League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier

[Nick]

I was originally going to rant about horrible this graphic novel was, but at the end I figured
none of you would want to read three paragraphs of what exactly is wrong with this new
installment of the LXG series. I've decided to just sum it all up.


1. A clusterfuck of characters from the early 1900's comics, novels, and television trying to
piece together a decent story.

2. Over 50% of the novel is boring back story to characters from novels who are equally boring.
Normally this would be fine, but it's presented through case files, and not actually comic pages.

3. The main characters have somehow become ugly shells of their former selves, without any
explanation.

4. This graphic novel just seems like an excuse for Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill to include as
many sex scenes as they possibly could, honestly every two pages includes tits and ass.

5. The conclusion of the story is presented in 3D, and ends in a speech about the human
imagination. One of the most unpleasant endings to a story I have ever had the misfortune
to read. It not only rapes your brain, but also makes your eyes bleed.


In conclusion, I hate this book, and do not look forward to third volume
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which is coming out later this year.
