I feel like this book satisfied me and hopefully any halo fan. It's main story follows 2 Orbital Drop Shock Troopers [ODST] Dutch and Romeo, on their mission to find out what the covenant are doing on a human colony planet and why they invaded it. It's a action thriller with friendship, action, and guns.

Great Book!

Art and visual style was nice. A lot of moments brought back fond memories of playing ODST. However, this is all a bit overshadowed by a storyline that felt rushed, predictable and somewhat dissatisfying.

loved it it was funny and exciting

Helljumper is a side story in the Halo universe focusing on the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) rather than the Master Chief or other Spartans.The two main characters are Dutch and Romeo, who you may remember from Halo 3: ODST. The story takes place before the game, and we get some insight into their personalities and why they act like they do. You also get a glimpse at how the Helljumpers see the Spartans, which differs greatly from the general populace. As far as the story goes - it's very...

Every Halo story has the same infuriating plot. "We just found the most amazing piece of technology in the history of mankind. But another species wants it, so let's just destroy it."That trope aside, it was enjoyable.

8/10

The art was probably what popped the most, it was really good art with the style of kinda paint splatter for blood and stuff, and yes theres a lot of blood. Its a little slow at first but gets much better towards the end. Plenty of action with a descent story and was overall really entertaining. Kind of short though. The only thing i didnt like was the ending was kind of fast, like the whole book was steadily paced but the end was just really fast like they rushed the last few pages.ART:8STORY:6...

This is a solid military science fiction story with strong characters and plenty of action. I bet it would look great as a movie. The humor is also welcome and humanizes the soldiers that could face a numerically superior army without flinching. The Halo universe has opened up to me somewhat and I think I'm hooked. I gotta read more stuff like this.An archeological site on the planet Ariel is invaded by the Covenant, though their usual modus operandi doesn't match. The elite marines named the He...

The Covenant comes to a remote world scouring it for some ancient tech. Two badass Helljumpers get separated from the rest of their platoon and do what they can to stop the Covenant. I really liked this. Peter David has written some great characters in Romeo and Dutch. It's exciting with a great dynamic between the two. My only complaint is Eric Nguyen's weak linework sometimes makes it difficult to tell what's happening in a panel.

Chill read. Not very deep, but it was nice seeing Dutch and Romeo's interactions.

Mostly good.It was fun, but mainly because it features characters from ODST. Honestly not a lot of plot structure, but a lot of good character interaction and some funny dialog. I would have liked to have seen how they came to serve with the others from ODST, but oh well. It seemed rushed, and didn't have a huge impact on the Halo 'verse, but it was entertaining enough.

I really enjoyed this! My boyfriend wanted me to read it, so I gladly went for it. He is really big on ODSTs so this was a perfect chance for him to show me what ODSTs do and introduce me to the main ODST characters. While I have had a couple brief previous forays into Halo (through the beginning of the Fall of Reach novel, the first few levels of Halo 1 and some multiplayer randomness), and had some basic knowledge, I'm really only starting to get into the world of Halo (thanks to my Halo-lovin...

Tem um vícios narrativos chatos e que tiram o impacto de muitas cenas que deveriam ser épicas, a arte as vezes não tem fluidez e não parece seguir um "flow" de um quadro pro outro, fazendo com que a leitura fique meio travada. Porém ainda assim divertidíssima, com personagens muito bem escritos e variados, eles tem PERSONALIDADE. Arte no geral muito bonita e cumpre satisfatoriamente o papel apesar de parecer meio rushada as vezes. Peter David é foda

For me, the best Halo stories are the ones that dive headfirst into the Halo universe's deep well of lore. Most of the games barely scratch at the surface of this universe, only lightly touching or referencing the deep mythology. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, since the action of the games themselves is so deeply satisfying."Helljumper" has the problem of trying to be more like the games than other stories. It's very light on the story, focusing on the bond-of-brother-soldiers thing bet...

This book was great gave me more information about characters in the halo universe. Got to see how freindships were formed and how vicious the covenant are when it comes to dealing with humans even if they are civillians.

There's nothing really wrong with this book, but it bored me to sobs. I'm not a fan of Halo in general, so I didn't expect much from the story -- good thing too, because it delivered exactly what I was waiting for: Fighting and more fighting and bundled-up bro-motions befitting a cliched repressed military narrative. Oh, they're so loyal to each other! (Don't get me wrong, loyalty is beautiful of course, but it is not a story in itself, and certainly not just because it's surrounded by aliens.)

Rating: 4 - Solid for a Halo fanNever heard of David or Nguyen, but they did really well! Either they were halo fans or somebody filled them in on the terminology. Personally, I love stories that focus on the little guys. In this case the "little guys" are ODST helljumpers. The comic isn't perfect. Some of the dialogue is cheesy, but it manages to capture that soldier bond so many novels and comics try to evoke. It manages to do so in only 5 issues while still having a tons of action. Good job g...

While not exactly the brainiest or most intellectually-minded piece of “Halo” canon I’ve had the pleasure of reading thus far, “Halo: Helljumper” more than makes up for any lack of big ideas with two big plusses: lots of bullets and lots of humor. As written by Peter David, with art by Eric Nguyen, “Helljumper” – which serves as a prequel to the “Halo 3:ODST” game – doesn’t have much more on its mind than giving readers a fun time. Want to read five issues consisting almost entirely of Colonial
