A review by wayward
Promethea, Vol. 5 by Alan Moore

3.0

Overall, despite a lot of lovely artwork, this series was just a slog. Despite devouring Mercedes Lackey and the like as a teenager, turns out I'm just not that interested in magic, at least the deeply mystic aspect. And the system of magic presented at great length never paid off, plot-wise. Promethea never used anything she learned, always defaulting to the battle sequence of wave-hand/grimace/smug-stoner-cliché/victory! Glad to be done with this series.
