Prophet, Volume 1: Remission by Brandon Graham, Emma Ríos, Simon Roy, Rob Liefeld, Farel Dalrymple, Giannis Milonogiannis

5.0

Prophet was one of those muscley-characters-with-big-guns from the Image founders back in the day that I never had much time for, but here he's resurrected and reimagined in a far-distant future that is utterly unrecognisable. A John Prophet awakens from a cryopod and traverses the planet altered by time and conflict and aliens on a mission to restart the Earth Empire. Across the galaxy more John Prophets awaken in strange and exotic locations and embark on esoteric missions of their own as the Earth Empire lumbers back to life. This is dense with detail and incident, rich and lush with worldbuilding, completely alien settings full of wonders and horrors, and seems to be ramping up to be a massive, epic space opera in the tradition of Jodorowsky or Moebius. Who would've thought? A brave, bold move and a fantastic piece of work.
