Anyone else reading and enjoying "Prophet" by Image?
I am really enjoying the classic science fiction elements of this book. I've read 21-24 so far and only have one complaint
Warning, Spoiler:
John Prophet dies in the first arc, and a new clone begins each new story arc, I'm assuming.
The art and writing are top notch and it reminds me of Moebius.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. I shall die here. Every inch of me will perish. Every inch but one. An inch... It is small, and fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that, whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and things get better. But I hope most of all that you understand that even though I will never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years, I had roses, and apologized to no one.

i think it's great....1000% better than the original.
I had a thread about this somewhere but it fell off the map, surprised there's not more buzz...i think people are turned off because it's a former Liefeld title.

And I like the dark humor to it.
It makes me want to read King City.
Have either of you read my spoiler and do you have similar reactions?

This is a great series.

That was my initial knee jerk reaction.
Prophet?!? The old Liefeld title? Really??
I think it's a visceral response based on the contempt I have for the way Liefeld ran his affairs in the early Image days. Guess I better keep an open mind and make sure I'm not missing a quality read.
