PROPHET looks and feels just like a Spaghetti Western, but really belongs more to the worlds of horror and gangsterdom. If Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci had started out with a graphic novel on a storyboard, it might well have looked something like this.

and ONCE UPON A TIME IN ITALY: THE WESTERNS OF SERGIO LEONE)
It’s the story of a killer who wants to stop, but doesn’t know how. And so it’s the story of a man grappling with not only his inner demons, but external ones, as well...There’s much to discover here from both artists...I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
JIM KRUEGER (Writer, JUSTICE for DC Comics, EARTH X for Marvel, PROJECT SUPERPOWERS

It brings the gun-slinging action of old Spaghetti Westerns to the supernatural thrill ride of CONSTANTINE and rolls it up into one very exciting, suspenseful thriller you won’t be able to put down.
DEVIN SHAWN CURRY (Host, Shazap.com)
A moody mix of gritty noir and supernatural suspense. Good stuff!

Reading PROPHET is like taking a roller coaster ride through heaven and hell. Hopefully, one will read PROPHET with their eyes wide open and seatbelts securely fastened.
KEN EULO (New York Times bestselling author of THE BROWNSTONE trilogy, CLAW, and HOUSE OF CAIN)
In PROPHET, Daniel Corey brings us an intense narrative tale with a mix of gangsters, ghouls and girls liberally sprinkled with a dash of black humor. Add to that illustrator Anthony Diecidue’s cinematic storytelling all wonderfully rendered in his bravura computer painting style and you have a solid winner. Each issue is a major leap forward.
