Jan 04, 2013 Mariel rated it 3 of 5 stars Recommends it for: it was weird reading pop culture references to the Verve

Recommended to Mariel by: an exboyfriend and once he called me on the phone only to look for his copy of this and it was like why the hell did you even call me for then. So annoying. I didn't read this for years because of that.

"So you just wrote a POEM about Promethea and you BECAME her?"
"That's right. Do you think if I want to be Sophie again I should write about HER?"

Stacia, the sidekick who treats the skinny college girl heroine upstart as the shadow's embarrassing shadow is in her darkened behind sidekick place. I never really craved that kind of female friendship anyway, (what is it to anyone else how many guys their girl pals screw, anyway?).

Sei es V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Swamp Thing oder From Hell - alles was er geschrieben hat, gehört zur Crème de la Crème des Genres.

Alan Moore has always been hit and miss for me. I can appreciate what he did with Watchmen, but it didn't ring my bell the way it seems to have done for so many other people. The one that really bit into me and didn't let go was V for Vendetta, which I do in fact absolutely love.

A powerful female figure associated with imagination, Promethea keeps popping up in seemingly unrelated texts as well as in real life events.

In which a chain-smoking Little Red Riding Hood sports a machine gun. A weeping gorilla laments not buying windows 95, and a hack writer misspells himself a path to Godhood.

Promethea has much to offer for both the general reader and writers alike. The tale begins with two stories, delicately interwoven. The great thing about the narrative technique used in the first chapter is that we get the legend underlying the modern-day tale without inhibiting the story.

If Prometheus, the man who stole fire from the gods and gave it to men, figures technology, then Promethea must figure the imagination. In Alan Moore’s vision, she grew up in America, with 18th century roots in obscure colonial poetry, and only came of age in the twentieth century, in comics and pulp fiction. A triumph of wit and responsibility working together, Promethea gives a role to every female paragon -- Wisdom, Sensitivity, the Woman Warrior, and even French feminist Hélène Cixous -- ins...more

I decided to read Promethea after coming across the description on this list of "10 Great Female [Comic Book:] Characters of the Decade" (2000-2009). It reads, in part: Promethea is one of the most important female characters I think in the last decade, in fact, she may be the most important, just not my personal favorite. . . . the title character in her own book, and with barely a man to be seen for issues and issues (something that seems completely natural here) is one of the most epic characters I’ve ever read in a comic book – Moore’s ideas barely contained on the page . . . I was a bit surprised to see his name on this list--while he writes better females than most in comics, they still generally aren't the best and he seems to have a fixation with sex. Still, I was intrigued enough to give it a try. As is often the case with his work, I was absolutely blown away by some aspects of it and left unmoved by others. It’s unlike anything else I’ve read in Graphic Literature.

I love the concept. Working from the existence of characters named Promethea in actual literature, writers who should have had no knowledge of each other yet who did related things with the same name, Moore has created a character that embodies the very idea of imagination, a character who can take material form through artists who are particularly in touch with her entity. She appears in different forms at different times through the bodies of different people as they have imagined her. She began as an actual Egyptian girl whose holy man father was killed by Christians in Alexandria in 411 A.D.

“I am two of your father’s gods. I am Thoth-Hermes and I cannot keep you safe. Not in this present world.”

“Why not?”

“Only in my world, the Immateria, can I protect you . . . and there you would no longer be a little girl. You’d be a story.”

“W-would I still be alive? Would I be able to come back and visit this world?”

“You would live eternally, as stories do. As for coming back, well . . . sometimes, if a story is very special, it can quite take people over. We’ll see.”

This story takes place in an alternate 1999-2005, with Sophie Bangs as the latest Promethea after working on a college research paper about Promethea’s various literary incarnations. In an effort to understand her new role, Sophie travels throughout the land of imagination—the Immateria—heaven, and many other types of existence, all while trying to avoid enemies who fear that Promethea is destined to bring about the apocalypse. It is a vast journey through mysticism, magic, mythology, symbolism, spiritualism, Kabbalah, tarot cards, religion, imagination—a huge interweaving of many ways humanity has sought knowledge, wisdom, insight, and enlightenment.

I’m in awe of Moore’s inventiveness and ambition as a storyteller. He constantly experiments with the ways words and images can be used to convey meaning, with layer upon layer of both taking his story to incredible depths. He uses various visual styles, parallel word flows, color schemes, circular page structures, photography, and so much more than can be described in his attempts to capture ideas too big for the page. If you’re at all interested in seeing how comics can be more than simple drawings in panels with dialogue bubbles, you need to read this.

Unfortunately, Moore is more concerned with trying to communicate his spiritual and religious ideas than with telling a story. Many of the issues/chapters are exposition on a concept and he’s more often didactic than narrative. In some ways, it’s almost an instructive textbook in graphic format. I found these ideas interesting, but they fail to convey the enlightenment I think he was hoping they would.

One attempt at an example. This bit unfolds along the bottom of the pages over the course of an issue/chapter, unveiled in parallel to an explication of what the tarot cards symbolize, Sophie/Promethea’s commentary on that explanation, anagrams of Promethea on each page (meth opera, heart poem), and many accompanying visuals. The layers are missing, but here’s a metaphor:

We come from mirrors, come from smoke. Aleister Crowley tells a joke which, if it’s understood, they say will make all magic clear as day . . .

