A review by tiamatq
Promethea, Vol. 5 by Alan Moore
3.0
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.
