Volume Description

Because of the bankruptcy of Awesome Comics in 2000, may of Alan Moore's revamps are left unfinished.  The Glory stories are the only ones where we can assume Alan Moore addressed with his America's Best Comics' Promethea series.  There are many debates how much Promethea is based on Glory. Alan Moore was working on Glory in Avatar press as well in 2001, which continued the Awesome story series by reprinting issue zero and then stopping at issue #2.  Legal reasons are believed to be the reason Glory had to be canceled once more.  For that short period in which Moore was working on both Glory and Promethea, the stories were different.
 
The main link between Promethea and Glory are that they are an empowering woman who work as avatars to the types of stories Alan Moore would of told if he had a chance to work on DC Comics Wonder Woman.
