THE NEW 'PROPHET' IS CLUTCH
Its unlike anything you've seen from Extreme Studios - its good! Really good! If you were a fan of 70s Heavy Metal Magazine & Métal Hurlant, I think you'll dig this. You don't need to know anything prior to #21. Go check it out - its crazy!

That's right - I said 'clutch'
I've got all the issues so far too. I have to agree. It's clutch! Lots of people are talking about this series. It's getting lots of good reviews across the board. I think the whole Extreme relaunch has been great. With Avengelyne, Bloodstrike, and Glory out and the new Supreme coming out tomorrow. I think people could be changing their minds about Liefeld comics.
Yeah, 'Prophet' is awesome!
I'm also really enjoying 'Glory'.
I didn't pick up Bloodstrike, though... flipped through it at the store, but it didn't hook me. Maybe it was the 5 pages of him talking to a shrink?? I don't know.... is it worth picking up?
I've never cared for Avengelyne on any level, so I'll be skipping that one.
I will also be skipping Supreme. While I LOVED Alan Moore's run, I'm very disappointed they are following it up with frickin' Eric Larson - the preview pages look terrible!!!!
I am looking forward to the new 'Youngblood'. Is Liefeld drawing it or just doing layouts? It looks like his work, but feels tighter. Glad to see the original Diehard design is back!
Supreme's first issue is going to be Alan Moore's final script. So, I don't know you might like it. Larsen is writing and doing layouts, but it's going to just get better and better as it goes.
Jon Malin is drawing Youngblood. He's a personal friend of mine, he's got his own style. I think Rob did some layouts for the first issue, but after that he's just doing alt. covers.
I'll definitely pick up the first Supreme to check out the Alan Moore. I've never been a fan of Larson's writing (or art, really), so I don't know.... but I'll give it a chance.
Has Malin have any art samples online to check out? I'm looking forward to Youngblood's return... I'll definitely check it out!
Here's a little preview from CBR:

Completely agree with TimPro there, the Extreme relaunch is absolutely outstanding. Can't wait to get Supreme tonight, and Youngblood next month!
Just picked up the Supreme issue... hopefully I'll be able to read it tonight.
