Prophet, Volume 3: Empire
People need to stfu about Saga & Y the Last Man, this here is what us real sci-fi lovers have been sitting around and craving; instead of humanizing all the aliens into hackneyed anime hentai and wanna be Buffy the Vampire Slayer yuck-yucks, this does a fair sight of alien-i-zing all the humans and giving you meaty plots (literally & figuratively) that you can sink your teeth into and GOD BLESS YOU unapologetic seriousness that assumes you have brains in your skull or perhaps have already read a smidge of good fiction. I'm a little confused and I'm loving every second of it! It's also well drawn and not over-colored (there is something left to the imagination; coloring takes "mood" into effect like an old time comic and it's not done in any "trendy" techniques either). I'm floored. Shocked anything this original got published in this day and age.By the same token, the tale isn't just yanking your chain, you can tell there is serious storytelling and plot going on here; it's not just weird for the sake of weird. I actually started with #3 and am working my way to #1 and #2. I don't recommend that, but if you can read #3 without the others, then my son you are indeed a hardcore sci-fi geek. Be proud. And drop me a line.
