I again use the final TPB as a synecdoche for the whole run. Top notch stuff, possibly the only comic I've read to out-weird Grant Morrison without nosediving into incoherence. With stronger characters it would have been a 5-star.

I legitimately could not tell you what I just read, but I loved it. A lot.*

*this is relevant for the entire Prophet series.

If anything I'm miffed that it's over.

What a pleasant surprise, in which this series really impacted how I see sci-fi, the last story to do that was Hyperion.

The final volume is a step backwards for what has been a wild, weird ride overall. More of a coda or epilogue rather than a proper conclusion, Earth War returns to the familiar weirdness of the first volume, but with little of the first volume’s inventiveness or brilliant shocks.
