I tried reading From Hell and it ended up bothering the hell out of me + felt like a slower-paced version of A Treasury of Victorian Murder Compendium, and I'm not even a big fan of that work, either. Although I am a HUGE The Watchmen fan, I was a little distressed to pick this up, worrying that t...
I admit I saw the movie first. With that out of the way, I am going to try hard not to compare the two in my review, even though I did when I was reading. I will just add that I have no quarrels with the casting decisions all around (not including the addition of Dorian Gray and Tom Sawyer). I've be...
Hmm.. what do I say really? I am a fan of Kevin O'Neill's artwork and I hadn't heard of him before this, so that's something gained. Otherwise I'm just not a fan of this series. I definitely support the theory behind it, and I like similar works (Hellboy/B.P.R.D., The Chronicles of the Imaginarium G...
This book had a very rough start with me and there were a few times that I could've set it down completely, but overall it got better. I don't know if its Moore or what, but the blatant sexism/misogyny really bothers me. It affected my enjoyment with Watchmen and it was just as brutal here. Call m...

No matter how many clever Victorian allusions, witty visual puns, complex internal and external parallels, and otherwise ingenious plot structures you may have, it will never compensate for the lack of substance in and depravity of your plot. :(
The whole 1898 feel, look, and presentation of everything kind of hindered my experience with this. I'm not big on "classical" literature, dated material, or historically accurate tales or stories. The writing was superb but I just felt kind of lost half of the time as well and that's due to my lack...
I picked this up from the Covina Library's shelves on a whim, and wasn't disappointed. It's Moore's usual take on our heroes (and Brad's review anent that here explores that aspect cogently), as well as being entertaining.Unfortunately, the library doesn't have any of the subsequent volumes so it ma...
