Alan Moore's League due in November
Comic writer Alan Moore's next volume in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series will be out this November.
I know what you're thinking. "Isn't that the comic that was made into an awfully craptacular movie with Sean Connery, Shane West and that chick from La Femme Nikita?" (Or, if you saw it with the same wierd audience I saw it with, swap out "awfully craptacular" for "awesomely incredible" and erupt in applause after it ridiculously ends.)
Yeah, but don't click away yet. Hollywood has had a run of bad luck attempting to adapt Moore's works for the big screen, and sometimes, what holds true for books holds true for comics: The comic is better than the movie. (Except for Frank Miller's "300." The movie actually improved on a fairly mediocre comic.)
This one will be worth picking up, and in case you haven't already, the previous two volumes, as well.
