I thought about rereading the first 4 issues but I forgot how long they are.
Just not feeling it. Still interested in reading Prophet though.

Strange curious ending. Instead of letting really any of his set-up pay off, Graham turns away. The early themes of dispossession re-emerge in full force, and the super-criminal come-butler, his little hungry friend, and the affable parallel figure from the first issue end up in a happy little work arrangement, away from drama of what feels like a kind of sore-loser heavy-handed croquet/court-trial cancel-culture metaphor, which, like, I get it given everything in this life, but so much for a “healing manga” like, idk, I’m honestly kinda reeling from how he doesn’t manage to stick the landing here. Ripping the rug out instead of really resolving everything. Maybe I just need time to really digest this? Mm.
