Editorial Reviews

Review

San Francisco Chronicle, January 18th 2004: " Moore's script always works on multiple levels...O'Neill's art captures the humour, horror and spectacle of one of the best-known extraterrestrial invasions."- Michael Berry. Essex Chronicle, Thursday October 4th 2004, review by Matt Adams: " This is the War of the Worlds as you've never seen it before! A phenomenal fusion of literary giants, mixing legend, myth and pulp fantasy into a triumphant cocktail illustrated with style and aplomb by the great Kevin O'Neill." The Times Supplement December 2004: "Even more decadently filthy, gothic and thrilling than its predecessor...a ripping yarn"; Sunday Mercury (Birmingham) 6 February 2005: " ...even if you've never read H.G Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson or Jules Verne, theres much to be enjoyed."

This review is from: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (v. 2) (Paperback)

More trouble coming the way of the League introduced in volume 1. Partly due to some failures by John Carter and Gullivar of Mars. They just have to shrug their shoulders and hope their counterparts on Earth can handle the invasion coming their way.

These are just flat out brilliant, simple as that. Reading it again, I noticed yet another thing I never saw before, three foxes eating Peter Rabbit!
