A few years ago, I
posted about my infatuation with the Brandon Graham* comic
Prophet. The final collection of issues has been released so it's possible to read the entire story from start to finish now without having to buy 100+ individual comics. This
review of the series makes a great argument for why it's among the best around. It is, without question,
hard sci-fi and incredibly dense. The plot isn't always a straightforward linear tale and there's a lot left untold. But those gaps make it
enjoyable, not confusing.
The artwork comes a number of talented illustrators / inkers and runs a nice gamut of styles; never diverging too far from an intricately detailed world but diverse enough to clearly be from different minds.
I don't talk about the graphic novels I read that because they don't often leave a deep impression.
Prophet is different. I highly recommend
picking it up.
