So the Absolute Record/Janus Key story arc that will get underway in Halo:Escalation next month, is a 6 part storyline according to http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/26-634/Halo-Escalation-21
But if my maths/dates is correct, that would mean it will end in November…which is after Halo 5 is released which may very well feature the Absolute Record/Janus Key…
This seems a bit of an oversight if the aim is to have the games a very core part of the overall universe
Unless the arcs converge in October and the last Absolute Record issue somehow acts in the aftermath of Halo 5 in November

Maybe they don’t want to spoil some information. Kind of like what they did with the Forerunner Trilogy. They waited to release the last book after Halo 4 was released.

Good point
I mean, it’s just a guess but who knows how the schedule was worked out.
Technically, it’s worth noting that we don’t have the official release date for any of the issues past issue #21. DecepticonCobra is right, maybe they’ll move to a bi-weekly release schedule (or something) to wrap it up before H5.

its possible they will release a double issue in October.
Has is been confirmed as a 6-parter? Because maybe it’ll wrap up 5 in and the last will just be a stand alone story. (although this is probably very unlikely)

It’s 6 parts the link provided says this. Also considering the spartan on the cover of issue 21 has the same armor of one of Lockes teammates I doubt it’s after halo 5 guardians. And if it is so what? I would like continuous story.
