'''''Promethea''''' is a [[comic book]] [[ongoing series|series]] created by [[Alan Moore]], [[J. H. Williams III]] and Mick Gray, published by [[America's Best Comics]]/[[WildStorm]].

It tells the story of Sophie Bangs, a [[college]] student from an alternate futuristic New York City in 1999, who embodies the powerful entity known as Promethea whose task it is to bring the Apocalypse.

Originally published as 32 issues from 1999 to 2005, the series has been re-published into five graphic novels and one hard-back issue. Moore weaves in elements of magic and [[mysticism]] along with [[superhero]] mythology and action, [[spirituality]] and the [[afterlife]] (in particular the [[Tree of Life (Kabbalah)|Tree of Life]]) and [[science-fiction]]. ''Promethea'' includes wide-ranging experimentation with visual styles and art.
