Admittedly, if you are to read this without knowing the history in detail of this issue's release, you would probably feel that it is somewhat dated especially in the colouring department and to a certain extent, the storylines but hey when this came out waaaaay back in the 90s, inspite of all this, it was HUGE. The sheer anticipation of what else creator Rob Liefeld can throw at us, his loyal fans, was simply AWESOMEIn this issue, we finally, as the cover indicates get to see Prophet - and as typical comic teasing would have it - is he friend or foe? Well as far as we are concerned, that cover alone makes you want to turn the pages to find out because colouring aside, that is one awesome looking character
And when you turn to page 1, hey, guess what? More new characters in the form of the Berzerkers. At this point, I have no idea who these people are (but they are going to have their own limited series not long after their debut here so that should tell you a little bit more about their impact) but the fact that on page 1 you have them? Whoa!
As for the storyline proper, well, basically some superpowered earthlings were defending against an invasion from Darkthornn's dimension or some such place. And in the course of such things found someone encased in a tube (no this is not similar to the Avengers discovering Cap). However, while they debated long over it, before they know it, our man in the tube managed to be ... free ... and naturally with gritted teeth, a hard fought battle ensued. We see that Prophet is one tough cookie even though none expected him to be that fast or strong i.e. he is no Hulk or Quicksilver but his skills and ability to bear with the pain made him an opponent that gave the entire Youngblood team a run for their money
Oh yes, before we forgot, in this issue there is yet one more new character - Kirby the shortie who smokes and has like gazillion guns blazing every time! Hah!
