1 | maverick says:

hillarious! just like me and my little brother!

2 | steven says:

Why would a hunter want to kill a grunt?...

3 | me says:

cause grunts are gay cowardly fools duuuuhhh

4 | Rinon says:

and because they are worthless

5 | Gholsbane says:

He didn't kill the grunt, he's just keeping the little fella's head cosy.

6 | Stalker1 says:

lmao! that was awsome!

7 | halofreak says:

is i just me or is it cramped in here

8 | ummmmmm...... says:

grunts are annoying. but they're so cute when they're sleeping! *whack!* heehee!

9 | Zuka 'Ramamee says:

Hunters aren't talkative, it's true. But give him some meat (they seam to like stir-fried human)...they won't leave you alone.

10 | Zorkan says:

Grunts are cute 24/7! And I've never heard a Hunter speak. I've only heard it laugh after it killed me and it was so stinking deep!

11 | a halo dude says:

I think grunts are cool, they may be kind of weak but you have to give them there props.At the halo store they have their own t-shirt and a grunt mug to satisfy your grunty thirst.

12 | Dragoon says:

why would he waste batteries or ammo or whatever it is on a grunt when he could just step pn him and kill him

13 | necromasterx says:

So thats why Hunters are usually alone when you get there...

14 | wort wort wort says:

so it wasnt the flood :)

15 | Sandwich grunt says:

oh the woes of being placed with a hunter. that's my cousion Brickabrakyap. the hunter shot him out of his cannon....He did not survive.....WHY HIM!!!!! HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ME INSTEAD!!!

16 | Spartan 117 says:

commenting on #2:because hunters are at the top of the chain of command(next to brutes) and grunts are at the bottom(next to engineers)

17 | hunterkilla says:

Go on Hunter. Pull the trigger. You know you want to, while i prepare the rocket to blow your brains out. HAAAHAAAHAAA. Great comic

18 | Xerro says:

You don't need a rocket just a pistol. I would kill that hunter straight away if it dare does anything to that grunt, i want to kill it and listen to it scream. Grunts are hilarious, especially when about to be killed.

19 | I guy who reads halo books says:

#16 is wrong. hunters do not have a high rank they are just the work horses of the covie. read the book:}

20 | gruntsruledude says:

grunts r cool....but i understand the hunters reasoning......lol funny

21 | Mr Covie says:

hmm... if only that happened in Halo.

22 | mizis chief says:

hahaha i would LOVE to see that happen in halo while im in camo of course. ive heard hunter speak some stuff. one was a low urgh when i killed it and a lower hahaha when it killed me :D

23 | FUELRODGUN says:

THAT BE ME. HUMANS SO EASY TO KILL. IF GET TO ANNOYING JUST STAND ON THEM AND MATCH THEM SHRINK. HA HA HA

24 | senor commento says:

uuuh, where's the rest of the hunter's right arm in the first two panels?

25 | Isna Noselee says:

Doesn't make me think that hunters are good friends with grunts.

26 | ODST without a parachute. says:

I would roll out and unload with a battle rifle right as he's stuffing the grunt into the cannon. A death spasm pulls the trigger and SPLATBOOM!! Grunt go bye bye.
Or I'd just follow my name and land on him. Hard.

27 | halo boi says:

so whats he waiting for? blow the grunts head off! I could care less about them waiting in the doorway!

28 | Death Vomit says:

i want fuelrod gun cant wait till Halo2

29 | Riddick says:

The grunts just look oh so cute in this strip (I like the hunter as well)!

30 | Cynap says:

We don't talk to much! It is just that we are lonely! The other grunts aren't that fun to talk to so we talk to elite and hunters and jackal, but the jackals try to eat us!

31 | Falcon says:

Did the Hunter grab the Grunt by the head?

32 | Elite-Boi says:

no i think he just was putting the cannon on the grunts on his head to shut em, up

33 | Psycho Android Shocker says:

on #28 you CAN use the Fuel Rod Gun in the Computer version of Halo
another factor is that Hunters ALWAYS come in pairs (see two to tango) its in the novels and true in the game

34 | koreanboy86 says:

hahahaha! hunter:*shoots grunt**grunt gets back up*hunter:sit back down!

35 | spartandude87 says:

Where's the hunter's bond brother? I'm sure the hunter talks when it's bond brother is next to him. Great comic, I love it!

