I have a couple issues of the Brandon Graham run of Prophet and it's not bad. Definitely a nice new take than the original source material. Definitely an underrated book that should be regarded in the same light as Saga.
ReplyDeleteSo Dart's a heel/bad guy now?
Seems so Dale - but things are changing up over in Dragon at the moment - in fact there will probably by a Spawn crossover soon, given the creators and the fact Spawn is pretty depowered, in seems like a wise move to make!
