Arrrggghhh!!

On Mondays I have two hours from the time I get off work to the time my evening class starts. This evening, I grabbed some food and settled down to finish Promethea.

Trouble is, I can't finish it because the story arc isn't completed in Volume 1 of the collected issues. Which means placing an order on Amazon this evening and then waiting a few days for it to arrive. Now, I'm not usually someone who demands instant gratification, but I do get a bit riled when a story unexpectedly becomes a cliff-hanger, when I was expecting a resolution by the time I reach the back cover.

You might have warned me, Christine!! ;-)

oh, i think "cliffhanger" is a bit strong. but yes, volume 1 does end in the middle of a story arc.

but i wouldn't have thought of it, because i read promethea issue by issue. i don't have an incredibly clear idea of what's in which book. ;>

the TPBs are unfortunately just arranged in groups of six (i think). that means vol. 2 ends somewhere reasonable, if i recall correctly, but vol. 1 and vol. 3 don't. when lending, i try to give out vols. 1 & 2 together to get around that problem.
