I finished Watchmen a while ago, wanted to read more things Alan

>>92450160
Neonomicon is a masterpiece.

>>92450160
No. Read Top 10 instead.

Yes I highly recommend it.

>>92450304
>>92450254
Who do I listen to?

>>92450160
Vol 1 and 2 are fun reads, with thousands of easter eggs in every page if you're a fan of classic literature. Black Dossier is okay, but kind of disappointing because it introduces all these interesting plots and other Leagues that never get developed. Century is shit, and the last chapter's just 70 or so pages of Alan Moore telling kids to get off his lawn, and whining about how much better living in Victorian times is compared to 2009. The scene where Harry Potter ejaculates lightning to kill a character is funny though.

>>92450204
Is it weird if I get turned on by this?

Yes, also the rest of the Americas Best Comics line, From Hell, Supreme, Miracle Man and V

>>92450454
Yes.

>>92450204
Yeah, League is where the "Moore loves rape" meme is at its most blatant. 2/3rds of the cast are either raped or in imminent danger of getting raped.

>>92450204
Why?

>>92450204
You got the rest of this scene?

>>92450585
The better scene is when Griffin finally dies.

>>92450571
Why not?

>>92450571
Same reason why Invisible Man's opening scene has him raping Pollyanna.

>>92450571
Griffin beat up Mina. Also Moore wanted to show that both of them were monsters.

>>92450204
Volume 2 is still amazing even though there's this rape and borderline geriatric porn.
After that... ugh. Moore is more interested in making sure every background character is from another novel and evaluating modern fiction

>>92450254
Top 10, top 10.
especially if you've read marvel and dc stuff. Top 10 is great.
Tom Strong is fun as well.

>>92450160
Yes.

>>92450571
Hyde came to like one of the members of the team. Invisible Man beats the hell out of her and betrays humanity to martians (lesser of the two to hyde). So Hyde rapes him to death as repayment as only a monster can.

>>92450413
Don't forget he's killed by Mary Poppins

>>92450866
Jesus christ, I really fell behind on this series.

Just gonna say it.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie is probably the only moore adaptation that is superior to it's source material.

>>92451148
It was so bad it convinced Sean Connery to retire from acting.

>>92451148
It could have been a great series.
I want them to give the series a reboot, and take what works from the series, ignoring what doesn't.

>>92451173
I just watched it there and it is pure "it's not that good but not boring enough to turn off" territory.

>>92450254
Miracleman/Tom Strong is better.

I like the idea of having all these characters throughout fiction crossing over and forming their own team of sorts. And the series did that well enough for the first two trades. But Moore's insistence on re-interpreting characters into edgy rapist/murderers got tiring after a while.

>>92451148
Come on, really? Hyde alone in the comics blows anything in the movie out of the water.

>>92451148
Fuck no. I actually liked the movie until I read the comics and realized it was lazy dogshit in comparison. What's even more frustrating is the first comic is a straight ahead adventure story that would have made a great movie if adapted faithfully. I don't know how they fucked it up.

>>92450571
Moore was angry after being taken to court because Hollywood plagarized part of the LOEG film script so he was super pissed off and edgy when he did volume 2. He destroyed the team so if the movie had a sequel they couldn't take anything from his stories.

>>92450254
I never really liked Top Ten that much. Mixing silver age capeshit tropes with cop show tropes didn't really work for me. At least on the main series. Ironically I really loved the two spinoffs, The Forty-Niners and Smax, because it dropped the whole cop show pretense.

>>92451532
It's also why Campion Bond went from a corrupt, but kind of goofy boss to a cunt. And why his descendant James (who is given enough specific nods that he can only be seen as the Sean Connery Bond) is portrayed as incompetent psychopath rapist.

>>92451595
That or Moore recently saw Goldfinger.

>>92451532
>angry after being taken to court because Hollywood plagarized part of the LOEG film script
Wait? What happened?

It's not bad but it's not comparable to Watchmen. I like Top Ten but it traumatized me when I was young because it had gay characters.

>>92452023
*takes breath*

>Moore writes loeg
>Hollywood producer buys the rights and makes a shitty movie
>a screenwriter sees the movie and alleges it was plagiarized from a script he wrote called "Cast of Characters"
>screenwriter sues film producers, screenwriter and Alan Moore
>Alan Moore gets dragged from the UK to the US to stand trial
>is berated for days by the prosecution and treated like shit
>it turns out the producer DID plagiarize the screenwriters script and took certain elements of it for the movie (Tom Sawyer, The Phantom, etc)
>the producer settles with the screenwriter making Moore look guilty by association
>Moore is livid after the whole ordeal and swears to never work with Hollywood again and also says he wants his name taken off any further adaptations of his work (except that JLA adaptation of For the Man Who Has Everything curiously enough)

That's about it. He also made volume 2 basically unadaptable for movie purposes and killed off the team and disbanded the surviving members.

>>92452097
So did Watchmen.

Speaking of Moore film adaptation, how did From Hell translate, haven't read it but remember enjoying the movie well enough

>>92452404
The movie is basically a dumbed down slasher movie version of the book. Apparently the directors never even read it.

>>92450160
>Is this any good?
Yes, but Kevin O'Neill's art can be off putting.

The Comics Code Authority once refused to give an issue of Green Lantern Corps their stamp of approval because they found his art unacceptable

>>92452404
>>92452446
The movie is also a whodunit which is the exact opposite of the book which makes the killer obvious almost from the beginning and has him as a major character.

The whole thing is really strange since Johnny Depp is such a big Moore fan he showed up unannounced at his house and asked his permission to take the role. You'd think after all that he'd demand the movie be a little faithful.

>>92451273
That's actually a perfect way to describe it

>>92452248
Christ

>>92452248
And this would've been right around the time Moore cut ties with Wildstorm/DC. I'm sure it was a super happy year for Moore

>>92450160
S'pretty good, but Moore's best work is his run on Swamp Thing. You should check that out.

Anyone else fantasize about breaking into Alan Moore's house and forcing him to watch Watchmen?

>>92452739
I wanna force him to watch League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

No one suggesting Promethea?

>>92453259
A lot of people haven't read it sadly but it's probably the best of the ABC books. I'd also suggest Tomorrow Stories.

>>92450413
>, and whining about how much better living in Victorian times is compared to 2009.

I mean that's how it felt reading the Century books the whole time. Although the first one with Nemo's daughter was pretty cool.

>>92452248
>except that JLA adaptation of For the Man Who Has Everything curiously enough
Is this a meme or any source to this?

>>92453434
If you watch the episode it credits him.

Somebody tried to decipher all the references in League. It's insane.
