(4,5/5)
Formalmente es una obra maestra absoluta, y por eso lo puntúo alto. Es una auténtica exhibición de recursos narrativos.
Sigo pensando que no soy exactamente el público diana. Tiene un punto didáctico sobre la magia que, cuando se pone por encima de la trama, a mi me pierde a veces (otras explica tan bien que no puedo más que aplaudir).
Seguimos para bingo.

This is just getting silly but the art is still awesome.

Sophie's adventures as Promethea continue as she goes deeper into the Immateria. Meanwhile, there is a replacement back on Earth, but she is a bit more aggressive. Only reason I did not give this five stars is that this particular volume is a bit heavy on the Kabbalah and mystical references. I find them interesting, but Moore does lay them a bit thick at times. I think some readers may not be as interested as I am. Like previous volumes, this is one I will probably have to reread just to get all of it. The art on this is very good overall; some of the pages though are meant to be read sideways or upside down, so that threw me off a bit, but then you get used to it. It helps to immerse you in the story. If you like symbols, mythology, exploring imagination, so on, then you will definitely enjoy this. It may make you want to go read some more on mythology and related topics. I know I have a need to go read a bit more on Kabbalah, and that is likely a good thing; the book encourages one to seek more knowledge and learning. A good story, and one that leaves you wanting more. I am definitely continuing the series.

Eh. It was a little better than the last volume, in that the metaphysical ramblings were at least witty and entertaining, but I'm still kind of bored with it. Glad I'm getting these from the library!

Creo que ya se cual es mi problema con Promethea. Ya lo comentaré en su momento. Tal vez de los 3 tomos que tengo leídos este es el más interesante a nivel de narrativa visual ( aunque sigo pensando que hay cosas que se podrían narrar mejor) el problema es que el tema en concreto se me atraganta.

I am enjoying this. It's my cup of tea. The story just keeps getting more trippy and more trippy.
Sophie is Promethea. The previous Promethea died and when Sophie visited the higher realm she saw the previous one named Barbara going on into the world beyond the veil, basically into source and symbols. Sophie decides to journey with her. The Promethea council OKs the decision and a Interim Promethea is sent back to Earth. She is intense and willing to kill and be a little more brutal.
Sophie ends up in this after-after world place and she realizes that it is the tree of life and there are 10 zones corresponding with that symbol in Kabbalah. I have done a brief amount of study into the Tree of Life and I enjoy it. Caroline Myss combines the Chakras and the Tree of Life together for great effect, but still, she does not go into details about the Tree of Life. Alan Moore is exploring the Tree of Life in such a cool way. I want to know more about it after reading this. I loved the world that was a Mobius strip and see them looping through time. This is some very cool stuff.
I'm glad I'm able to get this story from the library and I totally want to finish off the other 2 books in this series. The story is a surprise and not what I expected in any way. Each issue keeps surprising me and I think this is a great story so far. I hope it has a great ending.

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