Prophet, Volume 4: Joining by Brandon Graham, Simon Roy
3.0
I enjoy Prophet when it's this weird, barely explained excursion where we follow a clone or two through an alien landscape where they reach their largely unsatisfying goal, and then we start anew with a new clone. I really don't care about the Youngblood/Youngstar continuity, or any of the Liefeld-verse characters. In this volume the story "comes together" and then we are shown the Missing History between issue 19 (which came out as volume 2 #8 back in 1995) and issue 20, which came out in 2012.
I really didn't care. I didn't want to know how/if it connected to the old series, and I found myself barely looking at the text on the Strikefile issues at the back of the volume, instead viewing it as an art project with nonsense words attached to it.
I'm till glad I read it, as there was some stellar art, and cool concepts but both the continuity potential and its execution completely failed to keep my attention.
If you loved the Liefeld verse and are curious as to how it connects to this, then this might be an A+ book for you.
