☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis premiere hardcover collects the first story arc of Marvel's 2007 adaptation of Orson Scott Card's alternate-history fantasy series. The tale follows Alvin Maker, a young man with unique magical abilities in an early 19th-century America where folk magic is real and history has diverged from our own. This volume adapts the events of the novel 'Red Prophet,' focusing on Alvin's journey and his encounters with the mystical forces of the land and its native peoples.
In "null," Bill Harrison’s desperate attempt to manipulate Hooch backfires, forcing him into a deadly choice, while Alvin and Measure find themselves taken by a group of Indians, caught in a tense situation with no clear path forward. The story unfolds with quiet dread, balancing personal stakes against the larger, unseen forces at play.
In "null," tension boils as Ta-Kumsaw arrives to stop the Indians from killing Alvin and Measure, while the townspeople of Vigor rage over the boys' abduction. The fragile peace hangs by a thread as old wounds and new fears collide.
In "null," Ta-Kumsaw leads Alvin and Measure to meet the prophet Tenskwa-Tawa, who reveals to Alvin a haunting vision of Crystal City. As the fragile peace frays, the Vigor townspeople brace for war with the Indians, caught between fear and fate.
