That was Promethea for me. I bought the first TPB, but it grabbed me not a whit.
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.

Bob? John? I'm so confused.
Yeah, Bob! You know! Bob! BOB, with the thing and the stuff and the time he did that thing with the stuff! Bob!
Oh, that Bob. Sorry, man, he died in a tragic pudding accident last Tuesday.
Don't forget the fic.
That also helps.
Well, sure. The lure of Bat-smut is strong.

Dude. Robin/Superboy smut? HOTT.
