The 40 Years of Comics Project, Day 927 - Prophet #40, October 2013

https://www.comics.org/issue/1155397/

Sorry. A short one today. There's a strange ballet of godlike beings going on in this series right now, and the various Prophets and their allies seem to be caught in the middle of something that they, and we, barely understand. The Troll want to lure Badrock out of the Bleed and into some kind of confrontation.

Where did the concept of the Bleed originally come from? I think it must have been Warren Ellis's Stormwatch, but it seems to have been adopted, at least by the three major superhero publishers, as a shorthand to facilitate crossovers between companies. If all universes intersect with the Bleed, then all combinations of heroes are theoretically possible.

To be continued.
