Prophet #45

Prophet #45 brings together one of the most imaginatively strange ensembles in 2014 science fiction comics, and Simon Roy's cover art captures that beautifully. A weathered, red-cloaked figure crouches in the foreground gripping a staff, while behind him loom two deeply alien companions — one a crouching, flame-headed being in teal armor, the other a towering skeletal humanoid with a smooth blue-tipped skull — all set against a haunting landscape of jagged spires and ancient rock. Brandon Graham, Simon Roy, Farel Dalrymple, and Giannis Milonogiannis continue to push this series into genuinely weird, visionary territory that rewards readers who love their sci-fi bold and uncompromising.
