“It’s just this coat. It’s so big and heavy sometimes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A spin-off story from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen<\/em> books featuring Janni Dakkar as Captain Nemo. The normal creative team of writer Alan Moore and artist Kevin O’Neill are in charge again for this short adventure.<\/p>\n

Set in 1925, the story sees Janni and her crew stealing the belongings of Queen Ayesha who is in New York as the guest of Charles Foster Kane. Back in her hideaway, Janni reflects on her life and her need to emulate and exceed the deeds of her father and so decides to travel to Antarctica to retrace her father’s steps on a quest that left his companions dead and him near to madness. Meanwhile Kane has hired three scientific adventurers to capture Janni at all costs to seek reparation for the loss and embarrassment felt by his house guest.<\/p>\n

A more straight-forward story that the dense Century<\/em> series that was completed last year, this story marks a return to the lighter storytelling of the original League of Extraordinary Gentlemen<\/em> series. The shortness of the story does not give time for much context within the LOEG universe or a well defined reason for the adventure to the South Pole but it is still entertaining nonetheless. The usual elements are here with numerous figures from film and literature making an appearance as well as hallucinatory sequences and alien civilisations. Perhaps not a joining in point for readers new to the LOEG but a fun ride for those who liked the early books.<\/p>\n
