Hawkman #22
The stunning conclusion to the 3-part "The Headhunter!" In a bizarre twist, Hawkman must face off against himself as the Headhunter continues his strange mission of preserving the savage within. Meanwhile, Hawkgirl unearths the origins of St. Roch's newest urban myth only to discover another mystery within the "City the Saints Forgot."
JSA #56
The "Black Reign," a six-part crossover with HAWKMAN written by superstar Geoff Johns, begins here! Black Adam crosses the fine line between hero and villain as he leads a group of superpowers into his birthplace of Kahndaq to liberate the subjugated city...by any means necessary!
These last couple issues have been a bit more difficult to understand. Still super engaging though. I know I'm gonna need to re-read this several times to really appreciate it and fully understand it.
Prophet #28
Great grandfather Prophet hunts a younger clone of himself while searching for his old Starship.
Prophet #27
Prophet is trapped on an alien slave ship manufacturing living missiles in the middle of a massive space war.
This series is a total mind-effer...have I been cheering for the bad guys this whole time? Is this new John Prophet the only good one? What is going on...? I love this book.
Prophet #26
Jaxson must find a way to warn John Prophet of the newly awakened Earth Empire.
Your request for Prophet #25 has been completed!
This was easily the most confusing issue yet. And still, I find myself not caring whatsoever about the fact that I have absolutely no idea what's going on. Every time I think I might be putting the pieces together and forming the beginnings of an idea about what's happening, Graham throws me for another loop. I'm sure it will start to make more sense eventually, but honestly, for now, I'm just hap more
Prophet #25
Prophet is trapped on an alien slave ship manufacturing living missiles in the middle of a massive space war.
We follow a new John Prophet now, and he...has a tail? Well alright then. The writing in this series is just terrific. Graham jumps days ahead from panel to panel with such ease that it doesn't feel jarring or poorly paced. Somehow, it just works. I can't wrap my head around how a comic written in this fashion works so well, but it does. It's a bold strategy, to be sure, but it pays off.
Prophet #24
John Prophet's mission has been changed. He now has to cross the continent sized starship of Sleepingman to save a creature who has crashed onto the world below.?He must survive deadly radiation and a strangely familiar thing that's been trapped in the ship.
The beginning of the issue was actually sweet, but the ending kinda killed it. If Carter's bodies from his past lives are scattered all across the globe, how do they all spring out of the ground in one spot after Headhunter drops a few magic bones on the dirt? Also, Carter is a terrible teacher lol How was that poor kid supposed to know the history books he used in his paper were wrong?
Hawkman #21
Headless corpses litter the streets of St. Roch, and the trail of skulls and blood leads to the mysterious creature known as the Headhunter! The dark and deadly truth between the Hawk's newest adversary and his ties to the city of St. Roch are revealed. But how can Hawkman defeat a man-creature even more steeped in the art of war than he is?

Man...I don't know what the heck is going on, but I am absolutely here for it.
Prophet #23
Prophet finally arrives at the towers of Thauili Van. He must reach the G.O.D. satellite by climbing up, all the way to the edge of earths atmosphere past raging battles, crystalline beasts?and bizarre alien technology. All the while fighting to stay ahead of the deadly hunter who tracks him.
"Now outsander, you'll see who has more arms."
This was fantastic. I'm really loving the writing. We barely get any dialogue out of our protagonist, but he's so easy to root for regardless. The narration is brilliantly done, guiding us along as the art helps tell the story and we, the readers, just enjoy the wild ride. This has action, humour, mystery, suspense...what a delightful issue

Prophet #22
John Prophet on a mission to restart the God satellite has to join an alien caravan in order to cross a deadly desert of defunked giant robots.
Interesting start. Barely any information given, but we have a protagonist who has a mission, and for now, that's enough. Art was good not great, but the writing was solid. I liked the to-the-point narration. Kept things moving at a good pace even for a setup issue.
Prophet #21
The distant future Earth is inhabited by alien settlers that feed off of the ape-men mankind has devolved into. John Prophet awakes from cryosleep on a mission to restart the human empire.
I think this might be my last issue of this run. I rarely ever DNF books once I start them, but I'm about halfway through this Thunderbolts omni and it's been a slog for most of it. I'm not enjoying myself, and my time would be better spent on other things. I hope others enjoy this more, but unfortunately it's not for me. There's just nothing remarkable about it, and good art can only carry a seri more
