Human Shield: Scruggs takes Lord Hood as a shield to prevent anyone from attacking him. Palmer responds by (non-fatally) shooting Hood anyway before attacking Scruggs.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Halo: Escalation (Comic Book) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The official summaries of at least two issues have completely contradicted what actually happens within the comics released months later. Issue #5 suggests that Lasky's friend, Petra, infiltrates an Elite holy land in search of the identity of the traitor. Later shown to be a Sangheili colony on a backwater planet, where things are decidedly secular. Issue #6 says that the Infinity would free the Spirit of Fire from Vata 'Gajat, with Petra's search for the traitor leading to her possible death. Vata never had the Spirit of Fire, which never appeared for much more than a few pages, and Petra was never in any danger.

 Halo: Escalation (Comic Book) / int_241ca0d8
comment
Back for the Dead: In Issue 8, this happens to Spartan Team Black from Halo: Blood Line, who had not shown up in any Halo media since 2010 and were only confirmed to be alive less than a month before said issue came out. To top it off, their deaths happened offscreen; the next issue had a very brief flashback showing them encountering the Didact, but said flashback ends just as they're about to fight.

Revolvers Are Just Better: Petra Janecek owns a revolver which look strongly like a peacemaker (which would be over five centuries old by Escalation). And uses it to kill an Elite that was threatening her, Lasky, and Spartan Ray.

My Greatest Failure
 Halo: Escalation (Comic Book) / int_6ee10e0
comment
My Greatest Failure: Lord Hood's first command was to recover the log left by the Spirit of Fire at Arcadia without engaging Covenant forces. However, by that point a young Captain Hood was fed up with retreating from the Covenant, so he ordered his ship Roman Blue to attack a pair of Covenant destroyers. Hood was ultimately forced to retreat without recovering the log. Hood blamed himself and spent years supporting both Cutter's wife and daughter, and his mistress and illegitimate son.

Continuity Nod: All over the place: The UNSC Security Council first seen in Halo: First Strike makes an appearance in the opening issue. General Strauss, one of the members in First Strike, is also shown on the Council. While the Arbiter wears a new form of armor, Lydus's armor is reminiscent of Halo: Reach, and their Elite and Brute bodyguards wear armor from Halo 3. In issue 4, Fireteam Majestic rides booster frames seen in Halo Legends. Issues 4 through 6 center on the search for the Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars. Admiral Hood reveals that he used to be the executive officer for the Spirit, and regarded Captain Cutter as his mentor. It turns out to be a trap by Insurrectionists to attack the Infinity. Issue 7 sees Gabriel Thorne and Tedra Grant go the reopening of New Phoenix with a ceremony overseen by Unified Earth Government President Ruth Charet, who was first mentioned in Halo: Glasslands. In the same issue Grant tells Thorne that she grew up on Arcadia after it was first attacked by the Covenant, which was seen in Halo Wars.

You Don't Look Like You: Lord Hood looks nothing like his in-game self, who is an Ink-Suit Actor of Ron Perlman. This might be due to ownership issues, as the comics may not have the rights to Perlman's image. The Halo 2 Anniversary redesign of Hood also did away with most of his resemblance to Perlman, so this might just be a full visual retcon.

In Mysterious Ways: Sali 'Nyon uses this as an excuse when one of his subordinates questions him about not only their losses to 'Mdama, but the fact that the Promethean Knights continue to remain loyal to Jul, despite him being a supposed false prophet.

Enemy Civil War: In the Janus Key arc, Jul 'Mdama has to put down a breakaway faction of even more radical Sangheili led by Sali 'Nyon, at the same time as he's dealing with the Infinity's forces. Jul ultimately wins pretty easily, even managing to capture 'Nyon.

Depending on the Writer: While it may be a result of not seeing things through her perspective, Issue 1 shows Admiral Serin Osman in a much more antagonistic role than she was in the Kilo-Five trilogy, looking as if she wants to personally throttle the life out of Captain Lasky over whether or not he sabotaged her orders to kill Catherine Halsey. The Exposure storyline portrays Osman as even more sinister, in which she tricks Infinity into sending two Spartans into the middle of a Kig-Yar pirate nest (which she doesn't tell them about), which inevitably forces Infinity to destroy the pirate base in order to save the Spartans.
