Prophecy of the Soul Sorcerer is an interesting book about a supernatural/arcane/religious battle between good and evil. The story is very unique, and the main character is extremely well rounded and likable.

This is not your run-of-the-mill good versus evil story. It’s a story of hidden corruption in what is allegedly a new church. A soul robber pretending to be a minister leads his loyal followers to crime, death, and destruction. The main character, Nighthawk, grew up listening to his mother tell him African folklore only to discover that all of the folklore is true. Nighthawk’s mother knew about his powers but never told him about them. After the evil warriors killed her, he discovered what his powers were and now fights to thwart evil. Nighthawk’s real name is Elijah Alexander. Elijah’s girlfriend is a detective for the New York PD. While Elijah fights the arcane elements of Reverend Hope’s ministry, Elijah’s girlfriend investigates the ever crumbling façade of his church.

The art for the most part is very stylized. The art has this sleek, very science fiction-fantasy look to it. While the art excels in looking very stylized. it lacks correct proportions and anatomy.

Overall the book is original and intriguing, and the art shouldn’t be a reason for not picking up the book. The story has adventure, love, drama, intrigue, and a good supernatural detective story.
