This Prophet storyline is more straightforward but doesn't suffer for it. The world being explored still feels strange and alien yet visceral.

Not a fan of the ‘script' pages with full text. Otherwise, this continues to be very good.
Can you really call yourself a friend if you don't journey into the furthers depths of Muspelheim to retrieve the blade of the demon fire god, Surtur?
There???s a lot of potential here, with the story narrowing at the end of the first volume. I love the color palette used, but the compositions need more balance to focus on the protagonist.
I love the concept of this series but I found the writing style(s) to be too discordant. You'll have occasional moments where story beats just flow but they are rare, at least in this first volume. That being said, Christian Ward's psychedelic illustrations are compelling enough to keep me going.
