Opinión sobre los 5 volúmenes: Vale, estoy muy contento de haberlo leído. No soy el lector ideal, no es mi cómic favorito, pero técnicamente es una auténtica virguería. En ese sentido lo he disfrutado a tope y me rindo a sus pies.
Me muero de ganas de discutirlo en el próximo The Spoiler Club.

Once I started this one, I pretty much had to keep going until the very end. In part, it was not as profound as the previous volumes, so that made the reading pace a bit quicker. Most of the in-depth meditation of the series was already out of the way. The nice thing about the ending, which I think is a stroke of genius for Moore, is that it leaves you with an uplifting sense of hope. And yet, you get the idea that the story will go on. This was definitely a good way to wrap up this very good and interesting series. Fans of Alan Moore will definitely like it. Readers who enjoy mythology and folklore will like it as well. In terms of appeal factors, and this is more for librarians, readers who like works like the Fables series may like this series.

overall (that is, the whole promethea series) has great art, a great concept but not so great writing. alan moore does get too new agey from the middle of the series and religious and mythological concepts are all jumbled together. his writing of dialogues get shabby too. but in terms of the concept of promethea, the immateria (esp. in a graphic novel), and the wonderful art itself, promethea is a must read (and own.)

El final de Promethea es interesante, aunque todavía no se muy bien si no me ha gustado o si simplemente es que la forma de llevar la trama que ha tenido Moore desde el tomo 3 no me ha acabado de hacer el qué. Posiblemente lo segundo. Eso sí, a nivel visual es una pasada.

I read this ages ago, except for the long, long chapter at the end. I tried to read it, but it made my eyes tired. That probably means that Alan Moore is somewhere in his English cave, twisting his rings and scowling at his voodoo doll of me, but large amounts of tiny font in front of tie-dye-ish backgrounds just doesn't work for me. And thus, I ignored writing a review or even saying I truly finished reading this series.
Okay, so what do I remember? This was a pretty good ending. It was a coming together of Promethea's "real world" aspect and her spiritual/mental/dream(?) journey. It's the end of the world, and it's Promethea's doing. It's also one of those "is she gonna destroy the world because she was told she'd be the one to destroy the world, or was she always going to destroy it no matter what" sort of deals. I felt like, with the build up of the past four books, this finished rather quickly and then moved on to Alan Moore's history of the world/magic chapter. Overall, I liked the series, but I could've gone without. The artwork was one of the strongest points of the series.

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.

This graphic novel series made me feel stupid. Very, very, stupid. I still don’t get it, but the artwork was really good.
