The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century 1910

Hey all, Stoker again. So last week the new “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” story came out; I am glad to say that it is a step up from the last installment, “The Black Dossier.” Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed following the exploits of Mina and Alan as they searched for information on previous incarnations/variations of the League from around the world but, when all was said and done, the Black Dossier left me a bit on the cold side. Unlike the other League stories I have never had the urge to revisit it, something which I am prone to do with comic books I really like.

Hey Chris,
I hope you’re doing well. That whole “writing articles” thing seems to be working out. Anyway, I just came across an article you have up on ew.com entitled Superheroes: How They Ruined Summer Movies and I just thought I’d take a moment to share with you a different…perspective.
First off, I’d like to say that I agree with you…Watchmen was one of the best books you’ve ever read.
That’s pretty much where our agreement ends.
Watchmen!

Are you anxiously awaiting next year’s biggest nerd movie?
You’re not!
What the hell?
OK, yes, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was, possibly, the second worst comic book movie of all time…I’m looking at you and your bat nipples, Clooney!
But From Hell was solid, and V for Vendetta flat out rocked! So I think we can all be at least guardedly optimistic about the next film installment from Alan Moore’s seriously deranged genius.
The costumes, while not entirely faithful, seem to be a good first step, at any rate.