There were these two men, sharing a railway carriage. They didn’t know each other. They just happened to be traveling together. One of the men had, resting on his lap, a cardboard box, with holes punched in the top.

After some time spent contemplating what might be inside his travelling companion’s box, the other man at last could not contain his curiosity. He said, “Excuse me, but I couldn’t help noticing your box. Does it by chance contain some variety of animal?”

The other man, though obviously surprised by this impertinent intrusion from a stranger, smiled politely as he answered. He said, “You’re absolutely right. There is indeed a creature kept inside this box. And furthermore, I may reveal, the animal in question is a mongoose.”

The first man, who’d initiated the enquiry, was astonished by this revelation. Spluttering with surprise, he sought some further explanation of this certainly provocative disclosure made by his strange fellow-traveller. “A mongoose? Sir, I must confess I had expected it to be perhaps a cat, or rabbit, not a creature so exotic and outlandish. The animal you mention so excites my curiosity that I must beg you, sir, to tell me more. Where are you bound with such a specimen, if I may be so bold?”

The other man, who sat with the perforated box on his lap, shrugged wearily as he replied. “Well,” he said, “it’s something of a personal matter, as it concerns a family tragedy. However, since I’m confident I may rely on your discretion, I suppose I don’t mind sharing my unfortunate account with you.

“You see,” the man went on, “this sorry tale concerns my elder brother. He’s always been what I suppose you might refer to as the black sheep of the family. He has for many years indulged himself in a predictable and commonplace array of vices, of which the worst is his fondness for strong spirits. His drinking has progressed until he is now in the final melancholy stages of Delirium Tremens. My brother now sees serpents everywhere, which is the reason I am taking him this mongoose, that he may be rid of them.”

“Excuse me,” the other man interjected, looking puzzled, “but, these snakes your brother sees . . . aren’t they imaginary snakes?”

“Indeed,” his follow traveller replied. “But this . . . “ and here he gestured meaningfully to the perforated box set on his lap . . . “is an imaginary mongoose.”(less)

This is amazing. I've read a lot of Alan Moore, but I hadn't gotten to this one yet, and when I finally read it I was taken by surprise. The deconstruction of story and fiction and imagination, the mixing of fantasy and myth and sci-fi -- all of that was as lovely as I would have expected from Moore.

Is this Alan Moore's answer to Wonder Woman? Is it an examination of the Joseph Campbell philosophy of myth as it applies to fictional characters in different media? Perhaps it is both.
With Promethea, Moore does more than give us a strong super heroine (in fact, he gives us more than one); he practically gives instruction on living mythically and using the power of one's imagination to transcend the mundane and to be truly empowered.

Is this a Brit thing?). Even the artwork in the early chapters feels like J.H. Williams-lite: ornate borders aside, I was surprised to find myself thinking his work in the much more "mainstream" Batwoman comics was a lot more radical. By Chapter 3 or so, however, it was like I was reading another book entirely. If things keep moving in the direction they seem to be moving, this is on track to be my favorite Alan Moore joint since From Hell. In short, I'm glad I stuck with it despite those underwhelming opening chapters.

So why do I like it so much? Well, like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, this is chiefly a story about stories: Moore is concerned with the ways narratives reflect and in some ways determine our own material existences. But while the League, at least in the chapters I've read, tends toward a more negative reading--the monsters we call "heroes," the egregious cultural values dressed up in Manichaean tales of derring-do--Promethea is more concerned with the abilities inherent in fiction to alter our reality. This sense of limitless possibility allows for the kind of mind-bending ideas I've been waiting to see in the League, but have found relatively scant evidence of so far. Promethea is the most intriguing application of Moore's metafictional impulse I've read yet: one in which the meta-layer serves not just to be clever (though the bumbling "science-hero" team the Five Swell Guys reads to me like a sly form of penitence for Moore's own time writing superhero comics in the '80s and '90s), but as the linchpin for the narrative itself, the whole reason for this book to exist. I've heard from other reviews that this series gets progressively more avant-garde as it goes on; if the progression in this volume from the first chapter to the last is any indication, I can't wait to see what's next!(less)

Who has Promethea chosen as her next host? Sophie, of course, and in this first book Sophie not only realizes her abilities, but meets her predecessors, the last Prometheas, and learns of the evil mystical forces (of course) who are coming after her.

Promethea combines the grittiness of a futuristic New York with the power of imagination and the romantic mystery that is mythology and folktales. This probably rings a bell, because the inspiration from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series literally jumping off the pages. If you love Sandman like I know you should, this will be an instant favorite. And like Sandman, this isn’t your standard comic book fare. Promethea breathes imagination, living fairytales, at once romantic and dangerous. Few will completely understand the plethora of literary and mythological symbols and references, but that isn’t alienating. It’s a book that is to be experienced and enjoyed than totally understood.

With a story so sprawling and imaginative, the art accomplishes no small feat of matching it. The structure of the frames and the colorful, complicated backgrounds have a life of its own, adding another atmosphere to the book; the way the pages themselves become a work of art is quite brilliant. Open it and you’ll see what I mean.

Alan Moore is one of the most highly lauded comic book writers of all time, and Promethea deserves all the praise coming its way. Why not a perfect score then? As much as I enjoy Promethea herself, Sophie is somewhat lacking in personality. Hopefully, after the grandiose introduction and acclimation to Promethea and her world, we can see and appreciate more of Sophie in the next installment.

Probably one of the only series by Alan Moore that started with a bang but ended with a whimper.
