I've never actually read any of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics, except for a short preview which was tacked into an issue of Wizard I got a few months back. The premise looked good though, supposedly the comics bring together famous literary characters from various genres like Sherlock Holmes and co. and weave them into one big story line. Also, the original idea for the comic is done by Alan Moore, who is one of the top American comic writers.

As for X-2, i must confess, of all the Marvel comics, I dislike the whole line of X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force, Excetera the most. I just hate the whole idea of mutant characters. First of all, it is supposed to be part of the definition of superhero comics that the characters have cool origin stories, ie. radioactive spiders, gamma rays, parents murdered in a back alley. However, the mutants conveniently, have no cool origin. What could be duller than blaming everybody's mutation on genetics? The only character to sidestep this is Wolverine, who in the comic and movie, seems to have a more complex origin. In fact, in the comics, it was insinuated for years that he's not a real mutant, but I don't know how that ever played out. Secondly, this whole idea of using mutants as a metaphor for racial prejudices/homophobic prejudcies/sexist prejudices gets tiresome real fast. Finally, there are too many X-men! There must be like a few hundred of them in the marvel comics. 95% of them are pointless, idiotic characters that Marvel fades in and out of existence depending on how popular they are. In short, I hate X-men. Long live the Bat!
