She DOES have a sigular personality- the epitome of the British unflappable calm. Nor terribly good at hand to hand combat. Isn't exactly a tactical nor strategic genius. Just one question, and no hate intended I rather LIKED Mina, but ummm what exactly is her qualification? Er besides being bitten by Dracula? She has no powers I can see. The various interpersonal conflicts between team memebers is excellent. The cast of characters from Mycroft Holmes to the opium-addicted Quartermain are inspired! I enjoyed it tremendously. In the first story we see the League put together and their very first mission, and one of the best ones IMHO, against a mysterious M who seeks to destroy the Empire.
But it's the cool story that makes this a great read. The art style actually grew on me through the story and certain large panels did have a certain attraction, especially the complex panels.
What an excellent series! The combination of world-building (steampunk Victorian England) with an off-beat cast of characters (The League and their "associates") ,interesting villains and a solid plot butressed by excellent prose make for a superb comic. It collects Volume I and II of the League along with two short stories. It was with great pleasure that I ran across this omnibus edition. Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde, and Hawley Griffin, the Invisible Man discover, British Intelligence has plans for them that go far beyond mere spying.I had previously comes across this series in a one-shot comic. But as Allan Quatermain, Mina Murray, Captain Nemo, Dr. The enigmatic Campion Bond of British Intelligence has begun a recruiting mission, collecting a menagerie of individuals who can be of value to his superiors due to.activities that have forced them beyond the pale. Īt last, Volumes 1 and 2 of Alan Moore's LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN are collected in a single, hardcover edition! As the twentieth century approaches, there is a need for a new kind of champion - adventurers not bound by the chaste order that characterizes the stagnant Victorian Era.
