It's trick seems to be to distract you with boob and dick jokes (which are awesome) and then when you least expect it, you suddenly realise you reading a really good story. There's a game of chess going on here and I can't wait to see how all the pieces are going to be played....more

Wonderful characters, great plotting, I can't wait to read the next one. However there is one thing Alan Moore is particularly fond of that I'm not.

Usually I just leave them until later and read them separately to the rest. Also, I don't particularly get much from them. I always feel like we're seeing the prep and research done to create the finished product. Alan, I don't need to see your working....more
