If you like epic tales or samurai, 47 Ronin is worth your time. Though a lot of set-up occurs in the first few chapters, the ending promises to be rewarding.

Spencer and Rossmo continue to deliver a spine-chilling story of one of the most interesting reformed villains ever.

Though the story grows wider, it keeps moving forward. Prophet remains a must-read for anyone that likes Sci-Fi or a complex story.

In a story that is already rich with exciting plot lines, this issue manages to turn a new leaf. The re-emergence of Robert Oppenheimer is not an arbitrary choice - something will come of this "civil war". Truth is, I can't wait, and it will be interesting to see how it fits into the events of the "real world." If you are not reading this comic, do yourself a favor and pick up one of the most exciting and unpredictable tales on the shelves, from the imagination of Jonathan Hickman.

By the end of the issue there is a twist and a resolution that can be read as either inspirational or idealistic. The writers allow their ideological intentions to propel the story, and this prevents it from being innovative or adding meaningful discourse. Expect a story that matches each fresh creative element with an unoriginal one. It ends up being a little too "easy" to be truly fulfilling, but definitely worth a look.
