Narrative Concering Books The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1910 (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #3.1)

One of Three. The new volume chronicling the exploits of Wilhelmina Murray and her extraordinary colleagues, Century is an epic spanning almost a hundred years. Divided into three 80-page chapters -- each a self-contained narrative to avoid frustrating cliffhanger delays between episodes -- this monumental tale takes place in three distinct eras, building to an apocalyptic conclusion occurring in our own, current, twenty-first century.

Chapter One is set against the backdrop of London, 1910, twelve years after the failed Martian invasion and nine years since England put a man on the moon. In the bowels of the British Museum, Carnacki the ghost-finder is plagued by visions of a shadowy occult order who are attempting to create something called a Moonchild, while on London's dockside the most notorious serial murderer of the previous century has returned to carry on his grisly trade. Working for Mycroft Holmes' British Intelligence alongside a rejuvenated Allan Quartermain, the reformed thief Anthony Raffles and the eternal warrior Orlando, Miss Murray is drawn into a brutal opera acted out upon the waterfront by players that include the furiously angry Pirate Jenny and the charismatic butcher known as Mac the Knife.

Column Appertaining To Books The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1910 (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #3.1)

Crammed with gratuitous allusions and gratuitous (female, of course) nudity. The larger apocalyptic plot arc seemed interesting, the actual contents of this book not so much.Not a fan of O'Neill's art.And was all that extensive cabaret singing really necessary?

The League is back, newly formed (sort of... if you've read the last three books, particularly The Black Dossier, you know about this version of the League already) and it's ready to defend London. Expect to need to sit down with a wiki after you read this (at least I did) to get all the characters and references. If you're a LoEG fan already, that shouldn't be new! Nemo's daughter, Janni, really makes the story, with her departure from Lincoln Island and transformation working in the Cuttlefish

This fourth installment of the LOEG series is by far the most conceptually half-baked and narratively anticlimactic of the series. The elements are all good: Carnacki the Ghost Finder and A.J. Raffles are new additions to the League, a possible Jack the Ripper (a completely different theory than Moore explored in From Hell) and Oliver Haddo (a 1908 caricature of Aleister Crowley) should be great antagonists, and Mycroft Holmes and Captain Nemos daughter/would-be heir offer opportunities for

With the third volume in this graphic novel series, writer Alan Moore, who also created The Watchmen, jumps his character forward quite a few years. The League, who is still part of the British secret service has changed quite a bit. Mina Murray is still a member, though now she is in charge along with a rejuvenated Allan Quartermain. All of their other partners have left. They have been replaced with another interesting set of literary/historical characters.First their is Carnacki, a

The League has always been Moore's best work in my opinion. "Watchmen" was dull and overrated, "V for Vendetta" is now hopelessly outdated, mired as it was in Thatcher's time, and his "Tom Strong" series hasn't got a pulse, just a bland post modern take on 50s sci fi. But I loved The LXG series. Vol 1 was great and even though Vol 2 got slated I really enjoyed it. I tried with Black Dossier but in the end it just collapsed under the weight of its own references. Moore's prose is very weak. He

Seriously, Moore should just co-write these books with Jess Nevins and include annotated footnotes in the graphic novels themselves...

I am going to say I was disappointed with this one. The third volume in the series, The Black Dossier, went completely off the rails as far as I'm concerned. So when I heard that 1910 was similar to the first two volumes, I was very excited. Unfortunately I can't say I enjoyed it as much.I didn't really find anyone in this incarnation of the league being all that extraordinary. Seriously. Other than Mina who really hasn't shown much growth since the story first started. Orlando is too campy.
