And here we go...
in 2009
School Shooter Antichrist Harry Potter
Say what you will, but I love Harry Potter in this.
It's hilarious.
2010-ish....
Hugo Hercules is the fucking best
What's Q'mar from?
Apparently the West Wing IIRC
2164
2995
And, as they say, so it goes.
Around and around and around.
What began with Allan outside of time ends with them trapped in its wheels.
But, hey, at least they have each other.
THE END.
Here's to the League.
Such as it was and will be.
And that's the end of the line.

THE END.
1898 - 2999
As always I hope someone out there enjoyed this.
I sure did, with all of its ups and downs.
See you around.
Well I guess its better than no ending.
Agreed
Bump
Can I read these if I’m not smart or not well read.
Could have been better, the setting would have lended for all kinds of weird shit but I guess Alan ran out of creative juice.
> AQUAMAN 2 in 3-D THE REVENGE OF QUISP
Ahh, that's nice.
I find it funny that he just happened to finish LOEG off the year the US public domain started up again.
After the martians the league just devolved into ineffectualness, becoming immortal just made them completely useless it seems
Jesus Christ the fucking salt.
Why does he hate James Bond so fucking much?
He said it in his intro to Dark Knight Returns (which was included in the TPB up until 1996):
>The fictional heroes of the past, while still retaining all of their charm and power and magic, have had some of their credibility stripped away forever as a result of the new sophistication in their audience. With the benefit of hindsight and a greater understanding of anthropoid behavior patterns, science fiction author Philip Jose Farmer was able to demonstrate quite credibly that the young Tarzan would almost certainly have indulged in sexual experimentation with chimpanzees and that he would just surely have had none of the aversion to eating human flesh that Edgar Rice Burroughs attributed to him. As our political and social consciousness continues to evolve, Alan Quartermain stands revealed as just another white imperialist out to exploit the natives and we begin to see that the overriding factor in James Bond's psychological makeup is his utter hatred and contempt for women. Whether most of us would prefer to enjoy the above-mentioned gentlemen's adventures without spoiling things by considering the social implications is beside the point. The fact remains that we have changed, along with our society, and that were such characters created today they would be subject to the most extreme suspicion and criticism.
I know all that, it's all kind of the point of the League. It's just Moore seems to have a particular hate boner for all things Bond and for Sean Connery too.
>in James Bond's psychological makeup is his utter hatred and contempt for women
I mean, that's not a wrong reading, but it's not the correct reading either. The same thing with Alan Quartermain. Who despite being written in a genuinely worse way, is shown to be more of a, I guess anti-hero in the comics.
James Bond is complicated because of how pulpy his novels got but his treatment of women being the reason he was portrayed as such a monstrous being is confusing. Yes in the first novel there are misogynistic thoughts but as he gets to know Vesper they go away, at least by the standards of the time and it's a reoccurring theme, even as the novels got pulpier that when he falls for a girl he falls completely and entirely and their deaths, because it is a serial, almost catastrophically destroy him.
Alan's reading of Bond just comes off as lazy. A surface level reading of Fleming's shit use of narrative tropes.
I think this is really the weakest part for me. I mean Mina disappears into an asylum and everything just stops for decades. And then when Orlando finally stops fucking around, then after decades of being inoperable Mina is just better after a few days.
It's all just way, way too convenient for where this volume needs to be set up.
