       The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century

       Has anyone been following the latest League arc? It has them
       basically trying to prevent the birth of the Anti-Christ, and
       begins in 1910, then we find them in 1969, and ends in 2009. In
       1969 (can't remember if I already posted about this or not) a
       character named Tom, whose second name is a Marvel and whose
       surname is a Conundrum (Tom Marvolo Riddle, anyone?) meets Mina
       Murray, [spoiler] sexually assults her as she battles on the
       astral plain, and is then possessed by the arc's Big Bad, who
       then has him go to King's Cross and dissappear at Platform 9 and
       3/4s (off to Hogwarts, obviously). Early word on the
       just-released 2009 has it that Harry is the same Antichrist the
       League have been trying to ward off, appearing deranged and
       psychotic, the student of Riddle whom is still possessed. At one
       point he shoots lightning at someone from his peen... [/spoiler]
       Not sure how I feel about all this. I'm interested to read this,
       but the series has defo gone downhill over this latest
       storyline, and even though the earlier stories could be violent
       or sexually explicit, this seems different, it's
       more...unpleasant. Not too mention the probability of a beloved
       childhood character being completely debased in the latest
       comic, sigh. I feel Moore is going a bit like Mark Millar, shock
       over story. If this thread gets enough interest, I'll keep you
       guys posted once I get the 2009 issue.

       Haven't been keeping track of it since I thought LEG 1910 was
       terrible but it feels like Moore's dependance on shock value has
       grown exponentially since Lost Girls.
