprising from Marvel, and 2) that the whole collection is coming out in hardcover.

Apparently this comic series takes place between Halo 2 and Halo 3. It's 168 pages all together, what was normally four comic books. It comes out on my birthday, so I'm pretty pumped about that.

I have to give it up to video game novels (and sci-fi as well). I probably hadn't really read gotten into reading until the Lord of the Rings movies came out. I read all three before the first movie. Then my reading schedule was pretty much dictated by movie releases and upcoming video games. Whatever it takes right?

In fact, on our trip to Cairo next week, I bought Penny-Arcade's third volume of comics and the Star Wars book, Death Star. It's been hard to leave those books alone for over a week.
