Here is the 8 page story “War/Love” from my Not For Prophet zine. The zine also contained another 12 pages or so of sketches which I need to post at some point.
I made this story for fun between projects. It’s funny because I was actually working on my science fiction romance story for Speculative Relationships: Volume 2 (Kickstarting now BTW, please take a look!) while finishing this up. I was using this story as kind of a playground for ideas I had about romance comics, which eventually informed a lot of what i’m doing for Speculative Relationships.
In a perfect world, this story was actually supposed to be more like 20 pages and I’d have been able to color it and yadda yadda yadda. But it was a super fun fan comic that allowed me to also meditate on the things I love about the Prophet relaunch (the metaphors in the story are pretty thinly veiled) and put my own spin on the Prophet+Yilala relationship (a small part of the book that I always wanted more of).
Also I wanted to say that Brandon, Simon, Farel, Joseph, and all the Prophet team that I met and handed the zine to at ECCC were super awesome about it and I really appreciated that. And big thanks to them for making great comics. Also a shout out to prophetsharing for fostering a cool fan art community for Prophet.
I want to do another zine (maybe after the series ends?) and include some art from other prophet fans… if anyone is interested? Let me know.
