League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century

[Adam3482009]

As many of you probably know, League Volume 3 will be published by Top Shelf publishing and coming out (in April) and will initially be seperated into 3 80 page books that will make up volume 3. The publisher provides a synopsis for all 3 that can be found at http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog.php?type=13.

For those unfamiliar with the League books I'd highly recommend buying them along with Jess Nevin's annotation books (there are a ton of references Moore makes in each book connecting many works of fiction into 1 universe).


Here's a 5 page preview (from the January edition of Wizard magazine) of what will be coming in the 1st book due out in April.

Enjoy!

Nice, can't wait to read it. Have been waiting for the next installment for awhile. That Black Dossier didn't really fill the void.

Yeah, they changed things up with the Black Dossier. It didn't contain an adventure driven comic aspect to it like the previous titles (more of a wrap around narrative of the "Black Dossier" itself).

However, have you checked out Jess Nevins annotations? It adds a whole new level of understanding while reading through the Dossier (and both previous league volumes). There's an online list of them that you can check out here:

Mr. Nevins has also made each of his annotations available in book format (if you don't feel like staring at a glaring Computer screen) and included a few extras in each (such as interviews, ect.).

I found so many connections (and added story value) while reading through his annoations it was insane. I still can't beleive Moore put this much work behind this.
