The League of Extrodinary Gentlemen: Century 1969

I was a little better able to follow this one, as opposed to 1910, as I started recognising more of the references again.  However, my suspension of disbelief took a hit with it as I felt it was over the top.  I know the 60s were a free love decade but I don't think they were that free loving.

I'm disappointed that Mina essentially ditched Orlando and Alan.  They're not really going to get anywhere without her.  She may be stuck in an insane asylum but I don't think she'd be there for 5 years unless she had an exceedingly bad trip.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1910

When I read The Black Dossier I complained that there were (essentially) too many words and not enough action. 1910 corrects that. It even elaborates on some of what was only hinted at in The Black Dossier and was a much more enjoyable read. I'm still running into the problem that I may have not quite read enough Victorian literature to fully appreciate Moore's narrative but I didn't feel as far out of the loop with this one. I think there was simply more narrative context for me to be able to connect the dots.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier

The further Alan Moore gets from the first volume of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen the less I enjoy them.

The Black Dossier is an interesting idea. Moore has written a graphic novel that reads like a government document with a bit of action in the middle. I've read a lot of government documents. They're not exactly fascinating reading. I felt that a bit too much time had passed between Volume 2 of this title and this volume. Obviously, the team had had a variety of adventures (alluded to by documents in the Dossier) but I think I would have much preferred reading the adventure than reading about it. There was just something missing from this one. It's only getting a 2 from me.
