Halo: Helljumper

Marvel’s Halo: Helljumper (2011–) is a single-issue comic that drops readers into the boots of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers—the iconic “Helljumpers”—of the Halo universe. Written by Peter David with art by Eric Nguyen, this one-shot follows a squad of ODST soldiers on a high-stakes mission, capturing the gritty, boots-on-the-ground perspective that contrasts with the super-soldier focus of the mainline games. It’s a concise, character-driven snapshot of the war against the Covenant, showcasing the human cost and camaraderie of those who leap from orbit into battle.
