I knew one, but when my computer crashed I lost the link. I'll try and dig it up.

There is going to be another mini-series later this year.

Tripwire for June/July will have a cover feature about it.

I didn't buy the book but I did flip thru it. It looked good.
It was about various Victorian Characters, like Alan Quartermain, Capt. Nemo, the Invisable Man, and Mina Murray of Bram Stoker's Dracula, who joins forces to serve Queen Victoria. It was well written, by Alan Moore (AKA God), althought the artwork left much to be desired.

BTW-- there is a planned League Movie in the works, with Sean Connory playing Alan Quartermain.

See, I thought the artwork was fantastic. Amazing detail. Too each his own I guess. Dr. Jekell is a member of the league too, and the villians are Fu Manchu, and a surprise guest that I probably shouldn't reveal. (Think Sherlock Holmes) This is a great book, and I look forward to the next series. I have high hopes for the upcoming movie starring Sean Connery as Quatermain!

I think that Moore has two follow-ups in mind. One, the one coming out [maybe] this year, would have the War of the Worlds Martians and maybe the Selenites/Moon Men from H.G. Wells' First Men on the Moon. Dr. Cavor made a cameo in the first one, remember?

The third one would pick up where that serial story Allen Quartermain and the Sundered Veil left off and would follow Allan and Mina travelling to America to interact with Randolph Carter and other H.P. Lovecraft creations.
