It was entertaining in its own way, but not really my taste. (view spoiler)[If you think you would enjoy seeing the wrinkled ass of Allan Quartermain while he humps Mina Murry, then this is the book for you. As an added bonus, you will also get to witness Mr. Hyde butt-rape the Invisible Man to death. Yes. You read that right. Also, in case you are a huge fan of animal/human hybrid-making mad scientists, Dr. Moreau makes a cameo appearance.The actual story going on in the background involves an
I don't understand the point of this one, either, though it's vaguely more interesting than the first volume.
Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill continue to pay tribute to Victorian adventure classics!THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, VOL 2, like its stellar predecessor, is a graphic novel and is most assuredly not a comic book intended for children. Rather it is solid proof that mainstream comic books can be combined with exciting, imaginative adventure and story-telling, illustrated with serious, skilled artwork that merits close examination in each and every panel aimed at serious adult readers with
A mixed bag. The graphic novel part of this was much superior to that in Volume 1. It started on Mars, featuring a John Carter stand in and the Tharks fighting with some mollusk type beings who then fled in rocket ships to earth, and this turned out to be the War of the Worlds Invasion. The opening was interesting and sparked my imagination but it was irritating that much of the early dialogue was rendered in "Martian," meaning symbols that couldn't be read. Once the invasion of earth began,
In my opinion, this is a hell of a good read.The author took famous characters from Victorian popular literature and put them together into a 'special action group' that works for MI5 in the last decade of 19th Century England. MI5 is lead by Mycroft Holmes by the way.The League consists of Mina Murray, Alan Quartermain, Henry Jekyll and his alter-ego, Captain Nemo and Hawley Griffin, otherwise known as the Invisible Man.And the situation they have to deal with is the invasion of Earth by Mars.
Wow. Uhm. Yeah, so what to say here. This is one of those things that I sort of loved but will never, ever recommend to anyone. Ever. Moreso even than Game of Thrones. I actually really liked it, but... wow. It had these great bits in it where Hyde only listens to Mina, and they have this lovely moment, and I was like AWWWW. And even the part where Griffin attacks Mina was so heartbreaking and awful but wonderful because you knew Hyde was going to come back and save her. But then when Hyde did
