"Halo Jones" is a poor rip of Joe Haldeman's "Forever War" and Paul Y. can show panels in "Watchmen" taken straight from a book called "Nexus" and Ozymandias' plot is from the Outer Limits (or is it the Twilight Zone - I can't remember which right now).<BR/> "League" is at least gorgeous at times but ultimately thin gruel with little going for it (but dang did I want to love it). And it's a pastiche of type thats been done before.<BR/><BR/>I see your interpretation but I don't think it's what Moore and Lloyd were going for. I think it was a simple diatribe against Thatcherism and the belief that nazis were in the collective British cellar just waiting to slip their leashes.The Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636805818054637966noreply@blogger.com
