L.o.E.G. 2.6

[DavidXBrunt]

I have in my hands a piece of paper. Well, actually several pieces of paper with drawings on them. And some words. All stapled together.

So, if you want to own some paper with drawings on, and words, all stapled together then why not go to your local thrill merchant and say "Please can I have a copy of The League of Extraordinary Gentleme : volume 2 issue 6. Thank you very much".

Then you'll have to give the nice man/woman/monkey-in-a-hat some money and they'll give you some paper with drawings words and staples.

Go on, you know you want to.

So we can expect the collection when?

Ah, good call David, was expecting it sometime in 2006.

Off to the comic shop for me tonight!

[Oddboy]

Aha! I knew that there'd be something to spend my birthday money on!

[Art]

Oh yes, now that?s what I'm talking about. That?s how you write comics...

Who would have thought that H-142 would turn out to be Moby Dick, modified by Dr Moreau so that he can walk like a man and kitted out with a rather charming top hat and cane?

That really wasn't a very big spoiler space, was it, Art?

What's this LOEG business? I know there's a film, but what's the deal with this paper with drawings on it?

[Pete Wells]

Amazon say a hard cover LOEG 2 will be released on December 19th.

[RPHawtin]

Does anyone know a good place to get the hardcover version of Volume 1? Amazon are sold out

[Noisybast]

Oh riiiight...

Tor: The film was based on Alan Moore's (Ex-2000AD writer) rather marvellous comics.  The film is meant to be rubbish apparently.  The comics aren't.

Guess i'm the first to comment on it then?

Crashing disapointement. It was over and done with so fast that i had to double-check i hadn't missed any pages. I was expecting a more "Moore" way of dealing with the invaders rather than it just being a spin on the book.
Hyde gets a good send-off but would the Martians have allowed him to get so far?
The whole "they think we've artillary" angle was a bit of a naff way of delaying them wasn't it?
And i thought the script for Nemo leaving seemed a bit stilted. Usually there's a stand out moment per issue where you go "bloody hell, that Alan Moore's a genius" but not here.
All-in-all a real anti-climax after the brilliance of the previous five issues.

That's a bit harsh Mangamax, it was still pretty good...

...okay there's some truth that #6 wasn't the best episode of the series, and yeah the Hybrid virus was a bit of a let down.
The 'stand out' moment was Hyde's final battle - that was supurb!
