Eat Your Hearts Out, LXG!

[Umbran]

Hm. The League of Extraordinary Gentleman has some competition!

From Sci Fi Wire:

Steampunk JLA Debuts

Adisakdi Tantimedh, writer of DC Comics' Justice League: Age of Wonder miniseries, told SCI FI Wire that H.G. Wells inspired his steampunk alternative superhero saga. Age of Wonder, part of DC's Elseworlds series of alternate histories, places Superman and the Justice League in 19th-century America and looks at their influence on the Industrial Revolution, among other things.

In the comic, Clark Kent, the Green Lantern, the Flash and Starman create the League of Science, witnesses to and catalysts of the dawn of a new age of science. But when industrialist Lex Luthor turns against them, the League must battle against the encroaching forces of chaos.

And issue #1 was damn good I must say. Best elseworlds I've read in quite some time.

Forgive my lack of comic book culture lately, but is LXG part of the main DC Comic Universe?

 

[Chun-tzu]

LXG is part of Alan Moore's line of comics, ABC comics, which is part of Wildstorm, which is in turn part of DC Comics. But no, it's not set in the DC Universe.
