Chuck Norris has nothing on John Prophet. From start to finish, this issue (and the storyline in general) was hauntingly beautiful. What Prophet lacks in dialogue it makes up for in dense panels packed with minute details of this alien-earth. Our protagonist, a soldier through and through, concludes his mission in this issue with an ending both satisfying and curious. For the past three issues we’ve followed an awakened John Prophet as he has become a stranger in a strange land despite the fact that this land was once his home. Pressing forward through a bizarre caravan filled with multi-limbed crewman and assasins, losing his own arm in the midst of a neo-religous battle and fighting off his own moral compass, Prophet takes us on a tour of an Earth wasteland rife with strange new life. True science fiction is rarer than it used to be, but it is thriving in these panels that act like a map and info-graphic to the unititated of Alien Earth. It’s easy to get lost staring at the art because little is said by the characters outside of exclamations, but the narration boxes ever so gingerly push the story forward. Atop the G.O.D satellite their is a striking image of some mechanics that clearly harken to the Pyramid and Eye found on the one dollar bill and it is imagintive bits like that mixed with the bizarre/imaginative story that make this issue well worth the price of admission.
