Memorable expansion on the first volume though undone by what seems an overly bombastic and idiosyncratic meta-statement on the usual content and grid like formation found in the DC/Marvel 'generic' comic book format.

There's a lot going on here. I'm not sure I got it all. Still excellent.

El segundo volumen me ha interesado mucho más, aúnque tiene el capítulo final más anticlimático de la historia.
A lo mejor mi problema es que no creo en la magia.

After the first one, this one seemed a bit of a letdown. I still liked it. The art on this series is simply gorgeous overall (though given the art in the rest of the volume, I really expected those Tarot cards to be a lot more ornate). The main problem for me is that the reading experience was simply exhausting. By the time I got to the last part with the story of the universe and the tarot, I just wanted it to end. Moore just packed way too much stuff; it was a bit overloaded. And I did find the comic issue presented as a widescreen more of an annoyance. It did not add anything visually, and it only made it more difficult for me to hold the book.
Having said that, the exploration of imagination, myth, story, and life is still very good. There are a lot of things to appreciate in this volume, and it may merit rereading. I am enjoying the series overall, but I do hope Moore tightens things a bit more in the forthcoming volumes. I think we have enough background, time to get back to the main story and the action.

Eh. Not my cup of tea. Larry Gonick fans may see this as the "Cartoon Guide to Magick".

Good fun, but the sex scene makes me realize how prudish I am

This wasn't quite as entertaining as the first collection, at least for me. The first half was good, but the second half, which got very woo-woo theoretical with the magick and the tarot got a little boring. I'm hoping the third collection will be a little bit more engaging.

Este tomo es mucho más dinámico y interesante que el primero. Aunque siguen habiendo cosas que me sacan de la historia. Me gustan mucho las antiguas Prometheas y espero que salgan las que todavía no han salido.
Muy fan por cierto de las viñetas del Gorila llorón XD
