Title: "I'm waiting to be impreshed..."
Review: Alan Moore is perhaps the finest author of graphic literature today - even all time. At his best (The Watchmen, Miracleman) he pushes the limits of the genre philosphically as well as artistically - questioning the very foundations of comics and superheroes. This may not be Alan Moore's best work, but it certainly is entertaining.Basically, this is The X-Men set in Victorian England and populated with characters from Victorian literature. In actuality, this is what comics were made for - creating an alternate universe where the Invisible Man and Mr. Hyde get together to do some damage. It is pretty-much a straightforward adventure story, told with Alan Moore's cynicism and wit. The artwork is much more mainstream than I am used to in the typical Moore story, but don't worry - there's plenty of blood and guts.I have not yet seen the movie, but I'm pretty sure the book will be better.
