A review by sayakel
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 by Alan Moore

3.0

I had heard a lot of rave reviews about this book, because of which I decided to pick it up. While to a reader who is familiar with all the classic characters mentioned above, such as 2000 leagues under the sea, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Invisible Man, Dr Jekyll & Hyde, among the plethora of classical literature or literature set in Victorian Era that have cross-overed, it can be quite a treat, I imagine. I personally had to look up many characters because I haven't read much. There are however some plotholes. The Invisible Man's death's explanation for example, I wasn't very convinced. So there were a few other inconsistencies like that and somehow Dr Jekyll & Hyde, seems like a cheap version of Hulk, so that's a little, meh. The art work suitable to the steampunk style of story it takes, however, I am personally not a huge fan. I will be reading the sequel though.
