Promethea is awesome but nor nfor everyone. Most people I've recommended it to found it very boring. A great series for those interested in the occult.
@archer1949 The ideas covered in Promethea are significant enough to warrant translation into other languages, and adaptation into other media. Despite Moore's name, the comic is still fairly obscure.
For me, Promethea is not only the crowning achievement of Alan Moore's very distinguished career, but of the comic book medium itself. MOST HIGH praise indeed.
Awesome praise! While I prefer the stories in Miracleman, Watchmen and Supreme more, I think Promethea is the finest example of expanding and experimenting with the comics medium.
yeah, i read the trades, and by the end of book3 i was beginning to get a little tired of the preachy-ness and the info-overload. don't get me wrong i love alan moore, but i think he can be a little over indulgent at times. still he deserves to be i guess, considering all the brilliant works he's created.
oh yeah absolutely, and promethea is such a great character, especially considering there still aren't that many 3-dimensional and realistic female comic characters out there (in my opinion). Moore often uses strong female leads to good effect. i guess he's got to that stage in his life where he just wants to write about what he loves, and its obvious this magic stuff etc means a lot to him and he writes about it very engagingly, so fair-does i say.
Promethea is the most amazing book i've ever had the pleasure to experience I dont think this review gives it the respect it deserves

@MrJuliajanemoore We agree. Some of our older reviews tending to veer off course. Hopefully you'll enjoy our newer episodes more.

Promethea is a beautiful piece of work. It is my favorite work by Alan Moore.

Say, have any of you read Vol. 2 of the "Promethea" series? It's the best!

I've read the entire series, and I consider it required reading.

Yes, my biggest criticism is that it ceases to be a story, and become a lesson in magic/philosophy. Still enjoyable though... :)
