Description

Prophet #34 cover art
by Matt Sheean and Malachi Ward
Story by Brandon Graham & Simon Roy
Image Comics - Published February 27th, 2013

This is absolutely one of my favorite covers from the Prophet series. Sheean and Ward managed to capture hints of Dali and Moebius in this cover and many thanks to them for making this one happen.

New father Prophet survives an assassination attempt while an unseen 13,000-year-old creature from Old Earth manipulates the Empire council. If you follow the series you will notice many of the covers creating a sense of atmosphere and the sci-fi world of prophet. Series writer, Brandon Graham wrote on his blog, "I like the idea of these Prophet covers to not just be rehashing what’s inside the issue but showing some image that hopefully make the reader think about the expansive sci fi universe we’re trying to set up."

Some words from Malachi Ward on the collaborative process with Matt Sheean, "The way Matt Sheean and I collaborate has evolved since we started working together in 2010. The current project is collaborative the whole way through. Matt and I talked about the overall plot and characters for some time, eventually refining outlines to the point that we could begin thumbnailing/writing the pages. We split that duty, Matt would thumbnail one sequence, I’d thumbnail the next. We then go over the whole thing together and do pretty extensive edits to the layouts and dialogue. Matt pencils, I edit pencils. I ink, Matt edits the inks. Coloring we split too, Matt usually gets that started.

It’s hard for me to imagine working this closely with any one else on a big project. Sensibilities and skills have to be complementary. For Matt and I it happens really naturally. I think it also helps that we have our own comics that we’re heavily invested in."
