Promethea, Vol. 5

2006Mick Gray

4.1/5

This is the conclusion to the Promethea tale told by Alan Moore. It has been a trippy series indeed. I thought the last volume was better and would have made a good ending. This was a little bit of a let down. The story does break the 4th wall and the reader becomes part of the story and we talk to Promethea in the story. I do like that aspect of the story and think it was an excellent device. It worked for the character, but the 1st part of the story is the end of the world and that was sort of blah. There is an epilogue that is just musing on all kinds of trippy ideas that I thought were good, but it felt too long. I feel like this has been an excellent series and it was right up my alley. I have enjoyed the esoteric thinking the book conveys and the new things Alan Moore has done with the genre. It is a unique series and I think it’s worth reading. It’s not your typical super hero book. It really is more philosophy in many ways. I’m pleased as punch with this.
