A tale about a sentient story who manifests herself in the physical world by inspiring the minds of artists and writers in each generation and subsequently inhabiting their bodies, endowing them with goddess-like superpowers?
Alan Moore, could you please try to be a little more imaginative?
Seriously. Anything Mr. Moore writes is worth looking into. The man's doubtlessly hallucinogenic fueled mind is a wellspring of penetrating premises and poetic prose.
Favorite quotes from Book One of Promethea include the following:
"It was not [her] that I loved. It was the fantasy I'd spun about her. Now that fantasy had fled, I sometimes doubt it ever truly happened, and was not instead some dream of mine. But things are ever thus with faeries and romance."
"...All war and conflict, is naught but the failure of imagination."
Always entertaining, Mr. Moore.
