While the second volume of Prophet does not quite live up to the promise of the first, it ties up some of the loose strings of the first installment, forming a central plot line. To me, what made the first volume so great was the focus on three different individual John Prophet story lines, providing the reader with only hints of backstory here and there. This gave the universe a sense of enormity that made the individual Prophets seem so insignificant and expendable, but that sense of enormity also lended the title a certain air of mystery and creepiness that made the book very compelling to me.
This second installment while keeping us up to date on the three John Prophets from the first book, starts to flesh out a central story line focused on the original John Prophet and his companions. For me this sort of ruins the sense of wonderment that I got from the first book. It takes it out of the realm of sci-fi mystery and into a more typical sci-fi adventure type of format.
On the other hand Graham and co. have not exhausted the seemingly endless heap of ideas they drew from in the first volume. I really got a kick out of all the creative fantasy sci-fi aliens, ships, cities, etc they cooked up and this volume has plenty more where that came from. Learning more about the universe and its inhabitants is a continual joy in this series.
Overall, a great read and I'm excited to conintue reading future installments. However the briliance from the first book has faded slightly into something more familiar.

With volume two, one really sees why Image is becoming one of the more interesting publishers after feeling like it was an "edgier" variant of superhero fair for the first part of its 20-something year life. Graham really ups his game here as the relationship of the clones becomes more clear and the scope of the world starts to add up into something coherent. Graham is zooming outward in narrative structure, showing us glimpses of a massive mythology, and hints of a relationship to the Liefeld comic universe. The art remains fascinatingly alien, and the grit remains in the comic. Indeed, however, unlike Prophet, whose "grit" was a 90s conceit to male adolescent fantasies, this is necessary to the world. Great work overall.

Not for everyone, but my favorite series. It takes a few issues to figure out that these stories are about a bunch of clones and not the same exact character, but that is one of the really fun cool things about it. I never really read the original series, but these guys successfully demonstrate that there is actually a hidden genius somewhere in Rob Liefield's subtext. BTW I could say the same thing for the most excellent "Glory" run by Joe Keatinge.

A continuation of the first story arc (which is a continuation of an older story arc.) I can't really say what's going on except that there's a lot of John Prophets and they're all over the galaxy/universe. It's sort of like Hitchiker's Guide meets 2001. Great read if not for the story, for the amazing visuals. Some of the best artwork I've seen in a comic.

Prophet is just a wonderful acid trip of the most unique sci fi experience that exists in graphic novel. I love how weird and alien it is

The crazy Sci Fi Adventure continues in Vol 2. I'm enjoying the visuals, and the story is still a bit crazy for me. Guess I need to go back and read the old Prophet books before this new run. I'll be reading Vol 3 of this for sure.

The artwork is incredible and a pleasant change for the mainstream Marvel stuff (which can bit hit, miss or generic)
The characters and ideas are really left field which make it a refreshing read that catches you of guard in a good way
It definitely needs a couple of re-reads and is of no use without part one.

Epic series! It has what a space opera is about. I found many similarities to the Metabarons and the Incal, which is a pro. Don't miss it

Fantastische Erzählung mit tollen Zeichnungen
Reviewed in Germany on September 26, 2013
Der zweite Sammelband (Trade Paperback) zur "Fortsetzung" der Serie Prophet. In den 90ern bei Image von Rob Liefeld begonnen und, wie so vieles was Rob Liefeld begonnen hat, nie vollendet. Die Muskel- und Utilitybelt-bepackten Figuren mit viel zu kleinen Füßen und keiner nachvollziehbaren Story, sind europäisch und japanisch anmutenden Zeichnungen (es sind unterschiedliche Zeichner an der Serie tätig, je nach Storyline oder Zeitebene) gewichen. Die Story verläuft nicht linear sondern eher in mehreren Ebenen, zeitlich wie räumlich. Es handelt sich schlichtweg um ein komplett neues Konzept und driftet teilweise in die psychedelische Science Fiction im Stil von "Metal Hurlant" ab. In diesem Band erfährt man mehr über diverse Klone von John Prophet und Ihre Abenteuer die oftmals mit dem Tod enden oder zumindest sehr unkalkulierbar verlaufen. Ich kann diesen Comic jedem Science Fiction Fan ans Herz legen, der offen für neue Ideen und Erzählstrukturen ist.
