This book heralds a new beginning for Rob Liefeld’s Prophet
series. The story begins as John Prophet awakens from cryogenic sleep into the
alien wasteland that Earth has become. Humans have fallen from technological
dominance, and it’s up to our hero to jumpstart the civilization.
This book tells (mostly shows, really; not much dialogue as
Prophet is alone most of the time) of Prophet’s journey to discover his
mission. Artistically we are treated to a brief tour of the ‘new’ world,
showing us some of the changes that have taken place in the time that has
passed.
I like the setup of this story. They have built in some nice
potential for epic storytelling, and left the sci-fi front wide open. This story
could go in any of a dozen different directions without altering the flavor at
all, and possibly hundreds with only minor tweaking. My interest is piqued.
PROPHET #21 is available now at your FLCS or by order from imagecomics.com.
