Thus endeth the millennium spanning epic of the Prophet. Mindblowing Druillet style.
I think this was interesting. Crazy artwork. Lots of interesting elements. I checked these out from the library, so couldn't go back to the first several volumes, and I felt a bit like I forgot things.
What a magnificent end to the series. Graham does not compromise one iota in terms of the qualities that made the first volume so compelling for me, qualities I wouldn't exactly describe as "commercial." The conclusion opens new vistas and introduces new species of weirdness, while still providing a satisfying enough sense of closure. A series as engaging and imaginative as this doesn't deserve a neat ending, a tying up of loose ends, an answer to all its questions. It deserves something grander...
Beautiful, baffling science fiction space opera. I could never tell what was going on and I loved every second of it.
The grand finale to the fabulously strange far-future epic, though more of it is lower key than I'd expected, given the scale of what we've seen before. I'm going to miss this comic, though far better it make a suitable ending like this than ever allow its cavalcade of weird wonders to stale.
A wonderful end to a crazy as hell series.
Always sprawling. Always baffling. Always Brilliant.
This was definitely one of the more coherent stories in the prophet universe, and as near as I can tell, it actually tied everything up in a rather satisfying ending. I’m really glad to have read this one. The narrative overall wasn’t especially tight, but it would be hard to do that and also span as epic a scope as this does. As an end cap to reading TPBs 1-5 in order, I’d recommend the series. It’s space opera and swashbuckling adventure stories in the tradition of 1950s-era science fiction, w...
Brandon Graham has a weird brain.
Good, satisfying, expansive end to what has been a great run. Bravo to all involved.
Brandon Graham's run on Prophet was one of the best ongoing series I've ever read - taking a defunct Rob Liefeld property (yes, that Rob Liefeld) and running it through a transformative filter of art comics and experimental sci-fi. The superlative art, writing, and visual structure of Prophet really shows what comics can do, and how at their best they can tell stories in a way unique to their medium. This final volume of Prophet, which I collected far after the series ended and as I was scra...
Ah, Prophet, it's hard to know what to think of ye. This is certainly a conclusion, but this was a comic so complex and convoluted that it's hard to really understand what's going on. Maybe if I read it another time? I dunno.I think I liked it. There were certainly great ideas and magnificent concepts that melded science-fiction and superheroes. It was like reading a Heavy Metal comic split up over three years.But it was also weighed down by its own complexity.
I again use the final TPB as a synecdoche for the whole run. Top notch stuff, possibly the only comic I've read to out-weird Grant Morrison without nosediving into incoherence. With stronger characters it would have been a 5-star.
I somehow never got around to finishing Graham’s run on Prophet. Back when I discovered the series the guy almost singlehandedly rekindled my love for the form. Funny, sexy, humane, brutal, with a range of art that is always interesting to look at, this remains a favourite sci-fi epic to dip into. A shame it’s over.
The final volume is a step backwards for what has been a wild, weird ride overall. More of a coda or epilogue rather than a proper conclusion, Earth War returns to the familiar weirdness of the first volume, but with little of the first volume’s inventiveness or brilliant shocks.
does the resolution to the story live up to the journey? No, not really. But the concluding montage is just perfect in that it shows that this story is just part of the endless story of history and that it really has no beginning and now end.Yeah, I'll probably check out anything Brandon Graham writes. The characters are enigmas but yet there's a depth to them that is shown in subtleties. This series just worked, even though it was crazy and you kind of read it not know what what going on it.Eve...
The final volume in the Prophet saga had a little bit more of a storyline than the previous volumes, centered on the Earth War, but that doesn't mean it was any easier to figure out what was happening. Wildly imaginative sci-fi series, Brandon Graham and Simon Roy come up with concepts far beyond what most of us ever could. The tools and technology that are in this comic that don't exist (yet) are mind boggling. The alien species are gnarly. The story is complex but even if you're having a hard
It's pretty, though the art can be incredibly variable from one page to the next. I've appreciated the attempt throughout this series to come up with something truly weird, truly alien. Not sure it's always worked that well, though. Much of Prophet has skirted the edge of the incomprehensible, and I'm not sure this conclusion really sticks the landing.
A great run This re-imagining of Prophet gives the arcs a story that feels like the wilder and more inventive periods of French sci-fi comics, and this arc gives this run of Prophet a proper ending. The art is great and consistent with Graham's vision. Highly endorsed.
I don't think I was meant to understand this.
