Not the Author's Best Work

Customer Rating:

This did not live up to the high standard set by the previous 2 volumes in the series. In fact, it doesn't seem like Alan Moore even tried very hard. This is not so much a story as it is a bunch of loosely connected ephemera that was probably a lot of fun to create. Don't get me wrong - there are some real gems in here. Short stories that are more or less self-contained which will delight anyone familiar with literature of the 1920's and '30's (the crossover of P.G. Wodehouse and H.P. Lovecraft was brilliant). It's not a worthless volume, just not much of a plot overall and it is in no way a satisfying sequel to the second volume.

worst of the LOEG graphic novels...

Customer Rating:

I usually don't write these reviews much, but I had to have my say. I felt bamboozled after reading this graphic novel. The first two had a sense of adventure, imagination and took the reader on a unusual journey that was just plain fun along the way, at least for myself. After reading the Black Dossier I felt that the writers and artists threw this together in a couple of days to receive a hefty paycheck. No imagination or fun, it was like watching a "made for tv" movie. This will probably be my last Alan Moore graphic novel; if the rest of his career he throws up this "dreck" I will wait for more of his stories to be made into movies, at least then I may have only wasted 4 dollars at the video store instead of almost [...] bucks.

Rabbit is good, rabbit is wise.	Customer Rating:
I'm not going to go into the detail that some of the other reviewers have. I will merely say, the 2 star reviews are spot on. This book has some serious issues and isn't worth the price. If you buy it in the bookstore, it even comes wrapped in plastic, so you can't open it up and see what a piece of meat you're getting. Bad show, move on Alan.

Yawn!

Customer Rating:

Compared to the first two installments of this series, Black Dossier is an extrodinary letdown to fans everywhere. The "tell rather than show" review is absolutely accurate. This book is dense and sometimes very boring. Dispite all the layers and layers of information and background, Black Dossier manages to accomplish nothing. Alan Moore is a rare genius, but unfortunately, his intellect and imagination prevent him from focusing on one specific direction/storyline in this installment. This may very well be required reading for League fans when the Century Series hits stores; however, until then, I'd suggest you get your action-pulp-fix by reading some Verne, Burrows, or Lovecraft.

Excellent follow-up.

Customer Rating:

Not just a comic book, this is, for the most part, the titular Black Dossier. Not a place for anyone who hasn't read a League book before to start with the series, but a truly exciting follow-up for fans. Alan Moore mimics everything from Shakespeare to Kerouac in a book that changes styles every few pages and keeps the reader on their toes, to say the least. Definitely my favourite of the three so far, and am looking forward to "Century" next year. If you didn't like the back-ups in the last two volumes (Allan and the Sundered Veil & the New Traveller's Almanac) then this may not be your cup of tea.
