  Despite a few action scenes that I felt were a bit disjointed the story is pretty exciting through the first half. My other favorite part of this book is the actual explanation of becoming a Spartan-IV from Sarah Palmer's perspective. The technical and medical aspects of her transformation surgeries and upgrades were really well put together. From there I felt the comic struggled to fit all they wanted into just 3 issues. There are other team members waiting to be established as well as an interesting villain with a plan that I wanted to know more about, but those ideas were not expanded upon much in just 3 issues. Overall I liked most of what I read but was a little let down that there wasn't more content for a collected story. I hope to read more stories about Sarah Palmer from Dark Horse in the future because this was an interesting look at the Halo Universe from the perspective of a character that has a lot of potential.
