Found a copy of "Prometheus 15 - The Village (2015)" on the binaries newsgroup a.b.c.d!

The series is STILL not done. One of these days we MIGHT see the next issue "Prometheus 16 - Dissidence" (release date on the Soleil website was 02/11/2017)

MegaMarvel,

I think "Ballad of the Sea Salt" might actually be the first issue. From what I understand on the Casterman (publisher) website there are black and white editions and color editions. The first issue in the B&W series is, in fact, "Ballad of the Sea Salt". What is really confusing is that the color editions show it as both 1 & 2!?! The casterman web page does a terrible job of organizing the different issues into a easily recognizable sequence.

On the other hand the "official" webpage offers a simple, sequential list:
