Title: VERY VERY Cool Idea But....
Review: League is well illustrated, and the extra advertisements and the masthead with the old time style of writing definitely adds to the authentic feel it's trying to recreate. Narrative passages at the end of each issue (Watchmen style) help add another dimension to the story.The idea of making a superhero team with the heroes from Victorian literature is very fresh. The plot twists a bit, but in the end, it's just that: a superhero story. But this is what Alan Moore is doing. He deconstructed superheroes in his seminal magnum opus, "Watchmen," and now he's recreating them again with the entire line of "America's Best Comics." On one hand, League is something truly unique and fresh, but on the other hand, it's still a comic that could have been published by Marvel.
