Prophet #25

Prophet reaches upward through a darkness crowded with drifting, battle-worn mechanical figures, his glowing reddish form straining toward a luminous, white-haired woman who floats just out of reach above him — it's a striking image of urgency and distance that immediately pulls you in. Simon Roy's cover for issue #25 balances warmth and cold beautifully, the hero's lit body contrasting with the shadowy tangle of armored forms surrounding him. With Brandon Graham, Giannis Milonogiannis, and Joseph Bergin III shaping the "Boaz" chapter, this 2012 Image series continues to deliver science fiction with a genuinely distinctive visual sensibility.
