Promethea, Vol. 5 by Alan Moore
4.0
This ending to an otherwise great series felt a little tacked on. It kind of becomes a crossover book with other America's Best titles and that's whatever but you know I love a meta moment and Promethea talking directly to us as readers was what I was waiting for all along.
But Grant Morrison does it better and I guess it took me this long to realize that this is Moore's The Invisibles, which is definitely in my top 5 comics series of all time, and the anarchic chaos magic of that title spoke more to me than the ceremonial magic of Promethea. Maybe it has something to do with being raised in Protestant Christianity, that feral offshoot of Roman Catholicism, where we never stood much on tradition or ritual and believed direct knowledge of God was obtained through subjective experience.
I dunno what this has to do with anything but guys I think I'm a Christian Chaote?
