Incidentally, I also have a series by writer Warren Ellis that plays a little bit with fiction tropes, called Planetary, which I happen to like a lot better than League. If you ever want to see that, or Promethea or some of the other Alan Moore stuff I mentioned, drop me a note.
I completely agree. I like LoEG, but consider it to be quite flawed for what seem to be various standard Alan Moore quirks (including an obsession with brutalizing characters created by other people). However Planetary takes on the same territory, and while it has much grimness in it, the essential optimism of Ellis' work again reveals itself. Also, Ellis' approach to adding kitchen sink's worth of media references is both considerably more restrained and (IMHO at least) far less clumsy than Moore's.
