League of Extraordinary Gentlemen volume 3

[CharlieM]

I've had a tough time collecting info on the upcoming LXG volume 3, so I thought it would be good to start a thread where people could post or link any updates or rumors they've found.

So far, all I've read is that it's due out sometime this year, and it may be initially released as a graphic novel, rather than in issues. I'll post anything new I find.

Here's something I found posted in another forum:

"League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
DC Comics has announced that the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will return in 2005!
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Dark Dossier is a hardcover graphic novel from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neil due in late 2005. The story is set primarily in the 1950s when the League and the British government no longer see eye to eye. Surviving League members infiltrate MI:5 to steal a closely guarded book, the Dark Dossier compiled by MI:5 over hundreds of years, detailing the League, who the members are, what they do, what they've done, everything about them. As the story unfolds in 1950's London, the main characters - whose identities are a closely guarded mystery - peruse the Dark Dossier while eluding the agents of MI:5. The story takes place in the 1950s, the teens (1911 - 1919), in the 1800s, 1600s, and possibly one story is set in 2000 BC."

UPDATE: If anyone actually cares, newer info suggests a 2006 release.

Awesome news, Charlie, I look forward to that release.

Alan Moore, co-creator of the "V For Vendetta" comic, has publicly disassociated himself from the upcoming Warner Brothers movie project based on the comic book and written and produced by the Wachowski Brothers. And as a result, he has cut his remaining ties with DC Comics, including future volumes of the "League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen."

And then there's this part...

This led to Moore giving a ten-hour deposition - he believes he'd have suffered less if he'd "sodomised and murdered a busload of children after giving them heroin."

I mean, I love the guy, but...oh wow...there's something wrong about this.

So, does this mean he's going to take an active role in his movies from now on? Maybe to get him back, DC will offer him creative control on Watchmen. Lord knows I have no desire to see the mess that will be.

League is now going to be put out by Top Shelf. A major coup for them.
