	The Ballad of Halo Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Halo Jones first appeared in five-page instalments in the pages of the weekly British comic 2000 AD An overt attempt to bring a female perspective to that notoriously testosterone-fuelled publication, it was embraced by readers of both genders and is regarded as one of 2000 AD's high points.
		The boy band Halo James was named after the eponymous character, while the 1980s pop band Transvision Vamp released a single entitled, as a homage, "Hanging out with Halo Jones".
		In Book Three Halo, ten years older, has become a soldier serving in a Vietnam-style guerilla interstellar war which has appeared as backstory in the previous two books, and is courted by a famous, fearsome-looking general.

		It was great for setting the tone, but terrible at making me connect with Halo, who doesn't really come alive as an everywoman protagonist until she is tossed into a situation as foreign to her as it is to us.
		To make an absolutely terrible comparison, Halo is a lot like Forrest Gump, strangely wandering into most of the interesting events during the times she lives in and serving as a grounded, normal viewpoint character with which the reader can interact with fantastic characters.
		Halo is at times a downright tragic affair, and indeed her entire life is something of a tragedy.

	The Complete Ballad of Halo Jones (2000 AD Collector's Edition) : Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The "Ballad of Halo Jones" is one of Alan Moore´s earliest works, and orignally appeared in serial-form in Britain´s 2000AD magazine during the early 1980s.
		The Ballad of Halo Jones is one of the more extraordinary things ever to have been published by the British comic 2000AD; it exemplifies much of what was good about that publication (subversiveness, risk-taking, an openness to new ideas) whilst at the same time marking a significant break with its usual biases and...um...proclivities.
		THE BALLAD OF HALO JONES is a wonderful story about an ordinary woman who rises from hazardous poverty in a slum on Earth to genuine - but quiet - heroism in and after an interstellar war.

		During the demonstration the graphical beauty of Halo was readily apparent despite the fact that it was running on a measly 50% of the final Xbox hardware.
		In "Halo" the pace was just a little bit slower, allowing me to carefully plan my attack on the enemy and not find myself turning around endlessly to find all those pesky enemies.
		I asked Jason Jones of Bungie if we could expect to see Halo for the Xbox launch and he assured as that hitting the launch of the Xbox is their ultimate goal at this time.

		Halo took a lead in the Cherub fleet from the start, the considerable extra weight on the wire doing no harm at all, and both boats raced round in amongst the 600s and ahead of the 400s of course.
		In race one, Halo Jones got the plumb start at the committee boat end and after juggling as we all tried to suss out the tidal sitation, led at the windward narrowly from LFC and Norwegian Blue.
		Halo Jones took the lead on the run, lost it on the next beat to Mango Jam, and then regained it again on the run and through to the finish, with Mango Jam second.

	The Friday Review: The Complete Ballad of Halo Jones
		THE COMPLETE BALLAD OF HALO JONES is something of a misnomer (out of a projected nine books, only the three collected here saw the light of day), but as a fictional biography of sorts, it's extremely entertaining, despite taking some time to warm to.
		Part of the reason why HALO JONES works as well as it does is due to the appealing nature of Halo herself - she endears herself to the reader through her sheer ordinariness.
		There is a brief interlude, though, in which Halo's life and times are discussed by a university professor and his students in a future even farther from the one Halo exists in.

	Halo submissions for July - Sept 1999
		Halo is a third-person perspective sci-fi action epic that for the first time puts the player in a single, complete and realistic world, without boundaries or breaks between levels.
		In Halo, you assume the role of an armored cyborg scouring the surface of a gigantic alien artifact- a habitable ring in space 10,000 miles in diameter.
		As the Halo rotates, a human on the inner surface would feel as if the centrifugal force or gravity was trying to pull him into the ground, but what's actually happening is that centripetal force is trying to pull the ground up through him and his mass is resisting.

		Ian said that Alan had planned it this way to get the royalties from the reprints (though if memory serves this wasn’t exactly the fast route to riches, which is why the writers and artists were apparently asked to contribute introductions and new covers and the like, as a way of getting them more dosh).
		Halo got a mixed reception from 2000AD readers, I think, and I must admit that as a reader of it in weekly chunks at the time Book 1 left me hmm, though I thought Book 2 was more accessible and enjoyable.
		and of course Halo James are her twin brothers who formed a boy band in the eighties.

	These I Have Loved - Part Four: Polishing My Halo
		Halo Jones had a similar influence on me. She leapt from the fevered mind of a certain Mr Alan Moore back in the mid eighties and, frankly took 2000AD by storm.
		Halo was one of the first real leading female characters to appear in 2000AD, and in hindsight it is striking that one of her first adventures is basically a shopping trip.
		Halo Jones is (IMHO of course) certainly the best strip ever to feature in ‘Tooth, as evidenced by the fact that it’s the one the fans always ask to have back.

		Jones is a programmer and a gamer, not a platform advocate.
		Jones used a PC for most of his early work on Halo simply because he was able to get a higher performance video card running in it at a time when the offerings for the Mac weren't up to par.
		While watching the Halo movie (for the umpteenth time) I noticed that as the one-man ship that the man steals is flying off, its silhouette looks remarkably like that of the White Star ships from the SF series Babylon 5 (see attached image 230K).

		Halo Jones is a beautiful tale, hilarious, moving and just so good it hurts.
		Early on, the character of her friend Rodice is far more dominant than Halo (she's got a bigger mouth anyhow!), but once Halo decides to leave the Hoop (an enormous floating ghetto for the unemployed) she soon get left behind.
		From the Hoop (which is in Manhatten, if i remember right) she gets a job as a hostess on board a starship, and heads off, vowing to meet up with Rodice (who couldn't get on board with her because there was only one vacancy) in a years time.

	The Closest Thing to the Real Thing
		But to be perfectly honest, the HALO engine is so amazing that Bungie could let us just run around the map banging two rocks together, and that would still entertain us fora while.
		Because of the ring-0world's unique halo orbit at the lagrange Point between a gas giant and one of its moons, this freakish world actually spins in place, with the resultant inertia creating an effect similar to gravity (remember the space station in 2001?).
		HALO makes quite an impression the first time around, but it isn't exactly a surprise that something so revolutionary would come from Bungie.

		The thought of Timothy Jones with a weapon even made the Fleeties nervous, and they were relieved when it was clear that he wasn't going to be allowed to have one." "Where is he now?" asked Thorn, his head swimming in disbelief that anybody could be that stupid and still be alive.
		But to Timothy Jones, presently up to his knees in shit (and other unmentionable substances) in the bilge tank, the vibration was enough to lose his grip on the floor and to send him flat on his back covered in the muck.
		Tycho Jones, who had spent the last few days "proving" to the Federation personnel he was absolutely in no way even remotely related to Timothy Jones (who was still shovelling waste in the bilge tanks), immediately reacted.
