Dark Horse Comics has announced that in collaboration with Halo developer 343 Industries, the publisher is releasing a brand new Halo Encyclopedia book that "encompasses two decades of epic storytelling with stunning, never-before-seen art and the most comprehensive and detailed exploration yet of Halo's myriad characters, mysterious worlds, and incredible technologies."
