Review by Library Journal Review

Probably the best-known work of modern steampunk, Moore and O'Neill's graphic novel captures the movement's aesthetic, both visually and textually. The story is set in a world in which all of the Victorian era's novels actually happened, and a group of the literature's heroes work together, as the titular league, to fight against the villains from those books. The story and the artwork are stunning. Nearly every panel is rife with inside jokes and obscure references to Victorian literature. Moore does his usual amazing work of turning things upside down and inside out and then changing things once more when the reader gets comfortable.-John Klima, Bettendorf P.L., IA (c) Copyright 2010.
