I'm sorry if this question has alreay been addressed, but I got a notice from Borders/Barnes and Noble this morning that Red Prophet- The Tales of Alvin Maker Volume 1 is available.
I noticed that there are more authors and illustrators listed for this book. Is it the same or different from the original Red Prophet?

It is a comic book version.

Just finished reading it, I loved it...thought it was great! Extremely faithful to the book so far and really nice to "see it".

I'm not sure why it took me 6 months to get around to reading the RED PROPHET comics, but they are really good.
I read Red Prophet (the novel) about 10 years ago. At the time, it was not one of my favorites. I think I would have enjoyed it better, but I read it soon after Lovelock and Seventh Son -- two of my all-time OSC Top 10.
The graphic novel form has allowed me to go back and experience the story again with a fresh set of eyes--especially knowing now how the Alvin Maker series will develop in its many sequels. I have an appreciation for the story that now that I somehow missed ten years ago.

I've been listening to the whole series again and I'm hoping to hear that the last book is going to be out soon as I just finished Heartfire.

I just finished Red Prophet Vol 2 (issues 6-12). I was very impressed. I hope Marvel decides to adapt the other books in the series, especially Seventh Son which explains many of the concepts only alluded to in Red Prophet.

I'm not going to be truly happy until the next/last Alvin book actually comes out. Any word on that, guys?
