As some of you might have noticed, the movie adaption of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol I, stunk. Really. (the comic itself was OK, but not great)
However, timed with Spielberg's bombastic War of the Worlds, I really must recommend the comic
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol II
available from DC.
This is simply the best adaption of Well's War of the Worlds I have ever seen. The characters now has real depth and the plot twists and turns in a reality almost-but-not-identical-to-what-you-imagined.
Even the previously kind of annoying Jekyll/Hyde now is believable and nasty bordering on scary. The graphics are suitable dark, and there are dialogue you can read over and over and over.
And it has an ending that once and for all proves mankinds supremacy, in the most evil way ever imagined.
Read it.
