- I am Promethea. There's nothing else like me. I am the holy splendor of the imagination. I cannot be destroyed.

Promethea #2 is an issue of the series Promethea (Volume 1) with a cover date of September, 1999.
Synopsis for "The Judgment of Solomon"
Promethea flies Barbara Shelley to a hospital and leaves her there. She then calls her friend Stacia and asks to meet her. Stacia agrees to meet her outside the club where she is watching a Limp concert. Meanwhile, Benny Solomon sends two demons, Andras and Marchosias, to kill Promethea and her host, the teenage Sophie Bangs. The two demons, in the form of men, take a hover-cab to the club where they have determined Promethea is heading to.
Stacia meets Promethea outside the club and is told that Sophie turned into Promethea through a series of events that cannot be explained right now. Promethea explains that she does not know how to change back to Sophie and Stacia suggests that she act more like Sophie and see if that works. Promethea agrees and goes into the club with Stacia to see the band Limp. Andras and Marchosias exit the hover-cab and Andras causes the cab driver to commit suicide. The demons enter the club and start fighting Promethea. Promethea blasts them both, and while she is distracted by Stacia, the demons open a door to Immateria and escape. Stacia is caught in the vortex and taken into Immateria as well. Standing in the destroyed club, Promethea calls for Stacia.
