Puzzling

Not at all sure what to make of the latest issue of Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 2009. I read it, as usual, ultra-fast, but kept wondering if I might be missing the point. Individual panels and brief episodes proved gripping, but what they were meant to add up to was a bit of a puzzle. But having said that, I know I'm going to find myself reading all the Century issues soon in order to try and make them fit together.

After all, halfway through From Hell I didn't think Moore was going to make it work, and look how that one turned out. Which reminds me: I must re-read the best version ever of the Ripper saga with Eddie Campbell's Companion at hand.
