Posiblemente este tomo tiene una de las cosas que más me han gustado del tebeo. Espectacular a nivel visual, pero sigue cargando con la pesadez de la trama sobre la cábala. Que sinceramente me aburre y hace que no termine de conectar con la historia.

I am loving this story so far. I almost gave this 5 stars. I probably should have.

We have made it to the top of the Tree of Life. This is the oneness and the god position. Being one with god. They have made it through several realms. I love going through this tree of life in this format. It seems to make more sense what is going on. It does have relationships to the Chakra system and what is happening.

Barb meets her Steve at last and the two are happy. Now, all 3 of them have to jump from the height back into the physical. They all take the leap.

Sophie lands back in her body. She sees Stacie and tries to thank her for being her replacement, but Stacie is not going to give up being Promethea. She likes the power. They end up in a cosmic court battle to determine who gets to be Promethea. It's wonderful.

I'm changing my mind. I've giving this 5 stars. It was a great story. I didn't like the fight between the 2 Promethea's, but it has been a mind-blowing story so far. I only hope the last volume will give us a great ending. I wasn't too happy what happened at the end, but I'm willing to see where it goes.

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

The mystical stuff is still spectacular, the friendship between Barb and Sophie is one of the loveliest I have ever read but the plotty stuff is so phoned in and perfunctory you can see the whole book just shuddering to a halt every time. Plus whoever told Moore he can do funny song lyrics really needs to think about their actions

I would give this a 3.5 if I could, but I can't give it a full 4 stars. The middle dragged. The only thing the saved this installment was the last chapter and a half.

Most of this book is spent watching Sophie and Barbara become more and more enlightened as they: identify a sigil as Hebrew! meet legendary magicians! get in touch with their emotions! have kinky sex! etc. Luckily, Sophie and Barbara eventually meet God and thus, end their quest. Their stupid, boring, intermidible quest.

Luckily, Sophie's return to earth also marks a return to plot. Though that she's met God and been assured of her purpose, some of the other Prometheas are less sanguine about her role. A battle and then a metaphysical court case ensues. Meanwhile, two (awesome) FBI agents try to track down the roots of Promethea, and a sociopath villain (the Doll, who should have died many trade paperbacks ago) makes yet more trouble.

Word of advice: if you are reading these for the first time, make sure that you have book 5 at hand. You will want it immediately when you are done with this volume.