36 | red elite says:

poor grunt...... i feel sorry for him

37 | Mr. Grunty says:

It must be nice and warm in side of the gun. My turn to stick my head in it!

38 | The_Man says:

Well grunts seem 2 beg 4 their lives when the flood do the same.
NO!!! PLAESE, NO!!! WWWAAAAHHAAAA!!!

39 | pushushushu says:

I don't think the grunt was going to die. I think the hunter was just threatening him.

40 | Yayap says:

Ack!

oh, and um...

hunter fuel rod guns are green.

our frg's are orange-brown.

41 | im an elite wort wort wort says:

the grunts look like li'l babies :D

42 | Super Grunt says:

The real covie caste system is as so:Prophets,Elites,Brutes,Hunter,Jackal,Drone ,Grunt.Hunters r just cranky, notice how they grunt and snarl at you?Grunts look 2 cute!

43 | Blizz says:

Thats not good.. The gun can break. Darn those grunts and their big evil heads. and by the way you forgot something in the ranking. Arbiter is after Prophet

44 | SolitarySoldier says:

Dude, if the hunter shoots the grunt, the fuel rod inside the gun will kill all of them by exploding when its hits the grunts head. Dont you guys know about the laws of plasma?

45 | Mayap says:

In Halo 2 on the last level you get to be on the hunters team

46 | gruntie says:

The grunts here are cute, but it still is a funny comic!

47 | sunshineforu says:

this is just as funny as my mom in bed with me hahahahahaha yea ok wake up people theres more to life then games damn

48 | The killer of gruntys says:

I was hoping u would get to see the grunts head get blown off
Bye bye

49 | The killer of gruntys says:

First of all u scewded people grunts are part of a game so dont say that is cute because that is gay and second of all get a life all u people who think grunts are cute.

50 | yayap says:

grunts are to cute and smart

51 | lol die die says:

why would a hunter do that to the grunts

52 | The Grunt says:

i was the grunt who didnt get hit by the hunter. Mental Note: stay away from hunters(they hurt)

53 | Skalamunga says:

Hunter fuel rod guns are so different now

54 | HunterGuru says:

Ahem...
Okay, kiddies, let's get started;
1. Hunters are actually LOWER in rank than grunts. Rank is determined by the ability to make critical decisions.
2. Hunters had to be tamed, and are basically wild animals trained to fight.
3. Hunters do not actually talk.
4. Hunters are composed of multiple organisms.
5. Hunters are NOT intelligent.
Class dismissed!

55 | halbst says:

i for won am not a nerd

56 | kyle says:

I tought that this comic was a bit funny :| but if I was the hunter i'd pull the trigger. hehehehe

57 | grunts 'll get ya says:

if grunt kill ya in the first one on legendary they say " heh heh i get his helmet"hunter are cool to (the strong silent type)

58 | SilentKnight says:

Who da hell you think you are, 'The killer of gruntys'?!?!? Grunts are the coolest, sweetest, cutest, most loved members of the Covenant. If grunts were real, i i'd probably have a grunty brother. That would be cool.

Smiley and Gruntsbane, you guys have the best comics around.

Oh, and one more thing..........
POWER TO THE GRUNTS!!!

59 | boit says:

#54 is right half of the time....
1. Lower in rank? True, but they listen to nobody but the Sangheili (Elites). They also have respectable family and bond names! Grunts and Jackals don't have such privelage. And they can step on a Jackal without punishment.
2. Hunters had to be tamed, and are basically wild animals trained to fight. True. Used as walking tanks.
3. Hunters do not actually talk. True. But they can be understood by their actions as seen by MC first hand.
4. Hunters are composed of multiple organisms. Also true.
5. NOT intelligent? Very untrue. They have tactics of their own. If one dies, the other rampages out of grief. If you are behind them, they have a counterattack which can make you into patty. Oh... and they are sentient, meaning they can THINK.

60 | Roadkill says:

OH RIGHT (duffman voice) Hunters!

61 | halo ninja says:

that sounds bout right cuz they hert like hell

62 | ArbiGal says:

This one reminds me of myself...I act just like the Hunter in this scene. I've threatened my cousins the same way several times!I love that Hunter! And the Grunts are adorable!

63 | Neon says:

Number 59 (bolt) Is more correct than number 54 (hunter guru). Hunters are one of the smartest covenant around. And they may be considered lower in rank, but Hunters dont care about their rank, and dont even listen to the prophets. And, hunter guru, If you really think Hunters are that dumb, say it to them while playing in legendary. Its harder to kill them than to kill ten legendary elites anywhere.

