JLA torrent is still underway, and CK2 LP will continue (just ask questions or something bros) as I have all the pics for it. Anyway, here goes Alan Moore's pulp-mega-crossover and "last great work" (hopefully it won't be).

Back when WildStorm was still THE publisher for when it came to pushing the envelope of mainstream comics, Jim Lee struck a deal with a certain Alan Moore: Mister Moore would receive his entire own imprint, called America's Best Comics. Moore wasted no time showing that the imprint's name said it all. Of the several titles Moore wrote for the imprint, the first two volumes of the still ongoing League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen are the most fondly remembered, and for good reason. After all, they are among the finest comics ever written.

Every single character in this comic is either a reference to another character (you should spot the first one soon), or a public domain character from the 19th century. The world of the League is essentially one where ALL fiction is real and happened.

So, without further ado, uploading...

Nice comic. But fast-forward to the point where Hyde assrapes that guy to death, that's a high point of modern comic books right there!

Interestingly, real-life Victorian Limehouse only had a couple of hundred Chinese people living there - it was mostly the exaggerations of all the penny dreadfuls, Fu Manchu, etc., which gave it a reputation for being a great depraved, opium-filled Orient slum. (Which is appropriate for LoEG, I guess.) And then it got bombed to shit in WWII, sadly, and now Chinatown's a respectable, restaurant-filled tourist district just off Theatreland and Limehouse is dominated by waterside apartment blocks.

...come to think of it, just writing 'bump' would probably have been easier.

That's interesting grotsnik. Also, anyone know what story the unfinished massive bridge is from?

IRL the Thames tunnel was completed, despite costs, so it could just be a parallel-universe joke? My mistake, that's not the bridge you were talking about.
