Halo: Escalation #10

Halo: Escalation #10 (2014) delivers a tense, emotionally charged chapter in the ongoing war, as Blue Team emerges from their victory over the Didact with heavy cost. Written by Brian Reed and brought to life by Ricardo Sánchez’s dynamic art, with inks by Juan Castro and Michael Atiyeh’s vivid colors, the issue dives into the Chief’s struggle to move forward—haunted by Cortana’s loss, he pushes himself through relentless missions, turning away from the help he needs. Anthony Palumbo’s cover captures the weight of that resolve in a striking, grounded moment.
