The twenty-sixth comic: #748 Promethea
Promethea is a comic with two sides. On one hand, it's the story of a superhero who is reincarnated into different bodies by those who create things about her - by making comics, writing books or poetry and similar - and how she makes it through. An interesting premise that plays with art styles to imply different levels of existence.
That premise is combined with a treatise on Kabbalah, one that is sort of tied to the Promethea story, but felt, to me, like it didn't quite as much enhance it, but spend more time interrupting it. It got a bit too disjointed, a bit too much trying to be philosophical, without being entertaining or informative. It just felt like an interruption that prevented reading the good bits.
And that's a shame, because the art and style were really nice, and felt really innovative for it. It's just that it felt too hammered into the dream world, not something that naturally fit into the narrative. It doesn't feel like it has any consequences for the outside story. It's there so it is mentioned, without there being a point to it.
And that just ruins what could be a great reading experience.
