On the Amazon page linked to from this article the book is titled: Halo: The Graphic Novel, not the Halo graphic novel as shown in the article. RayGates 00:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I updated a lot of infromation on the main page so i hope that is ok, edit it if you want, i also added a picture of the front cover
Many of the links of the artists lead to non-corresponding people, many of whom are deceased sport stars. 211.26.110.142 13:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, all the links have been updated with the proper corresponding people, i did have trouble finding four people sites, but i believe i found them. Any error tell me and i will look for them -- 86.142.68.104 14:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Has the Legate been assimilated by the Flood? While it is certainly possible that he was, this isn't shown in the comic (and I suspect that such an important event would be displayed) and the Phantom that the Legate's team was to summon was waiting at the end of the comic for Rtas to escape. We also have no idea if any other Prophets were on board the ship or not, and if there were, they could also have been assimilated. In the effort to prevent an edit war from starting, I'd like to discuss whether this is the case or not. Peptuck 21:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

In my opinion, yes he has been assimilated by the Flood, as i am the one who keeps putting it up there =P. But simply at the top of page 50, if that isn't an assimilated Legate, What creature is it then? From my observation; its face looks like a Legate, it even has those dangling balls things from the Legate’s face. It has all the facial similarities that match the Legate, the shape of its head and the position of the eyes. If you took away that flood infested body in the background, How can that not look or be a Prophet?
Now I will admit there is a very remote possibility that, yes it may be another prophet, but I highly doubt it. For one the lesser Prophets wouldn't travel around in two's or more, except for the three main ones. Also on page 38, the Legate says "they came aboard and I locked down the primary systems and came here", doesn't that first singular pronoun "I" give you a big hint that he is the only prophet aboard, and that he "by himself" locked the systems down, and also the fact that he is the only one in the locked room. Also if another prophet had been assimilated, wouldn't they now know how to get into that room?
We know they signalled the Glorious Advance drop ship, but we have no idea if they made it safely off with Rtas, there is no evidence to support if they are also on the ship. Who knows the group could have been attacked before the ship came, they could have been pushed into another room, and there are a number of possibilities. Also we didn't see the assimilation of Regret, he was already assimilated into Gravemind and is almost apart of his body.-- 86.130.132.171 00:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

If this “second” prophet is so important then why did they not show him? And wouldn’t R’tas have made a comment or query about a Prophet being missing, if there indeed was meant to be two on board. Also a Prophet not telling another Prophet that he has a room for protection and study, which no one else knows about, would not be a secret to just one Prophet.
The most obvious and glaring reason that that first came to my mind was a conflicting of orders, contrast this between Mercy and Truth; Mercy was reactionary and authoritarian nature, “make an example out of him”. While Truth has a manipulative nature of using people for his own needs. It is a simple thing of individuality and every one is different, one must be offence, while one is defensive and another goes a different route. It would be very conflicting for an order to be done properly with so many different opinions.
The difference between Regret (assimilated) and Legate (assimilated) is that Gravemind used Regret, by reanimating his body, so that his views could be argued. While the Legate was just assimilated not reanimated like Regret was.
Your argument about having “two” prophets is not conclusive or verifiable either.
But I would like to thank you for putting up “Near the end of the story, Rtas is confronted by a Flood "brain form" entity on the monitor, which bears a resemblance to the Legate that was on board. Whether the Prophet in question was or wasn't consumed by the Flood is unconfirmed.”-- 86.138.73.141 00:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I'd say having a little more to explain wahat happens throughout the novels is perfectly fine, as long as we don't get all crazy and overboard. Dåvid Fuchs ( talk / frog blast the vent core!) 16:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Please fix the minor requirements for completeness sake. Also, once you're done do rate the other articles on the good articles nomination page after comparing with WP:WIAGA. Zuracech lordum 15:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
There are some things that have to be done- proper lead and refs, for instance, plus some info updating- but this could conceivably be a FA. Anyone gonna help? David Fuchs ( talk) 00:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Image:Halocomicbook.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
