I found this book at target and i have to say that at first it overwhelmed me a little bit. After about an hour i couldn't stop reading it. It is very suspenseful. The ending totally blew my mind. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The - Black Dossier (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)
from WildStorm
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
Compared to the first two installments of this series, Black Dossier is an extrodinary letdown to fans everywhere. The "tell rather than show" review is absolutely accurate. This book is dense and sometimes very boring. Dispite all the layers and layers of information and background, Black Dossier... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | V for Vendetta
from Vertigo
Customer Review:
having seen the movie when it first came out, I was curious about the book. I am NOT dissapointed. It is one of the most thought provoking things I have read, like 1984 but with more interesting and strong willed people. What really scares me is how I can see some of the aspects of the book... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1
from America's Best Comics
Price: $10.19
Customer Review:
I'll be honest. I saw the movie before I read the book. But the movie doesn't hold a candle to the book. I did like Wilhelmina Harker's portrayal in the movie, but in all cases, the book was far superior to the movie. I really enjoyed the art and storylines, and am sad there are only two books to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | V for Vendetta New (New Edition TPB)
from Vertigo
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
One of the latest gritty, dark graphic novels to be adapted to film was "V for Vendetta," based on Alan Moore's futuristic comic of the same name. But as usual, the source is the most compelling.
First published in the early 1980s, Moore painted a frightening future where there is only... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | From Hell - New Cover Edition
from Top Shelf Productions
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
From Hell is a literary tour de force, one of many from legendary comics scribe Alan Moore. From Hell tells the (deeply researched) story of Jack the Ripper, but it is so much more than that. Quite simply, it is a story of London--the city is the book's primary focus and it soon becomes a living,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2
from Wildstorm
Price: $10.19
Customer Review:
The commic book part is great, however; the end story is really wordy and kind of boring. It does have some clever points but not enough to keep you interested. I was impressed to see that Speilburg (sp? I'm a bad speller) copied the tripods from this story and used them in "War of the Worlds"... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Vertigo
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
So many people talk about the writing so I think is useless for me to do it (awesome). I have picked up a couple of books of the early 90's, none of them come as nearly as close as this one is well portrait, (I bought Knightfall, Zero Hour, and the return of Superman) one thing is to draw good in... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Alan Moore's Writing For Comics Volume 1
from Avatar Press
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
Worth it. I am a striving comic creator who works and won't have time to read as much as I did this last summer. If you're a striving comic creator this is great book about the medium not because it teaches you how to write, but because it invokes you to create. The things I already knew that Moore... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
