If you're looking into getting Escalation, start with the Next 72 Hour arc (Master Chief one) since that takes place right after Halo 4

You're pretty much good to read the rest in any order I think, but you may want to read 11/12 before the Absolute Record arc. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

also, what order do the halo comics go in? I can't remember and my friend loaned them to me today
No specific order, really.
Oh okay, thanks anyway.
which ones did your friend give you?
The graphic novel (which I read last night), helljumpers, initiation, escalation, blood line...

I know there's more, I'm thinking of buying them.

You can get most of the novels for free (audiobook version) on YouTube.

Initiation was eh. Escalation is okay - the "Next 72 hours" arc is good. It's set directly after Halo 4.
You'd be best reading the Initiation comics before the Escalation comics though.

But yeah, you can mostly read them in any order.

Looks worse than Halo 4's prologue and epilogue.
Good joke
Those cutscenes are fantastic.
I never said those cutscenes were bad, I was saying Halo 5's were a downgrade.

Aside from 72H and issue #7 and issues 17 and 18 (The glass horizon, Tanaka's intro arc) you'll want to read them in order. Spirit of fire follows diplomatic meeting, the Kig-Yar pirates follow Spirit, Janus Key follows Kig-Yar and Absolute Record follows Janus.

I know about the book, and yes it's Rtas. I meant in the games.
The book is called 'Shadow of Intent' for a reason.

Y'know, I've just realised Osiris comes from four different branches of the UNSCDF.

Locke = ONI
Vale = Navy
Tanaka = Army
Buck = Marines

Well, I suppose ONI is technically Navy but they're practically a branch of their own anyway.

I always liked that line.
