Chapter Two takes place in the psychedelic daze of Swinging London during 1969, a place where Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice, and where different underworlds are starting to overlap dangerously to an accompaniment of sit-ins and sitars. The vicious gangster bosses of London's East End find themselves brought into contact with a counter-culture underground of mystical and medicated flower-children, or amoral pop-stars on the edge of psychological disintegration and a developing taste for Satanism. Alerted to a threat concerning the same magic order that she and her colleagues were investigating during 1910, a thoroughly modern Mina Murray and her dwindling league of comrades attempt to navigate the perilous rapids of London's hippy and criminal subculture, as well as the twilight world of its occultists. Starting to buckle from the pressures of the twentieth century and the weight of their own endless lives, Mina and her companions must nevertheless prevent the making of a Moonchild that might well turn out to be the antichrist!

The LoEG has got to be the most ineffectual super team in the history of comics. If they accomplish anything it is by accident, and they spend most of their time as bystanders or as victims. The whole thing is probably Moore's bitter commentary on the state of the industry. I am not saying it is ...

2.0 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 3: Century #1 1910
I am honestly starting to think that Alan Moore is slipping. Either that, or he is just too much into trying to be cool and smart with literary allusions and not paying enough attention to having a good storyline. I have learned this book is first in a series, so I honestly hope things will get bett...

A rather horrific continuation of LoEG loosely inspired by Brecht's Threepenny Opera. Captain Nemo's daughter receives some brutal mistreatment at the hands of London ruffians and exacts even more brutal indiscriminate revenge, and all the while the League runs around generally wasting their time.
