mrsmiley announces the Biggest Fan Art Update Ever over at Halo Babies, a total of thirteen gallery pieces plus extras. Go check it out.

HBO has a new page up in their Miscellaneous section: captures of the murals from a deleted cutscene that depicted Covenant history. Thanks to 7he One, Walshicus and Louis Wu.

mrsmiley took the Master Chief to New York and he gets lucky. Who says people who go to HBO looking for Sex and the City are in the wrong place? Oh... and a new comic, too.

The big news in this week's What's What Weekly Update by Frankie over at Bungie.net isn't who's playing Halo 2, it's who won't be playing Halo 2 anymore. Frankie says that Bungie has just banned thousands of players for cheating, network exploits, foul language or player abuse.

And on a side note, the latest Halo Babies comic explains why some of those people might have been banned...

The new-look Halo 2 Cortana isn't that happy with her new role in the overall scheme of things in today's Halo Babies comic. There's also a new fan art update. Thanks mrsmiley.

Vector40 notes the winners of the Bungie Tribute Poetry Contest over at The Junkyard; kudos to DarkTyrant, Murph MacManus and Raven3509, the #1, #2 and #3 winners, respectively.

mrsmiley notes:

A new strip today in our mini new season kick-off series. Cortana makes her first Halo 2 baby appearance, and there's some new sketches to boot!

New regular Halo Babies strip today by Gruntsbane; thanks mrsmiley.

There's a truly massive art update at Halo Babies today-- far too much to mention it all and unfair to pick out anything in particular, so go and check out the list yourself. Thanks mrsmiley.

Tina "Jaxx" Leyk does the guest strip this week at Halo Babies. Thanks mrsmiley.

There's a Guest Strip explosion on Stuntmutt's blog as Louis Wu clears out the stored strips. Stuntmutt just asks that unmodified AutoMagic strips be posted in the HBO forum instead.

New guest strip by Stuntmutt over at Halo Babies today; also a new One One Se7en that cuts the other way. Thanks mr smiley.

[image:8885 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0] Tycho over at Penny Arcade today notes a Halo-related art submission to their Child's Play charity auction; an interpretation of Melissa, the Op from the I Love Bees ARG, by CharlesAllenHarris.

Since HBO isn't accepting One One Se7en guest strips anymore, Stuntmutt figured he would put two up on his blog. I hope he knows what he's getting himself in for...
