I'm more curious if he knows Jonathan, or John, or John, or John. All of whom I owe e-mail, as it happens.

Not got a lot to say...
I'm going to attempt to hook Jilli. Pete should live in fear.
Already am, Plei. Already am.
You'd think Bats would be a natural for her.
Oh, she's read plenty of Batman, and other comics besides. She's just not hooked like Pimpish Plei.
I think *Dick* would be a natural for her. I mean, she could spend hours picturing his pretty self in eyeliner.
Very disturbed by the "*"'s in that post. Very.
Y'know I grew up reading superhero comics and yet I can't give much of a damn about them now. Except Promethea, but that doesn't really count.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know when you think if only you could enjoy something you would enjoy it very much, and it seems like this is something that could work for you?
That was Promethea for me. I bought the first TPB, but it grabbed me not a whit.

Well, I wouldn't say *plenty*. And it was a while ago. And without the benefit of wacky fandom theories & analysis, which just might make all the difference.
However, I think I need to re-read all of Sandman, Promethea, and Transmetropolitan. And possibly Stray Toasters.

I'd borrow the later volumes if I were you. After starting off disguised as a mystical superheroine comic it turns a corner around issue 8 into full-on mysticism.
The history of the world told through the Major Arcana of the Tarot (in numerical sequence) was quite breathtaking storytelling.
Of course, that still may not be to your taste, but Promethea has always struck me as a comic whose first volume is a far cry from the nature of the series as a whole.
