Whaa..?!?! Like, zoinks... seriously... like, zoinks. "Promethea" is an encyclopedia of uber-genius Alan Moore's mystic and linguistic understandings of, well... reality. At one point in the narrative, Promethea embarks on a literal tour that includes the Tarot deck and the kabbala and ends at the feet of the crucified Christ. Promethea herself also battles demons, helps a robot find it's soul, jokes about her breast size and ushers in the end of the world... with AMAZING art "Promethea" is Alan Moore's opus. Reads like a religious manual but with plenty of awesome comic-book shenanigans. The fifth and final graphic novel in the series -if you make it that far- could potentially change your life to the point that you will henceforth refer to yourself as "before I read Promethea" and "after I read Promethea." Yep... it is THAT out there... like, zoinks!
