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, with a lot of the lack of social and political nuance that those had, but if you don’t mind that too much, the art is fantastic (If very bloody).

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 legitimately could not tell you what I just read, but I loved it. A lot.*

If anything I'm miffed that it's over.
What a pleasant surprise, in which this series really impacted how I see sci-fi, the last story to do that was Hyperion.
