Promethea

B for Vendetta.

But Moore's work on ABC Comics, like with Tom Strong, Promethea.

Yes, those are my favorites of his.

Promethea.

So good.

Just so good.

The priestess also connects to Keter, I want to say.

You'll actually see that map in our copy of Alan Moore's Promethea, so if you are curious about this, you'll see him start to draw those connections, and he'll make this connection explicit, though we won't necessarily read that section of Promethea.

If you are curious, that's a good place to start if you are interested in what's going on there.

But Levi... does this work of mapping the tarot onto the Sapphira.

And yeah.

One of my favorite, one of my favorite comic books of all time is by Alan Moore, the comic Promethea, and it's been out for like 20 plus years.

So I don't feel like I'm spoiling anything, but it kind of, the comic ends with the end of the world.

And then it picks up like the next day.

You know, I was kind of joking about it before, but like this really does.

This is starting to sound like a sexy version of Promethea by Alan Moore.

This is like this is like actually crazy.

Yeah.

Moore is critiquing fascism in Watchmen, though a lot of fascists also really like Watchmen because one of his central characters, Rorschach... is extremely compelling in much the same way that Lucifer and Milton is extremely compelling and ends up being confused for the author's perspective.

We're going to be looking at Promethea over here on the right.

which is very much Alan Moore's treatise on magic, and probably it's a much more recent development of Alan Moore's and therefore more reflective of where he ultimately went with his ideas.

It's also sort of the most obvious connection to this class, although honestly any of these could probably be incorporated in the class, and I've done notes lectures on basically all of them.

Here is Moore essentially doing the same thing in some respect.

Once again, using Christian imagery in order to fuel his own artistic endeavors.

and also reinterpreting it dramatically according to his own spiritual purposes, as we will see with Promethea.

So yeah.
