F'cking Carmine.

In an effort to get caught up with the comics we've done so far, Punch the Grunt will be posting comics five days per week for the next two weeks. We have a lot of material to get out, and I fear the time-sensitive comics we have won't get out when they need to at a 3 comics per week schedule. So until then, you, the viewer, get a special treat.

"Reach Lesson #23" is the first in a series of unspoken rules that anyone who has played Halo: Reach would have etched firmly into their hearts and minds. Lesson 23 is the way of the Carmine. Simply put: It doesn't matter how much your genes are manipulated via Bioengineering. If you can't get the hell behind some cover, you're as good as dead. The Spartans are supposed to be the best of the best, men and women taken from their families as children and exposed to the harshest training environments imaginable. Since when do they
pull off a stunt that only befits a rookie Cog? Maybe Kat missed that day of training? C'est la vie!
