funny,i was gonna do a post about this issue.the first time in a long time i have actually taken time over reading a comic book and being really drawn in by it.beautiful cover,amazing artwork.i don't care if it is self-indulgent,at least it has something to say.as ususal,mr moore seems to have tapped into something very profound,here it's about language,ideas,belief and religion.It's an interesting paradox in that people create gods/heroes through their own imagination and language,so how can they be superior beings when they are created by us?obviously they represent ideas and themes which are deep,sacred and common to all people and i guess this is part of what promethea is about?communication is a big part of the theme of this issue,in which i felt it was easy to become aware that the reader is involved with a kind of dialogue with mr.alan moore,his ideas,and his love and respect for history,heroes and archetypes .more!! |
