Synopsis
Comics scriptwriting supremo Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke) is once again forging the future of graphic novels with an all-new line up of incredible comic creations under his own imprint, America's Best Comics. Sophie Bangs' research into legendary character Promethea, a warrior woman whose myth has endured through the centuries, gets a little more intensive than perhaps she'd have liked...to the extent where a deadly shadow creature is trying to kill her. Is Sophie the new Promethea? If she can't unravel the age-old secret she'll just be dead!

Review
Alan Moore, like Neil Gaiman, constantly flirts with the too-smart-for-his-own-good aesthetic without alienating his readers. Promethea weaves Moore's trademark scholarly mysticism with wild, fun swipes at post-everything culture in a complex tale based on the importance of story. Following a teenage girl, whose interest in an obscure and possibly real heroine leads to her assumption of the heroine's role, Promethea draws on a century of comics art to express themes of history and fiction. Action, intimacy, fantasy, and ennui all find their place, and when it's over, the reader will hunger for the next collection. --Rob Lightner
