 Halo: Initiation (Comic Book)
comment
Halo: Initiation is a 2013 three-part comic series published by Dark Horse Comics set in the Halo universe. Set just around the end of Halo 3, the series serves as a lead-in to both Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo 4's Spartan Ops campaign.Humanity's war against the Covenant has just ended, but its troubles are far from over, as Covenant remnants and human Insurrectionists alike seek to destroy the UNSC. In response, Spartan-II washout Musa-096 decides to create a new generation of Super Soldiers, the Spartan-IVs, with Edward Davis and former ODST Sarah Palmer among the elite few selected for the program's first class.However, the UNSC isn't the only group trying to upgrade its forces; an Insurrectionist group known as the New Colonial Alliance plan to steal the UNSC's new flagship Infinity for themselves, with the only people standing in their way being Palmer, Davis, and a few other rookie Spartan-IVs.

Body-Count Competition: A variant between Palmer and Davis when they bet on whether Palmer can defeat her target before Davis can take down the other Insurrectionists in the room. Davis wins.

Foregone Conclusion: Considering that the Infinity shows up as an allied ship in Halo 4, we already know the Insurrectionists are not going to succeed in taking it.

Psycho Prototype: Insurrectionist leader Ilsa Zane is revealed to be from an earlier phase of the SPARTAN-IV program that tried to create soldiers who could replicate previous Spartans' physical abilities without MJOLNIR armor. The other subjects all died, but Zane simply went insane.

Hostage Situation
 Halo: Initiation (Comic Book) / int_44bed14c
comment
Hostage Situation: After the Insurrectionists take over the Infinity, they take most of the crew hostage and threaten to space everyone aboard if anyone interferes. Lasky and Del Rio solve the issue by shutting down the security systems long enough for the good guys to retake the ship.

Badass Normal: The Marines who managed to take out four Spartans during a training exercise. True, they still lost. True, the Spartan trainees were unarmored and still getting used to their augmentations. But still, that's a pretty good showing for the Marines, considering that said trainees were actually all already seasoned veterans. Bonus points for the Marine who managed to both dodge one of Scrugg's punches and knock him out with one swing of his rifle.

Saved by Canon: Since Palmer, Davis, Lasky, and Del Rio had already appeared in Halo 4 and Spartan Assault, both of which chronologically take place after Initiation, it was obvious that they would all survive the comic's events.

Establishing Character Moment
 Halo: Initiation (Comic Book) / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: While still an ODST, Sarah Palmer takes on a Brute Chieftain single-handedly and also grenade-flips a Warthog. Musa-096's disdain for both Dr. Halsey and the UNSC brass in general is evident right from the start, as is his admiration for the accomplishments of his Spartan brethren.
