This is typical Alan Moore in both art and story. It's not my favorite line art, but the use of color and detail is really well done. It's imaginative, grotesque and charming in equal parts, very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland with the story's juxtaposition of whimsical and horrible. There's also a lot of nods to New Age and ancient religion concepts, both in story and art. The story itself can sometimes get bogged down with the sense that Moore is trying to cram as much info about Promethea into every panel as possible. But aside from those lecturing moments, I liked the concept of Imagination as a world-shaping force. I don't think I'll continue with the series, as the main characters don't have enough of a personality to keep me turning the page (although I can see where in a few volumes, they will).
