Those looking for the disturbed hard edge grit of Moore's Watchmen or the twisted up horror of From Hell will be massively disappointed. Furthermore, if you come into this looking for a superhero book with a strong female lead you have been misinformed. Promethea is Moore's most intimately fantastical work to date. It begins as a slightly complicated super hero book set in the same world as Tom Strong (spoiler?) and quickly evolves into a treatise on Magick, Qabbalah, and the imagination. As an accessible intro to Qabbalah you could do much worse, as a practical and accessible intro to the principles of modern Occult thought I'm not sure you could do better. Entertaining, complex, and educational. If one is properly prepared for the tone and scope of this one they will find it all of those things.
