Customer review of: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier Customer Rating: Summary: First two were great, this one sucked Comment: I have read the first two "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" a few times and love them. This one I hated. It was like Alan Moore went to Kevin O'Neill and said, "I have about 15 different stories that have no real connection but I want to put them in a book. While mildly amusing, none of them really have a plot. And I have an overarching story that has a plot, but no climax and no ending." At this point O'Neill responds, "That is great Alan! I have been wanting to try a bunch of different drawing styles on one book for a while. Hopefully I can show off my talent with the material you are describing! Who cares if any type of interesting story comes of it. People will buy it because the first two books were so good." The art was good, there were snippets of brilliance in Moore's use of various historical and mythical figures and stories. But the plot really did not go anywhere, some of the stories were just boring and really did not connect very well, and overall I found myself loathing the time I had to spend to finish this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Good story, with reservations Comment: I enjoyed the latest edition of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The overall story held my attention and there were lots of interesting twists to the plot. The Fanny Hill porno insert added nothing to the story and should have been left out. The final chapter is in 3D, very innovative. Customer Rating: Summary: Ehh Comment: I felt the graphic novel was a tad boring, not only in story but visually. Customer Rating: Summary: Is Billy Bunter really Big Brother Comment: Even if you haven't read the 101 novels, plays and pulp magazines referenced in this thrilling roller coaster action adventure, you'll still love it. It's high speed chase through 1950's England climaxing at the 3D top of the world, punctuated by extracts from the fabled Black Dossier - The book about all the previous Leagues of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Is that James Bond? Is that Emma Peel? Has Billy Bunter grown up and become George Orwells Big Brother? You Decide. Customer Rating: Summary: LXG: black dossier Comment: The random extracts from "The Black dossier" and 3D pages make this well worth reading. However the central plot is a little weak, and is just an excuse to fit in many pop-culture references. I was hoping for more swashbuckling adventures in the style of the other LXG graphic novels. That said Alan Moore is an amazing writer and i don't know of any other writer who could handle the different styles of prose used in this collection.
Editorial Reviews: England in the mid 1950s is not the same as it was. The powers that be have instituted...some changes. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have been disbanded and disavowed, and the country is under the control of an iron-fisted regime. Now, after many years, the still youthful Mina Murray and a rejuvenated Allan Quatermain return and are in search of some answers. Answers that can only be found in a book buried deep in the vaults of their old headquarters, a book that holds the key to the hidden history of the League throughout the ages: The Black Dossier. As Allan and Mina delve into the details of their precursors, some dating back centuries, they must elude their dangerous pursuers who are Hell-bent on retrieving the lost manuscript... and ending the League once and for all.
