I'm definitely going to be tentative after the way that the first one turned out. I thought it would be cool was severely disappointed by the quality of the film.
Still, it's cool source material, so I'm down to check this out if the stuff that I see further down the road looks promising.
It looked good to me. I'm curious as to who the two guys on the last page are, and who the "he/she" is. It would be nice to see Nemo back again, though, or his daughter.

Nice, looks cool so far. Hopefully it will make up for the somewhat disappointing Black Dossier.

Looks interesting. But then I lovedThe Black Dossier.
Something that features a Tijuana bible written in Newspeak and a Jeeves/Cthulhu mashup is genius in my book.
It certainly had moments of genius, but as a whole I found it a bit of a chore. I think each section individually is amazing, but taken all together it was a slog to get through. I guess I would have preferred there to be more story and less "reference material", for lack of a better term.

That is an excellent way of putting it. I felt the same way about The Black Dossier.
This new sequence looks promising, and the inclusion of A.J. Raffles (presumably) is particularly awesome. I read Raffles before I picked up Holmes. In fact, I think Raffles might have been the first character out of Victorian literature that I read, followed shortly thereafter by Dracula and then Holmes. In any case, I remember reading Raffles stories as an elementary school student, which awed my language arts teacher at the time.
I keep wanting to like LXG ... and failing. I know people complain about the movie, but the comic was really not much better; some great ideas, but dragged down with a lot of rather pointless gratuitous violence and childish sexual situations. The core concept is marvelous, but that is about as far as it went.

Well, I received it in the mail today. It was ok, but definitely felt like a setup for another volume rather than a story in its own right. More like the first chapter than an entire story.
And by the way, the he/she refers to Orlando.
