"Promethea" (Book 3)

Promethea: Book 3 (Alan Moore, J.H. Williams III & Mick Gray)

It's been a while since books one and two (the perils of poaching books off your wife's shelf). Luckily I didn't feel too lost picking up here, although it took me a minute to remember what happened at the end of Book 2 - someone was killed, if that's the right word, and this book picks up with Promethea going after her. To do this she journies into the Sephirot (the Tree of Life, not the bad guy from Final Fantasy 7), which makes up basically all of this book.
And how is it? Pretty good. The writing's what you would expect from Alan Moore, and while apparently some reviewers didn't enjoy the mysticism, I'm not sure why you'd still be reading this series if that was a turn off. (I mean, this is a series where our heroine gets her powers by writing poems about imagination.) The art is also quite nice, although there are a few hiccups (one section done entirely in black and red that I think is supposted to be scary comes off more as eye-punching). I don't really have anything negative to say about this book; if you've already started reading the series, there's no reason not to get it, but I guess you don't really need me to tell you that.
