I agree. This does look more serious and more promising than Black Dossier, which was really just Moore having a bit of fun and indulging his saucy side. Some of it worked for me, mind you; I absolutely loved the Wodehouse parody "What Ho, Gods of the Abyss!" and the Ingsoc Tijuana Bible. But the Fanny Hill sequel was dull, the Shakespeare pastiche juvenile and the Kerouac pastiche unreadable (which I admit may have been Moore's intention). Above all, there was far too little actual comic and the main plot, such as it was, did nothing to advance the overall League saga.

Again, though, this preview appeals to me.
