Prometheus #1

A muscular figure plunges dramatically from the sky above a storm-ravaged, crumbling cityscape — with an enormous zodiac or astrolabe wheel looming behind them — setting a sweeping mythological tone for this 2009 Belgian-published series. Christophe Bec, credited as both writer and artist here, brings an epic sensibility to the opening chapter subtitled "Atlantis," pairing apocalyptic imagery with the weight of ancient legend. If you're drawn to grand, visually ambitious science-fiction and mythology, this first installment of Prometheus makes a compelling entry point.
