Three of Three. The new volume chronicling the exploits of Wilhelmina Murray and her extraordinary colleagues, Century is an epic spanning almost a hundred years. Divided into three 80-page chapters -- each a self-contained narrative to avoid frustrating cliffhanger delays between episodes -- this monumental tale takes place in three distinct eras, building to an apocalyptic conclusion occurring in our own, current, twenty-first century. In Chapter Three, the narrative draws to its cataclysmic close in London, 2008. The magical child whose ominous coming has been foretold for the past hundred years has now been born and has grown up to claim his dreadful heritage. His promised aeon of unending terror can commence, the world can now be ended starting with North London, and there is no League, extraordinary or otherwise, that now stands in his way. The bitter, intractable war of attrition in Q'umar crawls bloodily into its fifth year; in Kashmir, a Sikh terrorist with a now-nuclear-armed submarine wages a holy war against Islam that might push the whole world into atomic holocaust; and in a London mental institution there's a patient who insists that she has all the answers.… (más)

4 stars is pretty generous for what is actually pretty light on plot. But taken within the context of the other Century books, it works pretty well. I did enjoy the characterisations, and I still find all the little references diverting. I can understand people being totally unmoved by this, but personally I just wanted it to be a bit longer. I don't even mind Moore's songs as much I used to. ( )

Wild and trippy, much better than the last one. The ending was cool too! ( )

Liked this a lot more than the first two. For a story made up of (mostly) the heroes of old adventure stories, having presenting Harry Potter as a Hogwarts school-shooting Antichrist is brilliant. Also: James Bond as an old man with "cirrhosis, emphysema, and syphilis". Not to mention President Bartlett!

That being said, I'm not sure how well a pile of references stacks into a good story. It's occasionally enjoyable to catch the more obscure bits here and there, but that's not really enough--especially when the underlying plot is a half-hearted 'we must stop the apocalypse' yarn. Even if it does all wrap up with a Deus Ex Poppins. It's amusing, but could have been more. ( )

So you know Harry Potter is the Antichrist in this right? oops sorry spoilers. Anyway, what I had liked in previous installments of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was all the pop culture stuff he crams in there. So 2009 pop culture stuff? This should be interesting!

But it's just like, "OMG, i HATE harry potter. Stupid harry potter!" ect. which is fine, that was actually pretty cool. But instead of a story being really wide and shallow (like lots of pop culture references, fast moving entertaining action ect. you know), or really specific and deep (genuine emotional responses, well crafted and written moments), this just went really specific and shallow. eh. I have heard a theory that this because the comic is a reflection on the horrible state of our current popular culture, but I weary of explanations that coincidentally lets an author get away with writing something a bit... shit.

UPDATE:
here's some annotations. a really interesting guide to all the references. doesn't save the comic itself from being kinda boring, but it makes it more fun ( )

I don't think Alan Moore is trying to say anything with this series anymore. It's just a dumping grounds for various literary references. ( )
