Sophie Bangs was a just an ordinary college student in a weirdly futuristic New York when a simple assignment changed her life forever. While researching Promethea, a mythical warrior woman, Sophie receives a cryptic warning to cease her investigations. Ignoring the cautionary notice, she continues her studies and is almost killed by a shadowy creature when she learns the secret of Promethea. Surviving the encounter, Sophie soon finds herself transformed into Promethea, the living embodiment of the imagination. Her trials have only begun, as she must master the secrets of her predecessors before she is destroyed by Promethea's ancient enemy.

Again, I'm thankful that my library system has these books, mostly so I can re-read them and say, yeah, those were great for the time, but now I'm old and want something else...such as Alan Moore's Promethea, which I've read before and now have to re-read from the library.

"Powerful." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Awash in references to mythology, literature, religion, and arcania, Moore's intricately crafted philosophical work is a dazzling smorgasbord depicted through equally intricate and varied color artwork." --Library Journal
"Armed with an acute knowledge of how comics worked and driven by an affection for comicdom's past, a desire to take it forward, and a dislike of most work being done at the time, Moore raised the bar for mainstream narrative comic storytelling to previously unscaled heights." --A.V. Club
