Plot
Issue 1
The story picks up right after the events of Halo 2, and follows three concurrent storylines as the Human-Covenant War escalates. The first concerns the Master Chief aboard the Forerunner ship he stowed aboard before its takeoff from High Charity. On course for Earth, the Chief is rendered unconscious and captured by an overwhelming Covenant strike force. Meanwhile, on Mars Colonel James Ackerson is similarly captured and subsequently tortured by Covenant forces, to whom he betrays the existence of something called "The Key of Onsanalan." Further abuse forces him to give up Cleveland, Ohio as the location of the Key. In Cleveland, the narrative follows the point of view of a hotel worker observing in horror the siege of the city. In the mayhem he meets a woman trying to keep her wits about her, while he edges closer and closer to all out panic. As they and the populace of the city are rounded up and herded into a local sports stadium, he reveals to his new companion that not only does he know what the key is, but also where it’s located!
