About this Collection

This second volume of Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III's acclaimed series continues the journey of Sophie Bangs as she fully embraces her role as the living embodiment of the mythic Promethea. The collection delves deeper into the nature of imagination, magic, and the power of storytelling, with Williams' lush, experimental artwork pushing the boundaries of comic book page design. Issues #7-12 are collected here, advancing the narrative toward its philosophical and metaphysical climax.

In "Rocks and Hard Places," Sophie’s journey through the Immateria deepens as she encounters Bill, learning about the significance of Pentacles and the mysteries of her own path. Meanwhile, in the material world, a gathering of powerful figures—Sophie’s mother, the mayor, the Painted Doll, Benny Solomon, the Goetia, and Marv of the Five Swell Guys—converges on the hospital where Sophie lies unconscious, setting the stage for a tense confrontation. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated with stunning detail by J. H. Williams III, with coloring by Jeromy Cox and José Villarrubia, and lettering by Todd Klein, this issue features a cover by J. H. Williams III.

Sophie continues her education and her journey through the Immateria. She meets Bill, and learns of his life and of the meaning of Pentacles. In the material world, Sophie's mom, the mayor of New York, the Painted Doll, and Benny Solomon and the Goetia all converge on the hospital where Sophie lies unconscious, as does Marv of the Five Swell Guys. Bill returns Sophie to her body and consciousness just as the Painted Doll and the Goetia begin separate assaults on the hospital.
