I love the Prophet comic. Gloriously pulpy, weird sci-fi with that classic crumbling interstellar human empire melancholy. The story is fun and strange. The art is pretty and appropriately strange. All the pieces of this comic come together to produce powerful, consistent whole.

I think this might be where the tide starts to turn back against Graham and Prophet a little bit - while the minimalism and starkness of the first two books made them a real wonder, it's gotten to the point where it's hard to track exactly which Prophets we've seen are still alive, where they are, and what they're doing. I'm hoping that some of the bits toward the end of this indicate that there's a winnowing of sorts coming.

More weird goodness from Graham and an art style that's growing on me from Roy & Milonogiannis.

The narrative is really starting to come together and I'm happy that "New Father" John came back from the previous volume and is involved in something else here. Very enthused about all of that.

Looking forward to more strange, gross, but imaginative sci-fi!

Strangest of all for what has been up to now a very strange book, volume 3 of Prophet is disappointingly conventional. Like a horror film franchise, the longer Prophet goes on, the more its weird mysteries get explained away and lose their allure.
