    <body><![CDATA[I can't find Book 3 anywhere!  Wahhhhhhhhhhh!  I've tried both Midtown Comics locations, and Silver Age Comics as well... I need Book 3 or I'm gonna go nuts!<br/><br/>Book 2 was AWESOME of course!  It's pretty cool when Promethea has sex with Faust... I'm gonna have to try that position!  ;)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While the meta-metaphysics of Moore's story is exciting in and of itself, this is where the plot and action of Promethea takes off from its myriad allusions and becomes an engaging superhero comic on top of being a compelling synthesis of imagination, myth, religion, history, and archetype.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This wasn't quite as entertaining as the first collection, at least for me. The first half was good, but the second half, which got very woo-woo theoretical with the magick and the tarot got a little boring. I'm hoping the third collection will be a little bit more engaging.<br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Alan Moore on autopilot is still fun.  A few ideas seem like Grant Morrison light.   Which is weird.  I do wonder whether the cosmology in the series is his actual belief system.  Is he using this fiction to summon gods?  He is an actual practicing warlock so...]]></body>