64 | tris10 says:

you will see grunts on www.halo.bungie.com on movies & there so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

65 | fat dude says:

(we,re grunts happy to be grunts we,re grunts!!!!!!!happy to be grunts grunta fart grunta fart happy to be tuuuuuuuurn!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

66 | David says:

hes not gonna kill the grunts,he gave him a noogie becasue he thinks the grunts want to be his freinds(becasue there staying with him, get it?).

67 | huntersamcool says:

hunters are by far the coolest unit in the game. dont know why, but they awesome. perhaps its their ability to level almost anythin if you piss them off :P

68 | arbiter says:

I LIKE THE WAY GRUNTS TALK ILL BE HAPPY TO HAVE THEM ALL on my team!!!!!!!!!!

69 | Masterchief evil says:

LOL! the grunt is gonna get his head blown off!!!

70 | bungie says:

What!!!!!!? a hunter blowing the*&^*^%& off the grunts head off that dumb the grunts are to cute die thats why i never kill grunts becase ther to coll and awsome must have toy to grunts.com.

71 | halofreak205 says:

Actually you guys who say grunts are dumb and stuff like that, they were kidnapped by the covenant and forced to work for them, plus they were seperated from thier family so wouldn't you be like that? but still, this comics funnny.

72 | turok says:

Art Error: In the first two slides, the hunter is missing part of his arm. Look carfully and you will see what I mean.

73 | Arbitress says:

OOOOh funny.

74 | duke of destruction says:

When the master-chief gets there that hunter won't be talking at all!

75 | Kor 'lonsomee says:

So now you know why I always send the hunters under my comand by themseleves. ( oh and to the grunt loveres Elites rock more)

76 | Prophet Mercy says:

Number 1: Grunts ARE adorable. Number 2: 76, 77, and 78, what are you talking about?
Number 3: Ranks in my opinion: Prophet, Elite, Hunter, Brute, Jackal, Drone, and the adorable grunt.

77 | Prophet Mercy says:

If the hunter shot he would die. Order of smartness: Elite, Prophet, Grunt, Hunter, Jackal, Brute, Drone.

78 | Prophet Mercy says:

Order of skill at fighting: Hunter, Elite, Prophet, Brute, Grunt, Jackal, Drone.

79 | David says:

Order of Strength and tactic/strategic planning: Prophet, Elite, Hunter, Brute, Jackal, Drone, Grunt.

80 | Rala Kavlaka says:

Wort,Wort. I was there too. I'm probably the only elite who made it off halo. Thank the Forerunners for Banshees. Anyway, I remember that the Hunter was a very reasonable guy. He only crushed one of the Grunts.

81 | Rala Kavlaka says:

Wort,Wort. Here is the system: Prophet,Brute,Elite,Hunter,Jackal,Grunt,Drone Tactics: Elite,Hunter,Grunt,Jackal,Drone,Prophet Finally,Brains:Elite,Prophet,Hunter,Grunt,Jackal,Drone,Brute

Why the Grunt before Jackal??? Because they know when tehy are about to get thier head blown off and/or when it's time to leave!!!

82 | Prophet Mercy says:

#82. Strength and strategy cannot be listed together, because the Hunters are stronger then the Elites and Prophets, and pretty much anything there could kill a prophet(unless it has the chair, then just Elites since they can board vehicles).

83 | Prophet Mercy says:

On 81, which I posted, I meant to put this, "Hunter Elite Brute Grunt Jackal Drone Prophets. In the manuals, it says the Prophets are frail.

84 | Half-Jaw and Zawaz says:

Zawaz: Leader, Fasu is firing grunts out of his cannon agian!
*Half-Jaw takes out bag of popcorn*

85 | Louis da Mister Chief fan says:

maybe because the grunts are annoying.plus they exaggerate things like "There everywhere!!",when there is only one of you.

86 | Some Halo-Lover says:

Grunts are funny!...until they stick a nade to your head

87 | Grunt sandwich says:

why are grunts getting beat??Can somebody answer because the grunts wouldn't hurt flies!!!
don't hurt grunts!!!!
GRUNTS ROCK!!!

88 | grunt fan says:

GRUNTS ARE SO CUTE!!! I WANNA FIND A CUDDLY TOY GRUNT COS THEYRE SO CUTE!!!
