In the second issue, in order to cross a desert, Prophet joins an alien caravan where each of these giant alien beasts feeds off the waste of the creature in front of it until eventually the waste becomes a refined product that they go around selling. The aliens that live in it are a fermentation-based caste society. The city is in a living spaceship that died after it landed and is slowly rotting. Graham said, "In the first issue, Prophet has to blend into an alien city and find his contact to get orders. The book takes place approximately ten thousand years in the future. Written by Brandon Graham with art by Simon Roy, Prophet continued the numbering of the previous series and launched with issue #21 in January 2012. Image Comics announced at the 2011 New York Comic Con that Liefeld's line of Extreme Studios comics would return with the revival of five titles, including Prophet. The aesthetic of the series changed dramatically with this issue, along with the tone of the writing and larger design of the comic. A one-shot was released in 2000 by Awesome Comics. A second series, written by Chuck Dixon, premiered in 1995 and lasted eight issues. The storyline in Youngblood led directly into Prophet's own title, which lasted eleven issues (including a zero issue). I soon decided that I was going to work on stuff that was creator-owned, so I pulled the character of Prophet and saved him for later." Liefeld explained to Wizard: "He was going to show up around #6 or #7 in my original plans, and the cover to Youngblood #2 originally had X-Force members looking on instead of Youngblood members.

He's always thought of himself as a good person, and now he's discovering that the things he did were hideous by all standards of human decency. Stephen Platt, Prophet artist from 1994 to 1996, explained that the character "feel responsible for the things that people forced him to do, even though he can't remember them. It was later discovered that Prophet was not always in stasis after World War II, and had been used as "a mindless weapon of war" in Vietnam. Eventually found by Youngblood, Prophet awakens disoriented, in a world he does not recognize, and he mistakes Youngblood for the Disciples and attacks. Wells planned for Prophet to be placed into stasis for many years and then re-emerge in the future to help Wells's people fight the evil Disciples.
