Here's what folks are already saying about the first issue of PRODIGAL: EGG OF FIRST LIGHT
"Exotic locations, earth-shattering stakes, dialogue you wish you'd written, heroic bad-assery, and a macguffin to die for. Larger than life villains versus equally outsized heroes. This is the stuff we're talking about when we talk about action-adventure." - DWAYNE MCDUFFIE (JLU, BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE, MILESTONE)
A hidden monastery.A group of chanting monks.A pack of kill crazy ninjas.A secret, powerful prize worth killing any number of men for.And a pair of heroes on the case.All elements that would go into making the perfect action flick.Or what you experience in the first eight pages of Prodigal, written by Geoffrey Thorne, drawn by Todd Harris, and coming soon from Ape Entertainment...To go any further into describing the tale would ruin the readers’ opportunity to discover this world and these new heroes for themselves. What can be said is that the writer and artist presented a thrilling ride in the opening 24 pages of a double sized first issue that left this reviewer wanting more.Our heroine and hero bring to this reviewer’s mind such classic pairs as Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy or Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd in the easy way writer Thorne turns the dialogue between Ms. Jacinto and Mr. Lennox in a cross between a ballet and a fifteen round bout worth of Ali and Frazier...Full article at COMICS WAITING ROOM.

Todd Harris knows how to tell stories with pictures. PRODIGAL is an adrenaline rush of babes, bullets and blood. A blast to look at and read. - SCOTT STEWART (director of PRIEST and LEGION)

The link takes you to a preview of the entire book, and from what I can tell, it’s not bad. Light action-adventure, lively dialogue, very good art. Pretty straightforward. Let’s see how it does.
