2. Prophet vol 2 #2 (Image)

I was scrolling through my catalogue of images and trying to decide what to post next when I chose this. And now that I am typing this, I realized, it's my second post and both are from Image back when Image is having it's boom seasons! Way to go Image comics. Love you guys!

For those of you who didn't follow Prophet, it's basically about a guy from the future who is like the enhanced human specimen, send back to the past to prevent a guy (Ohmen) from coming to power and bringing with him the Acolytes that will some day rule the Earth. Think Terminator minus the dark landscape and metallic looking robots and you more or less have this

The only problem with John Prophet is that he doesn't have all his memories with him and what he knows, he thinks is real. So from issue 1, we have a glimpse into Prophet's past (real or otherwise, we are unsure). It seems like he has been living through our histories for many, many centuries!

And if you think the art and that chrome cover was amazing, well, issue 2 boasts an equally impressive effort from Stephen Platt. Loved me some S.Platt art! Too bad he doesn't do many comics and left more or less the comics world after this series (except for the occasional Fighting American)

So in issue 2, we delved a little deeper into the truth behind John and as he rushes to find out more, he needs to ensure he is not "shut down" before he discovers the truth. Even his friends and allies may not be so. It's a good, fast paced thriller of a book, not so much a superhero thing but when you read this, you won't realize it because it is that good (10/10). For me, this is as good as it gets!
