Promethea's the kind of book that, every time you think you should drop it, that you can live without it, that it's so abstract that you'd be better off waiting for the next trade, you get to an undeniably brilliant, medium-bending passage in the issue at hand and realize that you'd be a fool not to read a 24-page continuing panel that loops back over itself, or see Hermes stare at the reader, recognizing that he's in a comic book, as soon as you f**king could.
The first twelve issues of Promethea focused on the dawning of a new Promethea and her adventures in a retrofuturistic city. Beginning with #13 and running through #25 (published bimonthly over two years), the title embarked upon a lengthy story exploring (if not dissecting) the world of magic framed around Promethea's journey through the Immateria.
Alan Moore at one of his magical best.
