Hello, everyone! There is a lot of amazing Halo fan-made content out there. From movies, stories and game mods to costumes and props - it’s a truly passionate and creative fan base. However, aside from Levi Hoffmeier’s astonishing A Fistful of Arrows, there have not been that many fan-made Halo comics or graphic novels.
We’re here to fill that gap. Introducing Aeolian Hope; a fan-made Halo webcomic set in the middle of the Human-Covenant War.
An overwhelming amount of the Halo games and supporting lore focus on the SPARTAN super-soldiers. The SPARTANS were a rare sight for most that fought during the Great War though, and were certainly an overpowering force wherever they were present. This disproportionate focus despite their relative scarcity, we feel, dilutes an understanding of how truly desperate the conflict was. Thus, our story chooses to focus on some of the ordinary soldiers who fought and died during this pivotal era. Aeolian Hope is a story about finding hope when there are no heroes coming to the rescue - it is a story about those who aren’t blessed by luck.
Since Aeolian Hope is a webcomic we will be publishing each new page as it is completed. Currently we are experiencing a roughly two week production cycle per page, so check back often for new content.
We hope you’ll check it out and let us know what you think. We’re incredibly excited to see this story unfold and hope you’ll come along for the ride with us!

In addition, we’ve been revamping a few features on the website, and we think it’s all turning out quite nice so far. These new features, some great preview art of upcoming content and more will be detailed next week in our Monthly Update. Then, we’ve got a fresh page coming out each week for two weeks after the April Update! A barrage of new content is coming down the pipe, so stay tuned!
Sorry for the URLs, by the way. I’m trying to make them clicky links, but for some reason the posts just ignore the [url*]xyzlink[*/url] commands I put in. =/
Also we’ve got May’s Monthly Update coming out next week, then Page 15 will be out the week following that. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading it so far!

Yeah, I spent 2 days trying to get it to work when I started, it wasn’t happening for me for some reason. =/ I’m wondering if it has to do with my rank?
