RSS Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 In this special edition of Is It Wednesday Yet?, only one comic book is reviewed, and it's a big one! Preston sinks his teeth into The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1910, and comes up with a bitter taste in his mouth. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/c/iiwy/iiwy-090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Though it's sad to hear that Moore's writing wasn't successful, you did an excellent job explaining why it let you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Good job, Preston. You've mentioned this about Moore's work as of late lot, and it's good to see it so well-written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Good job, Preston. You've mentioned this about Moore's work as of late lot, and it's good to see it so well-written. I think my rage lately has been more directed at Frank Miller's slow spiral into hack-dom, than Moore's but Moore is a fine example, too.

Dread Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 It's funny but I never got into LOEG originally for the exact same reason Preston didn't like this book. I didn't give a shit about the characters. They were hardly distinguishable. I understand how important the work is but Moore has always been hit or miss with me. Great review, P-Nel.

Koete Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Outside of the fan wank of famous literary characters getting together, I didn't really see much to LOEG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I liked the original book, sort of. It was a fun period piece with a lot of imagination and interliterary references. This thing wasn't my deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Wait, since when was Mina a vampire? I thought LOEG was supposed to take place after the events of Dracula, after she’s been freed from the effect of Dracula’s bites. Wasn’t her being a vampire just added for the movie?

Molly Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yeah, yeah, my bad. She's not a vampire in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
