Promethea #2
This second volume of the French-language edition of Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III's Promethea continues the metaphysical journey of Sophie Bangs as she explores the power and history of the mythical Promethea. Collecting issues from the original series, the story deepens into the nature of imagination, magic, and the boundaries of reality.
In "No Man's Land," Sophie faces a deadly threat when Benny Solomon unleashes the Goetia upon her—only to summon not just herself as Promethea, but also Promethea [Grace], Promethea [Margaret], Promethea [Bill], and Promethea [Barbara] in a desperate stand. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated with breathtaking detail by J. H. Williams III, with inks by Mick Gray and colors by Jeromy Cox, this 2001 issue delivers a surreal, high-stakes confrontation where myth and madness collide. The cover, penciled by Williams III and inked by Gray, captures the moment’s intensity in a striking, dreamlike composition.
In "No Man's Land," Sophie uncovers the forgotten legends of Promethea—Margaret—during World War I, drawn into a story that blurs myth and memory. Visiting Barbara in the hospital, she begins to grasp the deeper meaning of the cup, guided by Promethea’s presence within the Immateria.
In "Les 5 formidables en plein affrontement !", Sophie discovers the art of swordplay during a journey to Hy Brasil, where she joins forces with Promethea—known as Grace—in a daring mission to confront the enigmatic Marto Neptura. Meanwhile, Benny Solomon makes his way to New York, carrying the weight of the Goetia’s secrets.
In "Passages difficiles," Sophie begins to grasp the deeper mysteries of the pentacle as Promethea [Bill] guides her through the peril of entanglement with the physical world. As Mayor Baskerville and Benny Solomon reach the hospital, the Painted Doll unleashes a Teddy Bomb into the crowd, sending shockwaves through the scene.
In "Des poupées et des hommes," Jo finds herself caught in a storm of myth and magic when Benny Solomon unleashes the Goetia upon Sophie. With the weight of ancient power pressing in, Sophie calls upon the collective presence of Promethea—Grace, Margaret, Bill, and Barbara—uniting their forces to stand against the onslaught. As the Goetia flee into the shadowed halls of Mayor Baskerville, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.
